Reduction of CO₂ emissions in all areas

As a family-owned logistics service provider, we are fully aware of our responsibility for a sustainable supply chain. For years, we have regularly reviewed all processes within our corporate group to identify and implement further opportunities to reduce our carbon footprint.

Sustainability

As a company with deep roots in freight forwarding, transport remains one of our core competencies. In addition to more than 300 trucks dispatched daily, we also offer our customers sea and air freight solutions. For each shipment, we carefully select the most suitable mode of transport and consistently apply optimized route planning to avoid unnecessary empty mileage and shorten transit times. In this way, we actively contribute to the decarbonization of the transport and logistics industry.

Our responsibility does not stop there. We recognize the importance of a holistic sustainability strategy and implement measures such as energy-efficient lighting in our offices and warehouses. In addition, we provide regular training for our employees to encourage and promote environmentally conscious behavior.

“We Do More” also applies to sustainability

True to our guiding principle “We Do More,” we go beyond what is legally required. We are continuously working on innovative solutions to further reduce our CO₂ emissions and are fully aware of our role as a responsible example for a sustainable future.
