ESG STRATEGY

For us, sustainability is not just about the environment. It is about the planet – and the people who live on it.

On the way to sustainable logistics*
The world needs logistics – it’s the backbone of our economy. But by emitting a significant portion of global greenhouse gas emissions, our current business model is not sustainable for our planet. To change this, we need to transform our whole industry together with our partners and customers. Most importantly, this includes the goal of carbon neutral transportation and increased resource efficiency, but it goes beyond that. We are constantly pushing towards comprehensive ESG leadership: Equal opportunities for all employees, fair partnerships with our customers and suppliers, and exemplary governance are among the principles which guide us.
