Green couriers

Share

This is a very interesting initiative. Well, it doesn't concern us because we don't send anything urgent ;) but you never know if any bloggers from Saint-Etienne and Lyon or big companies are passing by (stop dreaming Ludivine, you're not influential), I'm giving them the tip.

So, if you are a big company or an individual with urgent packages to send, and you are in Lyon and/or Saint-Etienne, then you are concerned... well Saint-Chamond is a no-go...

As usual, you'd call courier companies that deliver very quickly by scooter, but in terms of ecological footprint, it's pretty much zero. So there's an alternative, and since it's local, we can't ignore it.

In short, it's the company Les coursiers Verts (I suppose there are two meanings to "Verts" - green and sustainable).
So they deliver everything by bike (you need courage for that), but they don't just rely on their small footprint to have a clear conscience... They are already members of 1% for the planet (meaning they donate 1% of their turnover to an association working for environmental protection). Furthermore, they are dressed entirely in Patagonia, with procurement channels mainly from FSC and the AB Label, and a second life given to their equipment...

Well, the extra touch would have been if they wore Peau-Ethique socks (of course, we don't just make socks, right?)
