At Paula Rosa Manhattan, sustainability is more than a promise, it’s a practice embedded in every part of our operations. One of the most transformative steps we’ve taken is the adoption of Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) across our distribution fleet, helping us deliver on our environmental commitments while supporting the construction industry’s drive toward greener projects.

What is HVO and Why It Matters for Construction

HVO is a renewable diesel alternative produced from responsibly sourced vegetable oils and waste fats. Unlike traditional fossil fuels, HVO offers:

• Up to 90% lower lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional diesel.
• Drop-in compatibility with existing diesel engines, no costly modifications required.
• Reliable performance, even in demanding construction environments.

Our HVO is sourced responsibly from suppliers within the UK and EU, ensuring sustainability and traceability throughout the supply chain.

Fleet Powered by HOV: 95%+ Utilisation

We’re proud to report that over 95% of the fuel used by our distribution fleet is HVO. This means your kitchen deliveries arrive with a significantly reduced carbon footprint, supporting your own sustainability goals and compliance with industry standards like BREEAM and LEED.

The Impact: 70% Reduction in Fossil C0₂e Emissions

By switching to HVO, Paula Rosa Manhattan has achieved a massive 70% reduction in fossil CO₂e emissions across our operations. This milestone demonstrates our commitment to helping the construction sector meet its Net Zero targets.

Smart Tank Technology for Smarter Sustainability

To ensure uninterrupted fuel availability and precise monitoring, we’ve installed a smart tank system. This technology allows us to:

• Track fuel usage in real time.
• Optimise stock levels.
• Guarantee that our fleet remains powered by HVO whenever possible.

What This Means for Our Construction Partners

• Lower embodied carbon in your supply chain.
• Enhanced compliance with sustainability frameworks.
• Confidence in responsible sourcing for every delivery.
