Vert chez Vous, 1st to be awarded the TK'Blue label in the "Urban Distribution" category

Vert chez Vous is definitely innovating and setting the benchmark! Labelled by the Novalog and Advencity competitiveness clusters, "Coup de coeur" "Innovation" at the Top Transport 2012 trade show, "Ile-de-France mobility trophy in the Goods category", Vert chez Vous continues to receive awards and encouragement.

The latest recognition to date is the certification by the European extra-financial rating agency TK'Blue in the "Urban Distribution" category.

 With Vert chez Vous, TK'Blue inaugurates the "Urban Distribution" category in France

TK'Blue's objective is to highlight shippers and principals who choose, where possible, to promote optimal transport solutions that are economically, socially, technically and environmentally efficient.

Until now, TK'Blue has only rated road, rail, river and short-distance maritime transport modes. Vert chez Vous is therefore the first French company to be labelled in the "Urban Distribution" category.

The criteria for the "Urban Distribution" label

The TK'Blue approach is multidimensional and aims to value, compare and measure the overall negative externalities (congestion, noise, particles, etc.) of the different modes of transport and their energy efficiency.

For the "Urban distribution" category, about twenty criteria are taken into account. They mainly focus on equipment, employee training and the proper management of the company's resources :

– Composition of the fleet: electric, CNG, Euro 5 diesel, automatic gearbox, etc.,

Fleet management and route optimization software,

Training in eco-driving and study of the behavioural aspects of the company, etc.

On the occasion of the Vert chez Vous label, Philippe Mangeard, the president of TK'Blue, declared: "With TK'Blue, urban distribution now has a real European eco-responsible performance indicator, and already has an operator of the highest level!"

 "For Vert chez Vous, this label is strategic because it validates our virtuous positioning and brings a real advantage to our shipper customers," says Gilles Manuelle, co-founder of Vert chez Vous. By using our services, they immediately benefit from a favourable rating of their transport activity (assessment of environmental and social impact, and economic performance). We are pleased to have this asset to offer to our customers and future customers. Entrusting your flows to Vert chez Vous is also the best way to avoid the eco-tax!"
