In an effort to reduce its carbon footprint in its supply chain, apparel retailer Uniqlo Singapore has switched out its fleet of diesel vans for electric vans.

Dawn Pan, Director of Multi-Franchise Operations for Cycle & Carriage Singapore, notes that the company remains “committed to assisting our partners in achieving optimal operational efficiencies and sustainability goals.”

These vans will be used to carry out Uniqlo Singapore’s Click and Collect deliveries. The service allows customers to shop online and have their orders sent to their store of choice for self-pickup.

Hwee Lee, Senior Director for Sustainability at Uniqlo Singapore, sees the switch in alignment with the company’s “transition to a business model that promotes both sustainability and business growth.”

The retailer also hopes to improve its day-to-day efficiency whilst consuming lesser energy and reducing emissions.

Select Uniqlo stores have also been providing same-day Click and Collect service which allows customers to place their orders by 12pm and collect them within the same day. Same-day Click and Collect will be available at 26 Uniqlo stores islandwide from 1 July 2022.

Globally, Uniqlo and its parent company Fast Retailing are fully committed to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, in alignment with climate change targets of the Paris Agreement.

Uniqlo Singapore is also a retail partner of Sembcorp, and is its first retail partner to purchase Renewable Energy Certificates for its stores and offices. In 2021 it achieved a 50% transition to using renewable energy.
