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

BLG LOGISTICS will reduce greenhouse gas emissions in absolute terms and also become a climate-neutral company by 2030.

Social

Despite all digitalization efforts, people remain the most important resource in our logistical processes.

Economic

Our goal is to position BLG LOGISTICS securely for the future and to ensure successful economic continuity in a changing environment.

Sustainability Report

Since 2012, sustainability reporting has been a fixed component of BLG LOGISTICS' annual business reporting.

Since the report for the 2017 business year, we have been preparing it in accordance with the standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI SRS): Option Core.

For the second time, you will also find reporting in accordance with the CSR Directive Implementation Act (RUG) as a separate non-financial Group Report (NFB) in our Sustainability Report.

Mission Climate – our path to net zero emissions

We are on a shared mission to protect our climate. Our target is to make BLG LOGISTICS a climate-neutral company by 2030. What this means is that in global terms, our business operations do not increase the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. To achieve this target, we will reduce our own emissions significantly by 30 percent (Scope 1+2), and we will cut those caused outside the company through our business operations by 15 percent (Scope 3).

CO₂ target reached ahead of schedule!

We're proud that we've reached, and even slightly exceeded, our own CO2 target two years ahead of schedule. 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.

BLG tested efficient high-mast lighting

In the research project "Comparative study and pilot application of LEP and LED lighting in ports in the metropolitan region", BLG LOGISTICS was able to create a suitable test environment with the high masts in the Port of Neustadt, Bremen. The project was supported by the Metropolregion Nordwest and ended with the joint network meeting on 13.11.2018 in Bremerhaven.

BLG trainees achieve first place in the Energy Scout Competition

Four BLG trainees, who were recently trained to become so-called energy scouts, were able to clinch a great stage victory. With their compressed air optimization in the high-bay warehouse in Bremen they achieved first place in the competition of the Bremen/Bremerhaven Chamber of Commerce. Now it's off to Berlin for the finale and the best tribute of all participating companies from Germany.
