A revolution in last mile delivery
We're breaking free from the old "one delivery after another" logistics model with our Points of Distribution - PODs. These refrigerated units use underutilised spaces in key urban locations. They're loaded with products by truck overnight, and the next morning orders are delivered to customers using electric cargo bikes and vans or empty capacity in smaller vehicles already making journeys into our cities.
The model brings flexibility, cost savings and fresher products when you need them. We are actively reducing traffic levels in peak hours, taking big lorries off the road and reducing emissions into our city air by up to 75% compared to competitors.
Enabling transparency to source
Transparency is a cornerstone of our approach to sustainability. That's why we consider collaboration with the entire supply chain from producer to customer key, ensuring that every step of the journey is 100% traceable.
Both our relationships with producers and focus on impact measurement are essential in how we are able to enable transparency. Through ongoing monitoring and collaboration, we work hand in hand with our partners to provide detailed product information, tailored monthly impact reports and Producer Stories all aimed at empowering our customers to make informed purchasing decisions - particularly when it comes to the environmental impact of their ingredients.
Minimising food waste
At Collectiv Food, reducing food waste isn't just a goal—it's a fundamental principle woven into the fabric of our operations. Through data-driven forecasting and working together with our customers, we strive to ensure that every ingredient finds its purpose. But we understand that sometimes, despite our best efforts, surplus food may arise. That's where our partnerships with our charity partners come into play as they provide us with a vital lifeline, enabling redistribution of our surplus food to those in need.
But our efforts don't stop there. We're aiming to further reduce food waste within our control with the help of advanced-AI powered demand forecasting tools as we continue to grow.
"We enjoy working with a supplier who collect and make sustainability data readily available through their platform, whether that is supplier stories or CO2 emissions saved... this will be incredibly helpful for all our own sustainability pieces, such as the upcoming Scope 3 baseline."
