TIL Logistics Group is welcoming an initiative to address carbon emissions.
The NZX-listed transport and logistics company is among 60 business to sign the Climate Leaders Coalition.
Firms have agreed to measure their greenhouse gas emissions and publicly report on them, set a public reduction target and work with suppliers to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.
TIL chief executive Alan Pearson says his company is “proud” to be involved.
“We are committed to working together as part of the coalition to create a sustainable future for New Zealand and make it a great place to live and work – now and for future generations.
“This not only makes good sense for our country, but also good economic sense for our business.
“We will continue to identify and invest in new initiatives to further improve our fuel efficiency, cut our electricity use and reduce waste,” Pearson says.
TIL commitments:
· Partnering with Z Energy for the use of bio fuels across TIL’s 1000 NZ truck fleet.
· Engagement of in-cab technology, such as ERoad, to monitor driver behaviour for fuel efficiency.
· Use of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology to reduce emissions.
· Investment in LED lighting across all TIL Logistics Group’s warehouses. New facilities are designed to maximise energy efficiency as much as possible.
· Investing in video conferencing to reduce flights and travel.
