CTT perform Nespresso’s easy deliveries

9 July, 2020

CTT and Nespresso reinforced their partnership through the initiative “Easy deliveries”. This initiative will enable all Lisbon customers to receive their Nespresso orders with CTT’s electric vehicles until the end of July, contributing to a more sustainable future to all.

CTT’s commitment with sustainability is now reinforced with this partnership with Nespresso, investing in an “easy deliveries” pilot project. Lisbon was the city chosen to kick-off these new sustainable deliveries, already this month of July. The orders will all be delivered by a CTT’s electric vehicle, with an autonomy of more than 150 km.

The “Easy deliveries” project will have three Renault Kangoo ZE33 Maxi vehicles. These vehicles will save more than 15 tons of CO2 annually. These electric vehicles do not issue any particles and NOx. Furthermore, CTT buys exclusively 100% renewable electric energy, so the carbon impact of these electric vehicles is null, improving the city’s air quality. 

CTT owns the largest Portuguese ecologic fleet in the logistics sector, with 315 vehicles. The environment protection is a constant priority.

With the aim of increasing the recycling rate in Portugal, Nespresso defies the Portuguese people to deliver the couriers their used capsules to recycle. Once recycled into raw material, they can be used to produce car parts, window frames or bicycles. To do so, Nespresso has just replaced the capsule recycling bag for another one made with 70% recycled material.

CTT is completely involved with sustainability, and worried about the future. This is a daily attitude, innovating the products, processes, corporate service technology and various initiatives and support that are of the utmost importance to the community. CTT has implemented various biodiversity and climate change fight measures through a neutral ecologic and energy portfolio (easy mail, Eco DM and Express and parcels) and the investment in carbon and energy efficiency, leading to the reduction of 64% in the carbon footprint between 2008 and 2019.
