Almost ten years, countless kilometres, results measured day after day: the work carried out by Gruppo Maganetti to cut emissions and improve environmental, economic and social sustainability has now set out a clear path, the journey of a transport and logistics company that has rethought its business model to generate a positive impact on society and the environment, not simply to make profit.
This journey has now also become a case study in sustainable mobility, featured in the latest report from Banca Popolare di Sondrio on its Senior Preferred Green Bonds, placed on the international market.
The report outlines the structure of BPS Green Bonds, the main investment sectors, and the most significant figures for the public, supported by a series of examples to best illustrate the areas of action: among these are ourselves at Maganetti, along with Cooperativa Speranza, our partner in bioLNG production.
In our case, the milestones of this journey begin in 2016, when we started to roll out the initiatives in our ESG plan: we shifted from traditional diesel engines to LNG-powered trucks, we became a benefit corporation and then obtained the B Corp certification, and we started the project with Cooperativa Speranza to produce biomethane from agricultural and livestock waste.
Thanks to this initiative, we now use almost exclusively bioLNG for our trucks: in the last four years, in fact, our fleet has run on over 4 million kg of bioLNG produced in Italy, compared with just 460.000 kg of imported LNG — saving 2.700 tonnes of CO2eq compared with fossil methane (and even more compared with diesel, over comparable distances). To support our vehicles we have also built two dedicated filling stations: one in Gera Lario, which is also open to the public for LNG refuelling, and another in Carpiano.
