Deliveries toolkits

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.

Personal deliveries

Assess what is and isn't business-critical. Personal items are believed to make up 30-40% of all deliveries to workplaces. Our research tells us 67% of people are willing to use alternative collection points for personal deliveries, which can reduce traffic to your workplace.
