Save Market Companies celebrates Earth Day by switching to renewable diesel
The Save Mart Companies (TSMC) is making a move to reduce its traffic emissions.
The company announced that, by the end of this month, it will run all transportations operations using 100% renewable drop-in diesel produced by Neste MY Renewable Diesel. The product is produced 100% from renewable raw materials, offering an easy way to lower traffic emissions and increase the proportion of renewable energy used in transport.
TSMC will be the first grocery to fully convert to Neste MY Renewable Diesel. By making the switch, TSMC is offsetting the emissions of over 5,500 cars on the road a year. (Van De Pol Petroleum is the exclusive distributor of Neste MY Renewable Diesel.)
"I am excited to have all TSMC transportations operations running on renewable diesel," expressed Bruce Christiansen, group VP of logistics & supply chain optimization, TSMC, which operates 208 grocery stores under the banners of Save Mart, Lucky, FoodMaxx, S-Mart Foods, and MaxxValue Foods. In addition to its retail operation, the company also operates Smart Refrigerated Transport. "The company understands its business activities impact the environment and by investing in Neste MY Renewable Diesel, TSMC is reducing up to 80% of its emissions, improving local air quality, and reducing our carbon footprint."
TSMC also continues to expand the number of electric vehicle charging stations.
