Wren Kitchens is the latest in a raft of businesses to announce that is working to reduce CO2 emissions. In this case, the business is converting its home delivery fleet to run on used cooking oil having conducted a three month trial of the renewable low carbon diesel alternative. This will bring an immediate 90 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions once fully live by September and requires no modifications to vehicles.
Lee Holes, transport & logistics director for Wren Kitchens said: “We’re committed to minimising our environmental impact whilst delivering customers’ kitchens and improving environmental performance throughout our operations. The introduction of HVO is another exciting milestone in our long-term sustainability plan and it also plays a pivotal part in delivering against the government’s target for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.”
