Global logistics and technology provider EV Cargo has reinforced its commitment to sustainability with a special webinar coinciding with Earth Day on Thursday 22 April.<\/p>\n
Over 120 attendees heard how the global business was taking positive measures to reduce its impact on the environment with many making personal and professional pledges to embrace sustainability initiatives in their daily lives.<\/p>\n
The event, headlined \u201cRestore Our Earth\u201d, focused on successful sustainability initiatives proven to both save money and positively impact on the environment. It also provided a forum to discuss the positive influence such initiatives can have on communities, as well as highlighting EV Cargo\u2019s journey to diversity and inclusion.<\/p>\n
Speakers at the event included Duncan Grewcock, chief commercial officer at EV Cargo Technology, who discussed packaging optimisation; Simon Gibbard, network operations general manager for EV Cargo company Palletforce, who outlined the sustainability benefits from the company\u2019s network business model; and Danielle Owen, EV Cargo\u2019s head of marketing and communications, who discussed the subject of \u201cImpacting Communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Attendees heard how EV Cargo\u2019s leading technology significantly improved container load fill for Marks & Spencer, helping it remove 1,070 million tonnes of CO2 from its supply chain by reducing 1,000 shipping containers used per year. Other case studies were presented that resulted in important CO2 emission reductions as well as savings in corrugate material for Primark.<\/p>\n
They also learned about the sustainability benefits delivered by the Palletforce business model, with the local member network helping to reduce mileages and allowing vehicles to operate at industry-leading load fill and efficiency levels. It\u2019s estimated that pallet networks in the UK help remove 800 vehicles a day from UK roads thus reducing costs and increasing savings in CO2 emissions and reducing air pollution.<\/p>\n
Organiser Dr. Virginia Alzina, EV Cargo\u2019s chief sustainability officer, says: \u201cSustainability is vital to the way we operate and is central to our growth. EV Cargo\u2019s pioneering solutions, powered by technology and innovation, allows customers to benefit from a swift, smart and efficient service.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur continual investment in market-leading infrastructure, technology and skills means we are dedicated to reducing energy, slashing emissions and cutting freight miles\u201d. This webinar is the first of its kind for EV Cargo, and we hope it will encourage more employees to get involved and attend subsequent sustainability events and initiatives.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe webinar was a huge success with many people already pledging to make positive changes in their daily lives to help reduce their personal impact on the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n
