Dutch retailer Albert Heijn says it is on track to reach 100% emission-free goods transport in the centre of four cities – The Hague, Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Utrecht – by the end of this year.

Albert Heijn already relies on 100% electric transport for home delivery of groceries and supplies to stores in the centre of The Hague and Rotterdam, the company added.

It expects to roll out the same in the centre of Amsterdam and Utrecht in the near future, with more city centres to follow in 2024.

Sonja Boelhouwer, director of omnichannel operations at Albert Heijn stated, “We focus on eight specific topics where we, as Albert Heijn, can influence the reduction of CO2 emissions.

“These include: more sustainable assortment, recyclable packaging, combating food waste and transport. Together with transport partners, we aim for completely emission-free transport. We continue to innovate to achieve this.”
