Thecompany has won the prestigious EcoVadis award for 2022 for its pan-Europeanenvironmental and sustainability activities. Emission-free parcel deliverySince last July, GLS CZ has delivered a total of 15emission-free deliveries in twelve cities in the Czech Republic, includingPrague, Karlovy Vary, Ostrava and Hulín. Their fleet will be expanded by atleast ten more vehicles this year, which will significantly help reduce theircarbon footprint. Another 10 electric cargo bikes, which have been used forover a year to deliver packages in the historic centre of Prague, will also beadded. They will also be used to serve the centres of other major cities. Delivering parcels by electric cargo bike has provedvery successful for us in Prague, with the courier delivering approximately 50small and medium-sized parcels per day. Thats why we have establishedcooperation with a Czech manufacturer, who has developed a tailor-made specialfor us to increase operational reliability and efficiency. From our point ofview, this is one of the ways to serve the centres of larger cities in thefuture, not only to offset carbon dioxide emissions, but also to speed updelivery for couriers. E-bikes have no problem to park almost anywhere and theycan also get into narrow streets where it is more difficult for vans togo, says Pavel Včela, Director of GLS Czech Republic. Energy from photovoltaics for the whole dayGLS also takes environmental protection into account whenbuilding new depots and reconstructing existing ones. The expansion of theinternational sorting centre in Jihlava was completed in autumn 2021 and theentire construction was carried out in accordance with environmental standardsand a number of additional green measures. A new 300 kW photovoltaic plant hasbeen installed on the roof of the hall, which will save up to 156 tonnes ofcarbon dioxide emissions per year, equivalent to more than 7,000 trees planted.The solar energy produced will cover the entire daysoperation of the site and the 200 kW battery storage, together with theinfrastructure for charging electric vehicles, also allows for storage and useoutside of daylight hours. A green facade with bird boxes is currently beingcreated on one side of the building, which together with a rainwater retentiontank will create an ideal habitat for many animals. We want to set an exampleand show that industrial construction can also do a lot for the environment,comments Pavel Včela.
