Reduction of CO₂ emissions in all areas

As an owner-managed logistics service provider, we are aware of our responsibility for a sustainable supply chain. For years, we have been regularly reviewing all processes within our group of companies in order to exploit further opportunities for reducing our carbon footprint.

As a company with roots in freight forwarding, transport remains one of our most important core competencies. In addition to our more than 300 trucks dispatched daily, we also offer our customers sea and air freight services. We carefully select the means of transport for the desired goods and always ensure optimised route planning to avoid unnecessary empty kilometres and shorten delivery times. In this way, we are doing our part to decarbonise the transport and logistics industry.

Our responsibility does not stop there. We recognise the need for a holistic strategy and use energy-saving lighting in our administrative offices and warehouses, among other things. In addition, we regularly train our employees to encourage and motivate them to act in an environmentally conscious manner.

"We Do More" also applies to sustainability at our company.

True to our motto, "We Do More," we do more than what is required by law. We are working to further reduce our CO2 emissions in the future with innovative solutions. We are aware of our role as a role model for a sustainable future.
