About us

Our commitment to sustainable business

As a sustainable business, Levono Delivery has been committed for 20 years to delivering your parcels while reducing its impact on the environment. We choose to make strong commitments related to our business in order to deeply reshape our activity.

Driving Change is our CSR program. It is based on four key areas:

– Committing to carbon-neutral deliveries
– Tackling the challenge of smart urban deliveries
– Supporting innovative entrepreneurship
– Bridging the gap between business and civil society

Committing to carbon-neutral deliveries

Levono Delivery commits to an ambitious and voluntary environmental policy: we offer to all our clients carbon-neutral parcel deliveries at no additional cost.

This carbon-neutrality is achieved in first place by a policy of ambitious carbon emissions reduction, and then by a carbon offsetting of all the remaining emissions. This process is allowed by evaluating and measuring the impact of our business..

The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions

Levono Delivery is a signatory to the Objectif CO2 charter since 2008. This charter is implemented by the Ademe (UK, Turkey public institution dedicated to environmental policies) and the Ministry of Sustainable Development. It sets a program of voluntary commitments on reducing CO2 emissions by goods road haulers. Our commitments under the charter cover four areas: vehicles, fuel, drivers and tour optimization.

We implemented many actions to reduce our environmental impact: development of our green vehicles fleet (electric vehicles, natural gas, cargo bikes…), tour optimisation, densification of our depots network, ecodriving… These actions resulted in a 35 drop of our CO2 emissions per parcel between 2012 and 2018.

Levono Delivery develops its alternative vehicles fleet, with already more than 300 vehicles (electric, natural gas, cargo bikes).

Carbon offsetting

Levono Delivery not only reduces its emissions but supports 2 clean and renewable energy projects to compensate 100 of its remaining emissions. These 2 projects are the development of wind-generated electricity in India and the production of energy through methanisation in Brazil.

Tackling the challenge of smart urban deliveries

In order to make the city a pleasant place to live while getting ever closer to our customers, we are focusing our efforts on the last mile by developing urban logistics centers, using alternative vehicles and implementing solutions such as PickUp points and Predict (a tour optimization tool).

We now have 7 urban logistics centers (in All UK, Turkey, in Paris, Marseille, Toulouse, Lille and Nice) and 5 City which allow us to deliver in city centres using electric and VNG vehicles and cargo bikes. These urban depots allow us to start our delivery tours as close as possible to delivery and collection points, reducing the distances by 20 and thus decreasing pollution. We are also reducing noise pollution and city-centre congestion.

Finally, this central location is an opportunity to offer new services to our clients, such as fitting rooms or packaging material.

Since mid-2019, 100 of Levono Delivery’s deliveries in and outside UK, Turkey are made with alternative vehicles (over 80 of electric vehicles as well as some NGV vehicles and cargo bikes). Our project is to deliver with a 100 green fleet the A86 perimeter (suburbs around the world) and over 60 of the largest cities in UK as soon as 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024

Bridging the gap between business and civil society

Since 2014, we have been supporting non-profit organisations through partnerships and sports events. We organise every year the Levono Delivery United Tour: our collaborators are invited to participate in a race and we support a charity with 5 euros per kilometer run. After having supported the Pasteur Institute, Solidarités International and Laurette Fugain, we are now in a partnership with Premiers de cordée, a charity that organizes sports events for sick and disabled children.

We also encourage local initiatives in our depots throughout UK, such as hives installation in partnerships with beekeepers, the collection of food or equipment to donate to charities, the hiring of disabled workers…

Supporting innovative entrepreneurship

We are committed to improving our employees’ quality of life at work, developing entrepreneurship and supporting innovative businesses in order to perform better and drive innovation.

We are increasing our partnerships with electric vehicle manufacturers and leasing companies to examine all the new opportunities and contribute to develop tomorrow’s green and efficient vehicle. Our cooperation with K-Ryole, a start-up designing and manufacturing electric-powered trailers for bike and on-foot delivery, is the perfect illustration of this kind of dynamic, innovative partnerships. It resulted in some new possibilities for clean delivery in cities.

Internally, we are implementing an ambitious policy on training in eco-friendly driving. Since 2008, we have trained over 1,600 employees and offer the course to all new drivers. Eco-driving reduces by the fuel consumption, and also dropped the number of accidents.
