We explicitly consider ecological and social aspects in all new buildings, replacements and extensions. For environmentally friendly equipment, we invest on a broad scale in modern, environmentally friendly techniques. The use of rainwater, photovoltaics, recyclable building materials, heat pumps as well as efficient lighting technology and thermally insulated buildings play an important role. In almost all of our locations we use green electricity.

We are gradually converting our entire vehicle fleet to vehicles that are zero-emission (e.g. electric or hydrogen vehicles) and low-emission (e.g. Bio-CNG, Bio-LNG, HVO100 vehicles) during operation compared to conventional models – this applies both to our transport partners’ fleet as well as to our own company car fleet.

Moreover, we establish the necessary charging infrastructure in our depots for the continuous transition towards electric mobility.

In order to optimize and shorten transport processes in city logistics, we are setting up urban micro-depots. From here, vehicles that are zero-emission during operation compared to conventional models (e. g. electic vehicles, cargo bikes) are being used for delivery tours. This saves transport routes, reduces noise and thus protects people and the environment.

To improve operating processes and transport routes, we count on state-of-the-art IT-assisted planning instruments. This is how we manage to systematically minimize our transport routes and thus to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
