Van racking supplier System Edström has introduced a new feature to its DnD online configurator as part of its commitment to building a more sustainable future.
The tool, which will appear in automatic quotations, helps customers improve sustainability in their supply chains by tracking CO2 emissions.
Quotations will now include the amount of CO2 emissions (in kilograms) created in extracting the materials used in their products. The information, based on average CO2 emissions for the specific product in terms of dry weight, allows end-users to compare the carbon footprints of different suppliers.
The new function builds on System Edström’s environmental record, which includes cutting its use of plastic, using more recycled materials and reducing its carbon footprint.
David Sawford, commercial director, explained: “Our customers are increasingly aware of the importance of sustainability in their businesses. This initiative will give them greater confidence in the environmental credentials of System Edström products. It will also help them choose products that reduce their own impact on the environment.”
