Climate-conscious deliveries
More and more purchases in this area are now being made over the Internet. Through smart work with logistics, we are steering development towards reduced climate impact.
Ever since day one, the climate and environment have been an issue in which we are deeply invested. Through a variety of initiatives – from in-house developed technology to research projects – we are working hard to reduce climate impacts and offer climate-conscious last mile deliveries. Over the coming years we will focus fully on making our deliveries even more climate-conscious.
Gordon Delivery is an active participant in multiple projects and research work. Here is a selection.
Gordon Circular
Gordon has registered a patent application for a completely new solution where Gordon delivers food to the consumer’s door in reusable bags that are picked up at the next delivery.
Resvinn
Under the leadership of Chalmers Industriteknik, Gordon Delivery contributes as one of 50 participating organisations in developing smart solutions to reduce food waste and give new life to excess food.
ENKLA
For Sweden to reach its climate goals for transportation, a fossil-free transition is required soon. Gordon is one of the partners in the ENKLA project, which investigates whether transhipment terminals can be part of the solution.

To reduce the climate impact and noise of our city deliveries, Gordon is working to use only electric vehicles for these deliveries.
Using electric vehicles as mobile refrigerators has its own particular challenges; the cargo space needs to be insulated and the vehicle's battery requires capacity to power both the vehicle and the refrigeration unit. This requires extra space while making the vehicle heavier, which affects how much the vehicle can be loaded and how far it can travel on a charge. We aim to gradually replace our refrigerated lorries with electric refrigerated lorries in urban areas to reduce the environmental impact.
