For us, acting sustainably means striking a balance between economic performance, social commitment and responsibility for the environment. Our goal is to incorporate each of these three perspectives into our decisions and to anchor this form of holistic consideration deeply within our processes and throughout the company. In this way, we can develop a comprehensive understanding of the interrelationships in order to overcome challenges and make the best possible use of opportunities – not only for us as a company, but also in terms of the sustainable logistics of tomorrow.
Simply put: we want to act responsibly in every respect. This aspiration forms the basis of what we do. We have assigned eleven fields of action to the three ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL and ECONOMIC pillars. They illustrate how our business impacts the environment and society and, conversely, how it is shaped by them. Here we set ourselves clear goals, strive for change and want to make an active contribution to progress.
The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with the overarching goal of global sustainable development, are also used as a guideline. We also want to contribute to their achievement and focus on nine selected SDGs that are particularly closely linked to our business.
