We shape the sustainable logistics of the future!

WE ESTABLISH SUSTAINABILITY AS A BASIS FOR OUR ACTIVITIES –
ECOLOGICAL, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC

A sustainable, resource-saving way of conducting business is a fundamental part of our corporate strategy. Services in outstanding quality, a consistent willingness to innovate and responsibility toward the environment and our employees - we believe these are essential for future-oriented, successful growth.

Sustainability? Logistical!

We believe genuine sustainability can only be achieved through an innovative, multilevel approach. That is why we balance the interests of business performance, social commitment and responsibility for the environment. It is how we create common added value, not only for us and our customers, but also for society and the environment.

Every year (since 2012), we publish a Sustainability Report for all stakeholders who want to know how we measure our sustainability performance. Read more in our current Sustainability report.

Our mission

We act on our ecological, social and economic responsibility. That simultaneously creates future-proof solutions that benefit our customers and employees.

SUSTAINABLE MOVEMENT, RESPONSIBLE ACTION.

OUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY

Since 2022, BLG LOGISTICS has been committed to the UN Global Compact corporate responsibility initiative and its principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption.

In 2015, the United Nations resolved the Agenda 2030 program. It defines 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which recognize that development must balance social, economic and environmental sustainability. The SDGs shape the sustainability debate on national and international levels. As global goals, they create a common language and a compass for the challenges of the 21st century.

BLG LOGISTICS supports the Sustainable Development Goals. In doing so, we have identified nine strategic goals that are closely connected to our business activities and therefore particularly reflect our responsibility for more sustainability. These are:
    •    Good health and well-being
    •    Quality education
    •    Gender equality
    •    Affordable and clean energy
    •    Decent work and economic growth
    •    Industry, innovation and infrastructure
    •    Responsible consumption and production
    •    Climate action
    •    Peace, justice and strong institutions
In these areas, we are committed to achieving measurable improvements for the sustainable development of our company, society and the environment. In our Sustainability Report, you can find out more about our approaches and actions that will help us achieve the SDGs.

The sustainable management of resources and the protection of our environment are core values for our company. We have set ourselves an ambitious goal for climate protection: balance sheet climate neutrality for BLG LOGISTICS by 2030.

Our MISSION CLIMATE defines our goal to be a climate-neutral company by 2030. This means that our business activities will not increase the quantity of climate-damaging gases in the atmosphere on a global level. Our activities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions have been scientifically validated according to the requirements of the SBTi. This confirms that they contribute to climate protection. We will drastically reduce emissions within our company in absolute terms by 30 percent, and outside the company by 15 percent.

As a logistics company, we have a responsibility to protect the environment and natural resources. Key factors here are our energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Our company-wide energy management ranges from optimizing heating control, through installing efficient LED lighting to using AI in route planning to prevent kilometers traveled without loads.
