Our areas of sustainability

We focus our activities on three strategic areas.

Environment

Reducing our negative impact.

Social

A safe working environment and social engagement.

Corporate Governance

Fair business practices and responsibility in the supply chain.

Our understanding of sustainability.

Sustainability has always been a key issue for us. Rather than reducing the concept to an ecological perspective, we take a holistic approach, aligning our business activities with our moral values and principles, and thus acting responsibly for future generations.

As a third-generation family-run medium-sized business, we live by our values. We align our business activities with sustainability to ensure long-term stability for our company, our employees and our society. For only those who commit to their own principles and combine sustainable action with their corporate culture can achieve economic, environmental and social progress.

The colour pink has defined our corporate identity for decades. It has always symbolised unparalleled quality in the services we offer. With our mission statement “Pink is the better green”, we also demonstrate to our stakeholders how we live out quality in a sustainable way and what measures we are taking to adapt it to current and future requirements.

For us, sustainability means far more than a package of measures for environmental improvements. It means aligning our economic activities with our environmental and social values. In this way, we create a sustainable, holistic improvement of our environment that is also economically viable. This is what the colour pink stands for – this is what our mission statement “Pink is the better green” stands for. 

Our SDGs under the UN Global Compact

We align our environmental, social and governance issues with selected Sustainable Development Goals that match our specific challenges and over which we have the greatest influence.

[Translate to English:] Häufige Fragen zur Nachhaltigkeit

Wie versteht GLOMB den Begriff Nachhaltigkeit?

[Translate to English:] Nachhaltigkeit bedeutet für uns, ökonomische, ökologische und soziale Verantwortung miteinander zu verbinden. Wir wollen wirtschaftlich erfolgreich sein und gleichzeitig Ressourcen schonen, Mitarbeitende langfristig entwickeln und verantwortungsvoll handeln. Dieser ganzheitliche Ansatz prägt unser tägliches unternehmerisches Handeln.

Welche Maßnahmen ergreift GLOMB zur Reduzierung von Emissionen?

[Translate to English:] Wir setzen auf moderne EURO 6-Fahrzeuge, alternative Kraftstoffe wie HVO und batterieelektrische Lkw im geeigneten Einsatzgebiet. Ergänzend analysieren wir Fahrverhalten und Verbräuche und schulen Fahrer in Eco-Fahrweise. So senken wir Kraftstoffverbrauch und Treibhausgasemissionen Schritt für Schritt.

Welche Bedeutung hat die Unternehmensfarbe Pink im Nachhaltigkeitskontext?

[Translate to English:] Pink steht bei GLOMB symbolisch für Qualität und Wiedererkennung. Wir verbinden diese Farbe mit dem Anspruch, nachhaltige Qualität zu liefern, also wirtschaftlichen Erfolg mit ökologischer und sozialer Verantwortung zu verknüpfen. Die Idee dahinter ist, dass eine starke Marke auch eine klare Haltung zu nachhaltigem Handeln zeigt.
