Supporting sustainable initiatives and practices

As a supply chain logistics company, demonstrating credible environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance is central to our strategy. We are committed to developing and implementing sustainable supply chain logistics solutions with the aim of being recognised by all our stakeholders.

We aim to reduce our Scope 1.2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 45% by 2030 compared to 2022 and to achieve net zero emissions for all services by 2050. We are also committed to respecting the diversity of our entire workforce of around 25,000 people and to providing equal opportunities.

The logistics sector is growing globally, driven by rising average incomes and the associated increase in consumer spending. This growth is also supported by the rapid development and expansion of online markets for goods. However, greenhouse gas emissions from the transport of goods and within the value chain are also increasing.

How we address the challenges and opportunities of climate change is at the core of our business strategy, along with other key environmental and social issues. We transparently disclose our ESG performance to date and demonstrate our commitment to providing sustainable supply chain logistics services. As ESG awareness and regulation increases, we will continue to hold ourselves accountable for our performance, respond proactively and embed resilience and sustainability in everything we do.

  • Materiality Scan

  • Understanding the material ESG impacts of our business is essential to minimising the environmental and social impacts of our operations. At the same time, we aim to maximise the positive impacts of our business. The materiality scan involves interviews with our senior management, employees and customers by external experts and is used to identify material issues for disclosure. The global materiality assessment and identification process will be published around March 2025.

Global Sustainability Report 

In September 2024, we published our Sustainability Report 2024. This is an important step towards transparently sharing our commitments and achievements towards a sustainable future.

The report details our activities and achievements in the areas of environmental protection, social engagement and governance. In particular, it focuses on a wide range of initiatives, such as reducing our carbon footprint, increasing our use of renewable energy, developing employee engagement and strengthening corporate governance.

The report also provides a roadmap for sustainable growth by outlining future goals and plans. We hope that it will help stakeholders to understand the Group's vision and commitment to both social and business growth.

Path to sustainable logistics

To achieve sustainability, we need to work together across national and regional boundaries. We believe that by creating an environmentally responsible supply chain, we can make steady progress towards sustainable growth, one step at a time.

Continuous quality improvement is the cornerstone of our success, enabling us to consistently deliver the quality of service that complies with international standards and regulations.
