Tentree announced its partnership with GoBolt, the Toronto-based tech company, to handle its e-commerce fulfillment and final mile delivery in select hub cities across Canada towards reducing the company’s supply chain carbon footprint.
Said Tentree: “Brands’ supply chain emissions are typically the largest contributor to their carbon footprint—90 percent of a company’s environmental impacts are caused by supply chains on average—and they are also the most difficult to measure and address. By transitioning to GoBolt’s growing electric vehicle (EV) fleet for deliveries, Tentree is investing in improving their supply chain footprint step by step.”
“As a certified climate-neutral company, we’re always seeking ways to contribute to creating a healthier planet,” said Derrick Emsley, co-founder and CEO of Tentree and Veritree. “Our partnership ensures we take this commitment to the last mile where consumers want a cleaner way to receive their online purchases. With the added benefit of GoBolt’s partnership with Veritree, it’s a win that any transport emissions also support our planet through tree planting.”
GoBolt has committed to “first-party carbon neutral deliveries by the end of 2023 by building an electric fleet for package deliveries and offsetting any remaining carbon footprint through Tentree’s sister company, veritree. Veritree utilizes blockchain technology to verify and track the progress of tree-planting initiatives and nature-based restoration efforts,” said Tentree.
“The GoBolt team is thrilled to partner with Tentree, a brand that embraces the opportunity to make the environment better with every sale it makes,” said Mark Ang, CEO and co-founder of GoBolt. “GoBolt is also proud to partner with Veritree to sequester carbon emissions from our deliveries where using an EV isn’t possible. Together, as we support verified nature restoration projects, we hope to set an example for other brands that it’s not only responsible to focus on sustainability, it’s better for business when you do.”
Tentree products will be fulfilled and shipped via GoBolt in Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, and Toronto starting this month. In addition to providing sustainable transportation, GoBolt’s technology “offers real-time truck tracking for your package, text notifications for when the package is on its way and 3x faster deliveries,” said Tentree.
