Floral startup invests $850,000 for EV delivery fleet

This will reduce their carbon footprint and cater to eco-conscious customers.

Floristique, a 2017-founded startup, switched its delivery fleet to electric vehicles in a bid to cut carbon emissions and enhance customer satisfaction.

Before, the company used diesel vans, which consumed about 5,000 litres of diesel monthly.

“The transition to electric vans signifies a remarkable reduction in carbon emissions, aligning with both environmental objectives and consumer expectations,” read the statement.

To boost this initiative, Floristique also collaborated with SP Group, a pioneer in electric vehicle charging solutions and infrastructure in Singapore.

This partnership not only leverages SP Group's extensive charging network but also helps in the Singapore agenda for increasing vehicle electrification.

"I believed that we could, and should be doing more as a business. It was a good investment that has only provided benefits — both environmentally and as an added bonus of being more cost-effective," said Wendy Han, founder of Floristique.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
