Consignment-specific CO₂ accounting, transparent reporting and flexibly verifiable emissions reductions via Book & Claim solutions.
An overview of our environmental priorities
We are systematically advancing our environmental and climate protection efforts in three key areas.
Emissions management
Resource management
Optimised use of fuel and materials, as well as maintenance-based extension of service life
Technologies and Innovations
Modern propulsion technologies, alternative fuels and intelligent fleet telematics.
Environment
Reducing our negative impact
Given that climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing society and businesses, we are committed to making a positive contribution to the sustainable transformation of our industry.
To this end, we are constantly developing innovative solutions to minimise the impact of our business activities on the climate and the environment and to disclose our emissions.
Our SDGs under the UN Global Compact. They provide the framework for our environmental work.

Resource management
Efficient resource management forms the basis for responsible energy use and a vehicle fleet that remains high-performing in the long term.
Fuel consumption
- Tyres with reduced rolling resistance to lower fuel consumption
- Training courses to promote an efficient and environmentally conscious driving style
- Monitoring of driving behaviour using an efficiency metric derived from telematics data
- A bonus scheme to encourage a driving style that minimises fuel consumption and tyre wear
Fleet lifecycle & maintenance
- Time- and mileage-based maintenance intervals exceeding the manufacturer’s specifications to reduce wear, breakdowns and faults
- Extension of vehicle service life through systematic reconditioning and repair in line with the principles of the circular economy
- Sustainable use of chassis and semi-trailers through repair rather than premature replacement
Technologies and innovations
Innovative technologies support the ongoing transformation of our fleet towards climate-friendly transport services.
Battery-electric lorries
- Zero-emission transport operations (tank-to-wheel)
- Regional journeys of up to approx. 250 km
- Our own charging infrastructure with certified green electricity
HVO100
- Climate-friendly alternative for routes where electric lorries cannot be used
- Produced from biogenic waste materials without the use of food crops
- Certified to recognised sustainability standards: ISCC, REDcert
- Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of up to 85%
From real-world experience
Pink is the better green!
With our Volvo FH Electric, we’re demonstrating how sustainable refrigerated transport is already possible.
Sustainable reefer transport
Together with Kopf & Lübben, we are setting new standards for sustainable reefer transport.
Here are a few examples of how we’re already putting sustainability into practice in our transport operations.
Further sustainability topics
On our sustainability page, you’ll find an overview of our three key focus areas: environment, social responsibility and corporate governance.
