H&M pilots delivery by bicycle in the Netherlands
Fashion retailer H&M is piloting the delivery of orders by bicycle in the Netherlands.
The company has teamed up with Fietskoeriers which picks up the parcels from the retailer’s warehouse using biogas vehicles, then delivers them by bicycle from local hubs.
Fietskoeriers covers around 30 cities in the country. The new service offers H&M customers next-day delivery.
Pascal Brun, head of sustainability at H&M, said: “We are happy to see an increasing interest for sustainability among our customers and hope they will love this new climate-smart way of getting their fashion finds delivered to their homes. We look forward to evaluating this pilot project and to reveal new exciting projects when it comes to climate-smart transports.”
H&M is working to make its logistics operations as energy efficient as possible as part of plans to become climate positive by 2040.
