GLS starts rolling out an international brand campaign. After last year’s brand refresh, GLS aims to set the next step in building its brand. With the campaign, GLS demonstrates one of its most important characteristics: its personal approach towards parcel delivery.

Its new International ShopDeliveryService for shipments to 15 countries across Europe, with more serviced nations to follow. A European-wide service enabling customers to have their international parcels delivered to a pick-up location of their choice. GLS’ International ShopDeliveryService gives receivers the flexibility to pick up their order when it is most convenient and at a location that best suits their personal wishes.

GLS has signed the acquisition of French tech logistics company Tousfacteurs. The Paris-based last-mile delivery start-up, founded in 2015, specialises in developing digital and sustainable solutions to support its e-commerce offering. The acquisition of Tousfacteurs will enable GLS to further optimise the last mile customer experience and to strengthen its sustainable delivery services.

GLS Group’s environmental impact score of 80/100, particularly, puts the company among the 7% top-rated companies in the sector. This stand-out environmental score is the result of the company’s long-term environmental sustainability strategy.

The evolving success of the strategy is reflected in the fact that last year’s Silver rating from EcoVadis has been raised to Gold this year.

At GLS, we enjoy celebrating International Women’s Day because we have some incredible women working at every level of our broad international network. This year, we’ve decided to talk with three of the women who keep our business moving: German Region Manager Melanie Menkhaus, Portuguese Website & Communication Strategy Manager Marta Calvinho and Slovakian Depot Manager Zuzana Magulová.

General Logistics Systems (GLS), a leading parcel service provider, has agreed to acquire a Canadian logistics company Mid-Nite Sun Transportation Ltd that operates as Rosenau Transport. Rosenau Transport is one of the largest independent freight carriers in Western Canada and has a complementary service area to GLS’s existing Canadian business.

GLS Netherlands has introduced climate-neutral shipping – for all parcels sent within the Netherlands and abroad. Beyond its measures to avoid and reduce CO2 emissions, the company focuses on full compensation through VCS or Gold Standard projects. After GLS Germany, GLS Netherlands is the second national company within the international GLS Group to transport all its parcels in a climate-neutral way.

GLS has revealed its updated brand identity. The brand refresh builds upon what has made GLS successful in the fast-changing world of parcel services and supports the company’s growth ambitions. At its core, GLS makes every parcel delivery personal with its seamless solutions. The refreshed brand identity reflects the company’s undertaking with a fresh, dynamic and digital-friendly look.

The quality and environmental management system of the GLS Group has been recertified in Europe for another three years – in accordance with ISO 9001 and 14001. GDP certification has also been confirmed in five countries of the international parcel service provider, and a new GDP seal has been added for Spain.
