Hydrogen Vehicle Systems (HVS) has been awarded the Gold Medal by Greenly, a digital carbon footprint analysis company. This recognition places HVS in the top 5% of companies globally for climate action and environmental responsibility, according to Greenly’s evaluation.
The award is based on Greenly’s assessment of greenhouse gas emissions, climate strategy, and environmental initiatives across three areas: direct emissions, indirect emissions from energy use, and indirect emissions throughout the value chain.
Jawad Khursheed, Chief Executive Officer of HVS, stated: “The Gold Medal is a testament to the dedication, hard work, and innovative spirit of the entire HVS team. It underscores our belief that you cannot control what you don’t measure—carbon accounting is a crucial part of our sustainability strategy.”
HVS, a company focused on developing sustainable transport technology solutions, has made progress in the past year, including the first trailer pull of their hydrogen fuel cell truck on a test track. The company has also expanded its sustainability efforts across its operations.
Kathryn Charman, Head of Supply Chain and Sustainability at HVS, commented: “Carbon accounting has provided us with the data and insights needed to drive our decarbonisation strategy. Winning the Gold Medal is an incredible achievement, and I’m immensely proud of our team’s commitment to sustainability.”
Alexis Normand, CEO of Greenly, added: “We congratulate HVS for their successful efforts to decarbonise the transport industry. As demonstrated by their exemplary approach, sustainability is not a one-time operation, but a series of small, cumulative actions building towards a greener future.”
HVS, founded in 2017, aims to produce zero-emission heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) using Hydrogen electric technology. The company states its goal is to provide efficient and low-emission solutions for the commercial vehicle industry.
Greenly, which provided the award, works with over 2,000 companies to measure and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Their platform is designed to be compliant with the GHG Protocol and CDP, and has been recognized by ADEME for its technical expertise and data transparency.
