Zedify publish 2022 Impact Report
‘With the transport sector accounting for the biggest chunk of the UK’s carbon footprint and 32% of that
arising from HGVs and vans, we’ve simply got to get a handle on real emissions reductions’ says Zedify as it releases its 2022 Impact Report.
The sustainable delivery service pioneer saw it’s cargo bikes save 278 tonnes of CO2 through 2022, with the low impact cargo bikes producing no NOx or CO2 emissions. For context….
In 2022 Zedify saw it’s cargo trikes (95.8%) and electric vans (4.2% of it’s fleet) travel an astonishing 584,000Km, or the equivalent of 14.5 times round the earth’s equator!
Employed over 130 riders, across 10 hubs, all paid the real Living Wage, the business has an NPS score of 88, compared to an industry average of 40: Happy customers, happy staff, new investors, and expansion plans.
Of the 2022 Impact Report, founders, CEO Rob King and CSO Sam Keam comment, “This report matters hugely to us. Demonstrating measurable positive change is why we founded Zedify. It’s why we remain fully committed to operating the lowest possible impact fleet and urban delivery model, and why we continue to measure and report on a growing range of sustainability indicators across climate, air pollution, resource consumption, and diversity, equity & inclusion.”
Zedify is set to make its bike delivery network available to around 20% of the UK’s population thanks to a £5m investment, with Manchester and Birmingham key targets.
The round was led by Barclays Sustainable Impact Capital and MEIF Proof of Concept & Early Stage Fund, which is managed by Mercia and part of the Midlands Engine Investment Fund, with additional funds from original investors, Green Angel Syndicate, and new investors, Prova.
Zedify provides sustainable ‘first and last mile’ deliveries using cargo bikes in city centres, where vans can’t operate efficiently and create congestion and air pollution. Their clients include major retail brands, leading national parcel carriers and hundreds of local independent businesses across 10 UK city locations.
