Guwahati, May 20: The logistics industry is one of the key industries that drive the business of any industrial player. It reaches out to the customers or clients by delivering the required products and goods at the right time, at the right place, and in the right condition. The industry is looked upon now for addressing the environmental issues and preparing itself to serve the clients while ensuring sustainability. V-Trans, being the leading logistics player, has adopted the ESG (Environmental Social Governance) strategy to contribute to the environment and build sustainable logistics solutions. Highlighting some of the group’s ESG initiatives that demonstrate the company as a socially responsible & ESG compliant player in India.
V-Trans has installed renewable energy production with solar panels on various premises. 40% of electricity usage is being generated through solar in these facilities, including the corporate office, which is also a US-based LEED-certified building. One of the most important natural resources is water, and the best time to preserve it was yesterday. V-Trans knows the importance of this resource and hence has implemented rainwater harvesting techniques in various branches and Fulfilment centers, to ensure its highest optimal usage.
V-Trans is further planning to implement an environment-friendly approach in every walk of logistic service and as a part of it, we highly concentrate on our fleets and make sure that it emits a very minimal amount of smoke while running and hence we carry out various methods like not getting into overloading to avoid unnecessary smoke emission, and as a part of being an alternative fuel resource we use a good number, of CNG vehicles, almost 25% as our fleets. As a pioneering step in B2B logistics, we have also piloted electric vehicles for the last mile deliveries.
