tentree, an apparel brand known for planting trees for every item purchased, announced a partnership with GoBolt, the Toronto-based technology company building a sustainable and vertically integrated supply chain network.
GoBolt will handle tentree’s e-commerce fulfillment and final mile delivery in select hub cities across Canada – a step towards reducing tentree’s supply chain carbon footprint.
Brands’ supply chain emissions are typically the largest contributor to their carbon footprint. Ninety 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 its 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 uses blockchain technology to verify and track the progress of tree-planting initiatives and nature-based restoration efforts.
tentree products will be fulfilled and shipped via GoBolt in Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal and Toronto. In addition to providing sustainable transportation, GoBolt’s technology offers real-time truck tracking for packages, text notifications for when the package is on its way, and three times faster deliveries.
