IPM India Wholesale Trading Pvt Ltd expanded its sustainable logistics network by introducing energy-efficient practices and utilizing more ecologically friendly forms of transportation. Together, the company’s efforts over the previous year have cut 684 tonnes of CO2 emissions, with the aim of reaching this milestone by FY25.
The company has progressively included environmentally friendly fuels, such as compressed natural gas (CNG) and electric vehicles (EVs), into its logistics fleet. Since their first introduction in key locations like Delhi-NCR and Mumbai, these automobiles alone have helped to reduce CO2 emissions by more than 30 tonnes. In an attempt to further minimize its carbon footprint, IPM India has shifted more than 70% of its non-tobacco material sourcing from air freight to more ecologically friendly sea and land routes. This change is expected to contribute to an extra 654 tons of CO2 emissions reduction by March 2025.
Philip Morris International (PMI), one of the leading global tobacco firms, has been working harder to integrate sustainability into its business practices across the globe. To achieve environmental goals, this includes initiatives to reduce carbon emissions, employ greener technology, and optimize supply networks. PMI wants to attain net-zero carbon emissions across its global value chain and operations by 2040.
In India, where environmental concerns are becoming increasingly significant, the sustainability initiatives of private sector companies significantly support the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) and other government programs promoting the use of renewable energy.
