Case Study – Logistics
Case Study

09 Dec 2025
A well-known logistics provider, operating across multiple UK sites and distribution centres, wanted to guarantee that their power was genuinely renewable and traceable.
However, there was no way to be certain that their supplier wasn’t mixing fossil energy with clean certification.
This lack of transparency left the business unable to verify its true environmental impact or confidently report progress against sustainability goals.
Outcome of Partnership
Secured 100% traceable renewable energy — Eliminated any uncertainty over the source and environmental integrity of their supply.
Price stability — Delivered consistent, predictable energy costs across all sites and distribution centres, improving budgeting and long-term financial planning.
Operational excellence — Enabled seamless information flow and rapid issue resolution across a national network of sites, reducing downtime and strengthening energy management efficiency.
Results
- £250,000 in annual energy cost savings with UrbanChain, alongside significant operational improvements.
- 3,900T CO2 saved versus grid supply — equivalent to powering over 520 homes for a year.
Testimonial
“Since picking up the UrbanChain platform, we have been in a much better place! Overall, a very positive experience, particularly in relation to information flow and resolution speed.”
