Celebrating Sustainable Excellence

It is with great pride that we look back on Velogic’s achievement of the prestigious 2024 Environment Award in the Logistics and Transportation category. This award was conveyed at a ceremony organized by the Ministry of Environment, Solid Waste Management, and Climate Change, last month, commemorating World Environment Day 2024.

This recognition not only distinguishes our commitment to sustainable practices and environmental stewardship but also underscores our dedication to implementing and maintaining environmentally responsible operations. It stands as a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team in striving for a greener future.

“At Velogic, we are keenly aware that the logistics industry is a significant contributor to carbon emissions. We are strongly committed to reducing our carbon footprint.”

Nayendranath (Vishal) Nunkoo, CEO

At Velogic, our sustainable initiatives encompass several key areas:

  • Defensive Driving and Efficient Fleet Management: Velogic emphasizes defensive driving techniques to enhance road safety, reduce fuel consumption, and minimize carbon emissions. This approach supports efficient fleet management and contributes to our overall sustainability goals.
  • Water Efficiency: Rigorous techniques like advanced water management and rainwater harvesting reduce our water footprint and support environmental preservation.
  • Fuel and Waste Oil Management: Measures such as containment vaults and daily inspections prevent fuel spillage, complemented by emergency preparedness with spill kit trailers.
  • Digital Transformation: Streamlining procurement through digital systems enhances operational efficiency and reduces paper consumption, promoting sustainability.
  • Circular Economy: Zero waste strategies, including recycling and repurposing materials like pallets into signage, foster a sustainable workplace culture.
  • Energy Generation: Investments in solar panels and smart energy systems promote renewable energy adoption, aligning with our carbon-neutral goals. Our Road Transport Management System (RTMS) ensures efficient logistics, supporting sustainability efforts.

In addition to the 2024 Environment Award, we proudly acknowledged the PwC Sustainability Awards received in September 2023. These accolades recognize our dedication to sustainability, innovation, and continuous improvement—from promoting a low-carbon economy to enhancing resource efficiency and reducing waste.

Together, we aim to make a positive impact on the planet while setting industry standards for sustainable logistics.
