3. Objectives

The company discloses what qualitative and/or quantitative as well as temporally defined sustainability goals have been set and operationalised and how their level of achievement is monitored.

The increasingly rapid development in the field of technology makes the environmental sustainability a dynamic task that will never be completed. We acknowledge our responsibility in acting economically and sustainably at all levels.

We have been doing this for a long time:
  • promotion of intermodal transport

  • annual reduction of average fuel consumption per truck (in l/100 km)
  • trainings on fuel-efficient driving
  • environmentally friendly lighting concepts
  • waste reduction and recycling, waste separation and proper disposal
  • procurement of environmentally friendly vehicles
  • increase employee satisfaction

The management board is responsible for achieving the strategic sustainability goals.
