The Challenge
Environmental impact and sustainability are at the core of Edgard & Cooper’s business model. They wanted to eliminate emissions by 2050, but when they analyzed the impact of their indirect emissions (Scope 3) - they were overwhelmed. As an innovative and forward-thinking company, Edgard & Cooper needed a like-minded freight forwarder with clear environmental goals. A meeting with the sennder Green Team provided the solutions they were seeking.
The Solution
At first, Edgard & Cooper spoke with us about maintaining efficient and cost-effective road transport. As they learned about green logistic solutions from sennder, specifically HVO, the conversation shifted. They realized the potential of a strategic partnership and discovered how we could help them reduce road freight emissions, immediately and long-term, with our advanced, in-house technology.
WHAT IS HVO?
HVO is made from 100% renewable materials and can reduce up to 90% of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG or CO2e) when compared with fossil diesel.
HVO is fully compatible with all diesel engine and has a similar chemical composition to fossil diesel. This means that it is a drop-in replacement for fossil diesel.
