We know that sustainable logistics is about more than just moving goods — it’s about how we move them. As part of our ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) strategy, we are committed to reducing the environmental impact of transport and offering our customers greener, smarter alternatives.

 

Our green transport approach

We go beyond traditional road transport by designing solutions that combine efficiency, sustainability, and innovation. By analyzing each shipment, we identify the most environmentally friendly option — often by shifting transport from road to greener modes.

Here’s how we make it happen:

Sea freight

Maritime transport emits significantly less CO₂e per unit than road freight , particularly over long distances. We partner with carriers and optimize routes to ensure maximum energy efficiency and minimal emissions.

Rail freight

Rail is one of the cleanest options for long-haul and bulk shipments. With significantly lower emissions compared to trucks, rail helps reduce the carbon footprint across supply chains.

Intermodal solutions

We combine different modes of transport — like road, rail, and sea — to get the best of each world. Intermodal solutions optimize efficiency and cut emissions, without compromising on speed or reliability.

Consolidation & Cross-docking

By consolidating shipments and using cross-docking, we reduce the number of individual trips. Fewer trucks on the road means lower fuel consumption, fewer emissions, and a smarter use of resources.

Sustainable road transport

When road transport is necessary, we make sure it’s as green as possible:

  • Modern, fuel-efficient fleet

  • Use of alternative fuels and electric vehicles

  • Eco-driving training for drivers

  • Smart route planning to reduce empty runs and mileage

 

Transparent impact: Road freight vs. Greener transport?

We believe in transparency. That’s why we provide clear calculations to help our customers understand the environmental impact of different transport options — from traditional road transport to greener alternatives.

We assess:

  • CO₂e emissions

  • Energy consumption per unit

  • Other environmental factors like air and noise pollution

For example:

  • Sea Freight vs. Road
    Shipping goods by sea freight instead of road can significantly reduce CO₂e emissions, especially on long-distance routes.

  • Rail vs. Road
    Shifting from road to rail transport is a more climate-friendly option, particularly for long-haul shipments.

  • Consolidation Services
    Using our consolidation services helps reduce the number of trucks on the road, lowering overall fuel consumption and emissions.

  • Biogas
    Choosing electric or biogas-powered trucks where available can significantly reduce local emissions and contribute to cleaner air in urban areas.

 

Partnering for a greener future

Sustainability is a shared journey. We work closely with our carriers, technology providers, and customers to keep improving our green transport solutions. Together, we can create supply chains that are not only efficient but also better for the planet.
