Our Approach to Environmental Protection

At GLS, we care about our effect on the world around us. Every parcel and its related logistics and transport processes have an impact on natural resources and cause carbon emissions. We want to continue our mission of connecting people around the world while reducing our impact on the environment. Therefore, climate and environmental protection are central components of our sustainability activities.

We launched our group-wide environmental strategy, Climate Protect, to implement a series of initiatives to progressively reduce carbon emissions and ensure that knowledge and efforts are shared and executed across our entire international network.
