Sustained economic success is crucial to the continued existence of our company and at the same time it determines our scope to act in an environmentally and socially sustainable manner. That is because economic independence gives us the leeway to make major investments in climate protection measures, convert temporary employment contracts into permanent ones or provide financial support for social projects.

Digital transformation is an important strategic priority for us as it enables us to remain fit for the future for our customers, take an agile approach to changes and further strengthen our market position. We apply digitalization strategies to optimize our processes and focus on new technologies such as artificial intelligence, the IoT (net-working of machines) and driverless transport systems. This enables us to enhance our efficiency as well as create new innovative space for climate-friendly solutions that will allow us to actively shape the logistics of tomorrow.

Furthermore, only if we are economically robust can we offer our employees secure jobs, good pay and room to grow. We want to create sustainable value for our employees as well as our other stakeholders. For us, this is not only part of the responsibility we bear as a company, but also our key driving force.

Our compliance system provides the framework for this and increasingly involves the entire supply chain. This encompasses strict adherence to regulations and laws as well as our own ethical principles.
