Suntory refreshes green logistics

Suntory Beverage & Food GB&I, the makers of Lucozade and Ribena, has extended its logistics partnership with DHL Supply Chain

SBF GB&I is partnering with DHL through GoGreen Plus, part of DHL’s comprehensive offering to support customers in reducing their logistics carbon footprint via the deployment of low and zero-carbon fuels and technologies.

Leveraging low-carbon fuels such as hydrotreated vegetable oils and biogas can result in a carbon reduction of around 80% compared to traditional fossil fuels. When integrated into SBF GB&I’s network, these fuels are projected to achieve a Scope 3 reduction of over 2,300 tonnes of CO2e annually.

In deep collaboration with SBF GB&I, DHL significantly improved the efficiency of SBF GB&I’s supply chain, reducing carbon emissions and network waste, eliminating 130,000 road miles each year, by managing co-packing, storage, and distribution from one location. 

Karl Ottomar, supply chain director at Suntory Beverage & Food GB&I, said: “Since partnering with DHL Supply Chain, we have seen an impressive improvement in the efficiency of our logistics operations. Having made our commitment to deploying more sustainable solutions clear from the very start, DHL has been the perfect partner in helping us cut our carbon footprint and deliver effective supply chain solutions that will have a long-term impact.”
