SCA's CO2-neutral distribution bid
SCA is aiming to become the Netherlands’ first retail supplier to distribute all its retail hygiene products in a CO2-neutral way.
The oranisation has set up the Green Care Transport body to this end in conjunction with a selected group of transport companies.
“The primary aim of the collaboration is to reduce CO2 emissions for all transport by using reduction targets, a programme of action for transporters and by investing in sustainable energy projects,” says Riny Strik, regional director of business logistics for SCA’s hygiene operations in the Benelux.
“We would like to encourage more transporters, suppliers and retailers to start using the Green Care Transport programme.”
The programme will include driver training, aerodynamics and the optimisation of efficient motors which will help to reduce fuel and CO2 emissions.
SCA and its transporters will offset the remaining emissions by investing in sustainable energy projects in collaboration with the Climate Neutral Group and in accordance with WWF:s Gold Standard.
The new distribution process will have a positive effect on the environment while also reducing transport costs as a result of the optimisation of truck loading and the limitation of "empty leg" journeys.
