Belazu's New Electric Vans
Posted by Belazu on 2023-10-10
We have some electrifying news!
Our fleet has had a significant upgrade, welcoming three new electric, temperature-controlled vans. These state-of-the-art eco-friendly vehicles are hitting the roads, ensuring that our fresh ingredients make their way to our customers' doorsteps in the best possible way.
The best part is that they deliver zero emissions!
The new, quieter vans perfectly align with our environmental objectives to achieve an astounding reduction in scope 1 & 2, direct and indirect emissions by 2030. Considering that our delivery vans are responsible for roughly half of our direct emissions, this transition marks an enormous leap forward in our sustainability journey. To put this achievement into perspective, our trio of electric vans will save a staggering 24 tonnes of CO2 per year*. This equates to 17 cars off the road in the UK**.
These initiatives underscore our commitment to the broader B-Corp community values and our unwavering dedication to reducing our environmental impact on the community we serve. This commitment has been a cornerstone of our journey since day one.
Here are some of the remarkable changes we've implemented over the years:
- Our Greenford site is 100% zero-landfill.
- We take pride in donating all surplus edible food through our partnership with City Harvest.
- Our dedicated beekeepers generously volunteer their time to nurture and maintain the well-being of the 100,000 bees on our site, playing a pivotal role in pollination and supporting local food supplies.
Our new upgrade marks another decisive step toward our ambitious net-zero targets. Keep an eye out for these eco-champions in and around London, easily recognisable by their bold Belazu Blue branding! Stay tuned for more exciting updates!
