**Kinnarps Transitions Freight Fleet to Sustainable HVO100 Fuel, Accelerating Climate Goals**
Kinnarps, a leading European provider of workplace solutions, is making a significant environmental commitment by transitioning its freight transport fleet to Svanen-labeled HVO100 renewable fuel supplied by Preem. This strategic initiative is designed to substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its logistics operations and, consequently, lower the climate impact for its customers, aligning with Kinnarps' overarching sustainability strategy.
Kinnarps has established ambitious climate targets, aiming to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, using 2019 as a baseline, and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Johanna Ljunggren, Corporate Sustainability Manager at Kinnarps, confirmed that the company is progressing well towards its 2030 goal, having already achieved a 46 percent reduction in emissions. The adoption of Preem Redefine HVO100 is projected to further reduce Kinnarps' transport emissions by an additional 17 percent compared to its previous renewable fuel. This is due to HVO100's capability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by over 90 percent in comparison to traditional diesel.
Daniel Granquist, Business Developer at Preem, highlighted the fuel's stringent sustainability credentials. He noted that the Svanen label serves as a guarantee that the fuel is not produced from palm oil or its derivatives. Preem Redefine HVO100 is produced at Preem's Gothenburg refinery, utilizing primarily residual products as feedstock, thereby ensuring a responsibly sourced and sustainable supply chain.
