Sustainability
Loomis is keenly aware of the challenges facing our planet due to climate change and environmental contamination. That’s why we have asked ourselves, what can Loomis do to fight climate change?
Our vision is to be the leading sustainable business partner within our industry by reducing climate impact across the global organisation – by reducing emissions. switching to renewable energy and collaborating with vendors and customers to make sustainable choices.
After a thorough analysis of Loomis’ environmental footprint, we decided to set a specific goal: to reduce our CO2 emissions by 15% in 2024, and by 20% in 2025.
WHY CHOOSE LOOMIS?
Fleet electrification is a key part of our progress towards a more sustainable future
Transportation accounts for up to 70% of our emissions so we plan to progressively reduce the number of diesel-fueled vehicles from 75.94% of the fleet to 41.33% by 2027.
The transition to electric and hybrid vehicles is already well under way.
We have implemented an advanced system of route optimization in order to streamline our processes and reduce CO2 emissions
Use of route optimisation and dynamic scheduling combined reduces both the number of visits required to our customers as well as stems mileage on route.
Skilled optimisation planning has enabled Loomis Group to reduce the fleet size by 12% whilst supporting an increase of services of 14% over the last 3 years. That’s a significant achievement!
Loomis uses HVO fuel in all the countries where it is available
This biofuel made of vegetable oil can reduce up to 80% of CO2 emissions.
Full electric vehicles also form an integral part of the Loomis fleet and are utilised wherever range and payload are compatible with service requirements.
The company keeps a close eye on technological advances and battery life and its environmental impact.
Hydrogen FCVE is also a the forefront of Loomis plans as a renewable energy source which will support the decarbonisation of the global economy.
Solar panels installed in Loomis branches provide sunshine power!
Helping to reduced our CO2 emissions, with the additional benefit of providing energy for our electric vehicles. This strategy has been implemented in Spain with excellent results; in Barcelona we have been using solar panels since 2021 and saving 28 t CO2 every year.
Loomis is working on extending the project to other countries; all countries in Europe have been evaluated for the installation of solar cells; we estimate that once solar energy is fully operational an average of 57% of Loomis energy will be self consumption.
