BWG Foods’ Logistics and Distribution operation has been awarded the prestigious SPAR International Sustainability Award at the SPAR Supply Chain Conference 2025, held recently in China.
The award recognises BWG’s outstanding commitment to sustainable logistics and innovation in reducing carbon emissions across its distribution operations. Since 2018, BWG Foods has implemented a wide-ranging sustainability programme focused on decarbonising its logistics network and embracing circular economy principles.
This initiative has seen the introduction of Bio-CNG trucks, HVO-fuelled vehicles, and electric trucks with ranges of up to 300 kilometres. Most recently, BWG Foods launched Ireland’s first long-range fully electric heavy goods vehicle, capable of travelling 500 kilometres on a single charge between its Dublin and Cork depots. The company also became the first in Ireland to introduce articulated electric HGVs, marking a significant milestone in the transition to low-emission freight transport.
Joanne Mellon, Logistics Director at BWG Foods, commented: "This award is a testament to the dedication and innovation of our logistics and distribution team and strategic partners. We are proud to be leading the way in sustainable transport solutions in Ireland’s FMCG sector, and we remain committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in low-carbon logistics."
The SPAR International Sustainability Award highlights BWG Foods’ pioneering role in driving environmental progress and sets a benchmark for the wider retail industry.
