Program for logistics

Smart logistics and sensible packaging can save a lot of kilometres and fuel. Our Logistics Excellence program is designed to optimize every step of the supply chain. We are continually optimizing how we handle frozen and fresh products in our warehouses, and how we pack and ship the products across borders.

Through packaging optimization projects, we customise the size and thickness of our corrugated cardboard boxes and plastic bags. That means that we transport less air and more bread on every truck that leaves our warehouses. We use hybrid and high-capacity transportation trucks in selected countries to transport more bread per truck load to thereby drive less kilometres. We are working together with our transport suppliers to increase the usage of biofuels such as Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) which can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90% over the fuel’s life cycle compared to fossil diesel. We are looking at the emissions of the warehouses we operate with and use this as a factor to choose our partners when consolidating warehouses across borders. Furthermore, we are running projects on how to optimize our routing to reduce CO2 emissions as well as making CO2 part of our decision-making when building business cases.
