The environment is an essential part of our sustainability work. Our ambition is to be in the forefront of the logistics industry; a competent partner who provides environmentally smart alternatives to traditional logistics solutions. Our environmental responsibility includes caring for the environment across all levels of our organisation – both internally and externally.
We believe in the importance of environmental protection and improvement for the long term. Over the years, we have taken various actions to minimise the environmental impact of our operations. Here are some examples of what we do:
In the Greencarrier Group, we have established what we call Green Office. It means that in everything we do, we “think green” to reduce the environmental footprint in our office. We follow certain guidelines to lower the energy consumption and minimise the use of paper. We prioritise e-invoicing, phone and video conferencing and we recycle as much as we possibly can. We choose suppliers with sustainable products and donate what we don’t need to charity organisations.
Working in the Greencarrier Group means complying with laws, ordinances, regulations and other requirements – as a minimum. We actually want to go further than what the legislation requires from us. And it also includes our customers and suppliers. We want to inspire them to take an even larger responsibility for the environment, and moreover, we act as their environment competence partner. Together with our customers and suppliers, we work to find new activities that support environmentally smart transport solutions.
We have implemented a unique Green Solutions concept focusing on smart and sustainable transport solutions. The concept involves the Greencarrier Group as environmental competence partner operating in a sustainable way and providing transport solutions that comply with the toughest environmental requirements, but without having to compromise with lead times, efficiency, economy or technology. We want to increase the awareness of carbon efficiency in the shipping industry. It is a concept under constant development to further meet our customers’ needs for smart and sustainable transport solutions that reduce emissions and improve fuel economy.
We want to stimulate each employee in the Greencarrier Group to increase our knowledge about environmental issues and raise awareness of the environmental aspects of our duties. Therefore, we provide an environmental training programme for all our staff. In order to spread knowledge about our environmental work, we continuously communicate our activities both internally and externally, through our Knowledge Blog for example. One of our ambitions is also to increase our efforts to improve our environmental impact by finding more projects to support in this field. Our Greencarrier Spirit Fund is one way of doing that.
Our transportation suppliers are acquired through a procurement process consisting of an initial screening of the potential supplier. In this process, the supplier answers a questionnaire sent out by us containing questions about how the supplier works and complies with different quality and environmental issues. Depending on the answers provided, the supplier will receive a label for its quality and environmental work.
