Climat Protect

As a major player in logistics, the GLS Group is aware of its responsibilities towards people, the environment and society.

The aim is to offer our customers the best quality in terms of logistics while providing our employees with a stable job in a solid company.

For GLS, these two factors go hand in hand. By achieving these goals, GLS also contributes to the mobility and reliable availability of goods, an indispensable link in the economy, while at the same time protecting the environment for future generations.
