Making Sustainable choices

Discover some of the ways we're helping reduce environmental impact, promote a circular economy and support our communities.

How we’ll make a difference

As ONE Selecta we are committed not only to delivering high-class service but also to doing so in a sustainable way. We're focusing on four areas for action: Respecting the Environment, Healthy and Sustainable Products, Sustainability in our Supply Chain, and Being an Employer of Choice.

FLEET ELECTRIFICATION


On average, 85% of the electricity we source at our warehouses and offices was generated from renewable sources. We continue to pursue renewable energy sourcing at our buildings.

ROUTE OPTIMIZATION & TELEMETRY

Our fleet reduced from 7,000 to 5,000 vehicles in 2021 due to right-sizing and efficient routing enabled by an average of 37% telemetry coverage and continue expanding this program.

RENEWABLE ENERGY


Our green car policy across the group aim to increase the share of fully electric or hybrid. For instance,  Oslo and Amsterdam would have a fully electric fleet by the end of 2022.

SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING

We offer plant-based topping alternatives as a healthy and environmentally friendly options. We continue the product development by discovering different plant-based flavors for our toppings.

FOOD WASTE SOLUTIONS


We reduce food waste by adjusting the filling rate and planograms of our smart fridges while setting consumer awareness campaigns.
