Sustainability

Sustainable supply chains and logistics solutions

Driven by corporate philanthropy, we’re committed to achieving business sustainability and acting responsibly vis-à-vis both people and the environment. We make our supply chains and logistics solutions sustainable with the goal of contributing to a liveable planet.

At GRIESHABER, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword – it’s a fundamental attitude that is anchored in every part of our company. We’re therefore committed to integrating social and ecological considerations into all our activities, and to continually optimising our approach to corporate responsibility.

For people

People are at the heart of everything we do. Shining examples of our “We are GRIESHABER” corporate message, our employees make their own personal contributions to the sustainable development of our company. As an employer – and via our foundations – we’re committed to creating a community in which the individuality of each and every person is both valued and respected. We believe health, education, development and cooperation are essential building blocks for a strong society. True to our corporate culture, we attach great importance to validating our employees and optimising their potential. Among other things, we offer our employees targeted training and personal development programmes. Our commitment also includes the funding of health and education programmes that help young people shape their own lives and participate in their communities.

For the planet

Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in every aspect of our supply chains and logistics solutions. By acting with foresight and deploying sustainable equipment, we’re able to minimise our ecological footprint. We conserve resources during every phase of our projects, from planning to packaging, transport and storage. In addition, we undergo an annual energy and environmental audit to ensure that our measures – including those aimed at reducing CO2 emissions and conserving natural resources – remain effective. By implementing innovative technologies and continually optimising our processes, we’re able to play a sustainable role in helping protect the planet.

For the economy

At GRIESHABER Logistik, we engage in responsible and sustainable decision-making to ensure the growth and long-term success of our company. Thinking and acting ahead not only guarantees our future viability, but also allows us to offer high-quality services to our partners and customers. We continuously develop innovative and sustainable logistics solutions to meet the demands of an ever-changing world. We insist on pursuing sustainable business practices, which helps us make a positive impact on both the environment and society as a whole.

We walk the path together

We don’t have to, we want to. And we know that we can only act sustainably if we join forces – in particular, with people on-site – to launch our many initiatives. We therefore walk the path together, integrating sustainability into our corporate culture in accordance with our “We are GRIESHABER” guiding principle.

Employees are encouraged to proactively share their ideas. Resources (such as time and budgets) are made available for new projects and results are presented in open spaces. This joint endeavour brings us closer and closer to achieving our goal of acting sustainably for people, the planet and the economy.
