Black Friday’s carbon impact: companies commit to sustainable delivery certification<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n
Montreal, November 27, 2024<\/strong> – On the eve of Black Friday and the holiday season, Coop Carbone is proud to announce that three new companies are joining Sustainable Delivery Certification<\/a>, marking a significant first step for the program across Canada.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe addition of these new certified services demonstrates our commitment to expanding access to more sustainable last-mile delivery practices, not only in Quebec, but elsewhere in Canada as well. Focusing on the climatic impact of the last mile is important: up to 50% of GHGs are linked to this most complex and costly stage,\u201d
\nsays Pauline Robert, Coop Carbone’s Director of Carbon Markets and GHG Management.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

During Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2023, online sales reached $70.9 billion worldwide, an increase of 8% over the previous year, according to a study by Salesforce. With an average shopping basket estimated at $50, this means that an estimated 1.4 billion packages are shipped worldwide.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

A first breakthrough outside Quebec<\/h3>\n

Certification now extends to Ontario and British Columbia, thanks to FleetOptics<\/strong>, a national provider that has certified its delivery services in the Toronto and Vancouver metropolitan areas. Two more companies have been announced, Monquartier en Bo\u00eete<\/strong>, which joins the network from downtown and suburban Quebec City, and Radish<\/strong>, a food delivery cooperative in Montreal.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring high-consumption periods such as the Holidays, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, home delivery costs society dearly: congestion, pollution, noise, accidents and GHGs represent approximately $100 per day per vehicle, or $200,000 daily for Montrealers. At a time when 68% of Quebecers attach importance to carbon-neutral delivery, it’s essential to support the sustainable practices put in place by certain companies,\u201d

Good for the economy, society and the environment<\/h3>\n

Made possible by the financial support of the Quebec government\u2019s MobilisActions financial assistance program for activities promoting sustainable mobility, and powered by Coop Carbone, Sustainable Delivery Certification ensures that parcel delivery services, from the last warehouse to the final destination, meet strict sustainability standards. Transport companies with certified services undertake to comply with rigorous specifications, involving:<\/p>\n
