00:04.921 --> 00:07.966
My son Theodore, he's four.
He’s turning five.

00:09.134 --> 00:10.510
Him being a kid,
he loves trucks.

00:10.510 --> 00:12.846
So I just bring up
pictures of trucks and say

00:12.846 --> 00:16.141
dad drives this, 
he delivers packages

00:16.141 --> 00:18.351
It’s more probably that he likes
that I drive a big truck

00:18.351 --> 00:19.769
but I'll take whatever 
I can get. [laughs]

00:20.603 --> 00:22.480
I just want my son to see that

00:22.480 --> 00:24.983
working for a big corporation
is a good thing.

00:26.359 --> 00:29.237
You find a company that cares
about the environment.

00:29.237 --> 00:31.531
They want to innovate.

00:31.531 --> 00:34.868
They want to be the prime
example of what it is

00:34.868 --> 00:37.245
to be a corporation in Canada.

00:51.176 --> 00:52.594
A couple of years ago,

00:52.594 --> 00:55.638
we decided that wanted to be
the greenest courier in Canada

00:56.056 --> 00:58.349
we knew that
in order to achieve that goal

00:58.349 --> 01:01.394
our last mile delivery
vehicles had to be a priority

01:01.394 --> 01:02.062
for Purolator.

01:04.105 --> 01:05.148
We knew we were going to need

01:05.148 --> 01:08.151
a partner to come in
and help us get there

01:09.110 --> 01:12.363
Deloitte had a lot of
experience with other fleets.

01:12.363 --> 01:15.366
We wanted to take advantage
of that expertise

01:15.700 --> 01:17.285
our Deloitte team was staffed

01:17.285 --> 01:19.245
across our consulting
practice, people

01:19.245 --> 01:21.998
with the transportation
and logistics knowledge,

01:21.998 --> 01:24.793
as well as our sustainability
and climate teams.

01:24.793 --> 01:26.044
And our tax team

01:26.044 --> 01:28.046
and their ability
to go after the incentives.

01:28.338 --> 01:31.216
[Elizabeth] We worked together really
closely from the very beginning

01:31.216 --> 01:33.760
[Dave] We were really happy
with these vehicles.

01:33.760 --> 01:37.305
[Cindy] It's very challenging
when things are constantly shifting.

01:37.305 --> 01:40.809
Whether that’s batteries and
technology that’s out there

01:40.809 --> 01:42.811
or if it's the regulatory
landscape.

01:42.811 --> 01:44.646
[Dave] Basically, they ran 
all the pipes up.

01:44.646 --> 01:47.565
[Cindy] Working with Deloitte
was critical to help us move

01:47.565 --> 01:49.943
along at the pace
we needed to go.

01:49.943 --> 01:51.736
[Adrian] Within three 
months we already had

01:51.736 --> 01:53.780
our first charger
getting installed.

01:53.780 --> 01:55.490
Purolator decided
that they're going to do it

01:55.490 --> 01:57.242
and they showed up.

01:57.242 --> 01:58.576
They showed up right away.

01:58.576 --> 02:00.662
[Cindy] We're all very 
passionate about what

02:00.662 --> 02:02.622
we're trying to achieve here

02:02.622 --> 02:05.125
to be able to work 
hard every day

02:05.125 --> 02:08.211
and actually see the fruit
of your labour come to life

02:08.211 --> 02:10.171
that's a very exciting 
thing for me,

02:15.385 --> 02:17.428
[Elizabeth] We have 
really empowered people

02:17.428 --> 02:19.389
who feel like they 
 can do work every day

02:19.389 --> 02:22.433
that they can make an impact
and that gives them

02:22.433 --> 02:24.519
joy and purpose
in what they're doing.

02:25.228 --> 02:28.690
[Dave] When we first offered 
training for the electric vehicles

02:28.690 --> 02:31.317
90% of our drivers signed up
and wanted to take part

02:32.277 --> 02:34.529
The drivers are proud to 
drive these vehicles.

02:34.529 --> 02:37.073
[Tammy] When I’m doing 
the on road training

02:37.073 --> 02:39.409
they're amazed at how quiet

02:39.409 --> 02:41.536
the inside of the workspace is.

02:41.536 --> 02:43.288
Because that’s their office.

02:43.288 --> 02:45.915
They're also amazed
at the performance,

02:45.915 --> 02:47.709
how it behaves
a little differently

02:47.709 --> 02:49.752
than a regular 
vehicle would.

02:49.961 --> 02:53.548
The EV driving experience
is definitely more fun.

02:53.548 --> 02:54.591
Pedestrians, when they 
come up to me

02:54.591 --> 02:56.009
they see the 
electric vehicles

02:56.009 --> 02:59.053
They're really happy 
to see that Purolator wants

02:59.053 --> 03:00.889
to lower their impact 
on the environment.

03:00.889 --> 03:01.848
And so am I.

03:02.432 --> 03:03.266
[Cindy] There's an opportunity

03:03.266 --> 03:06.269
here as we move into a lower
carbon economy.

03:06.561 --> 03:08.813
We've seen that
this is really a priority

03:08.813 --> 03:10.190
for our customers.

03:11.191 --> 03:12.859
If we want to be 
around in the future

03:12.859 --> 03:14.485
and we want to be successful,

03:14.485 --> 03:16.112
we need to see
the writing on the wall

03:16.112 --> 03:18.281
and we need to act
accordingly.

03:22.785 --> 03:24.537
[Adrian] The only 
way forward is to

03:24.537 --> 03:27.790
take initiatives like this.
And to be first.

03:27.790 --> 03:31.085
And Purolator is first.
And I’m happy they are.

03:31.085 --> 03:33.296
They want to be ahead
of the game and that's

03:33.296 --> 03:35.632
what's going to lead them
into the future.

03:37.342 --> 03:39.886
My son will be here 
lot longer than I am.

03:42.096 --> 03:44.182
Anything I can do
to make sure that he's

03:44.182 --> 03:46.017
having the best possible
upbringing

03:46.017 --> 03:48.269
and best possible
future, you know, I'm for.

03:50.521 --> 03:53.107
I just want him to see that
I'm part of the change

03:53.107 --> 03:55.610
and hopefully that's
how he will view his life too,
