Sustainability

The successful development of a company is measured not only by business ratios. BLG LOGISTICS blends economic performance with social responsibility and commitment to the environment.

Our central sustainability team is responsible for the annual sustainability reports of BLG LOGISTICS and especially for coordinating our commitment to climate protection.

Ecological

Six years ago, BLG LOGISTICS set itself an ambitious climate protection goal. In business year 2018, we came significantly closer to achieving it. But read about it yourself...

Social

Despite advances in digitalization, humans remain the most important resources in our logistics processes.

Economic

Our goal is to make BLG LOGISTICS ready for a great future and to ensure our successful business development in a changing world.

Sustainability Report

Our Sustainability Report has been an integral part of our annual reporting since 2012. And since our report for business year 2017, we've been issuing it in compliance with Global Reporting Initiative standards (GRI SRS): Core option.

Now, for the second time, you can also find reporting according to the CSR Guideline Implementation Act as a separate Non-Financial Group Report within our Sustainability Report.

In 2012, the Managing Board of BLG LOGISTICS committed the company to reducing its CO2 emissions by 20 percent by 2020, using 2011 as the base year. We achieved an overall reduction in 2018 of 21.5 percent compared to 2011.
