We’ve taken another step forward in our journey to decarbonise our operations. We’ve transitioned 164 of our Grocery Home Shopping (GHS) delivery vans from diesel to Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), a renewable fuel that can reduce carbon emissions by up to 90% compared with conventional diesel. This means over one‑third of our delivery fleet is now operating on lower‑carbon fuel, and we are on track to reach 50% by the end of the year. Today, approximately 20,000 customer orders every week are delivered nationwide using HVO‑powered vans. The HVO supplied by Certa Ireland, produced from waste‑material feedstocks, allows us to replace diesel without any engine modifications. This enables immediate emissions reductions using our existing fleet while we continue to invest in long‑term, zero‑emission transport solutions.
