Deliveries toolkits
Sustainable shopping
This toolkit provides guidance and tools for office or site-based organisations to help your employees choose greener options for their online shopping, aid with reducing the environmental footprint of your business, and support greener deliveries in London.
Cycle freight
Cargo bikes are zero emission and require less road space than cars or vans, offering a good alternative for deliveries that can help improve local air quality and ease congestion. A charity in Islington has made financial savings of around £140 per month by switching from diesel van deliveries to cargo bike couriers.
Waste consolidation
Team up with neighbours to get the best deal from a supplier. Businesses in Bond Street successfully set up a preferred supplier 'Buyer's Club', resulting in waste-related vehicle trips being reduced from 144 to nine per day, a 94% fall.
Retiming deliveries
Aim to move deliveries outside the morning peak. A national health and beauty retailer cut journey times by 18.5%, NOx by 28%, and fuel usage by 3.2%.
