  • HOMEResponsibility Sustainability On the road

Making mobility climate-friendly

On the road

  • Sustainability
  • At the Place of Origin
  • On site
  • Tea & Cocoa
  • Social Responsibility

As a dynamic company, we move a large number of raw materials and finished products. Our employees also
regularly travel to customers, suppliers, and colleagues. We want our mobility to generate the lowest possible CO 2 emissions. For example, we rely on environmentally-conscious fleet management and CO 2 neutral parcel shipping. Modern means of communication at our sites allow our employees to have a thorough exchange information without travelling.

Clean travel

We offer our the option of charging cars on company premises or at home to employees in Hamburg who opt for an electric or hybrid vehicle. We are successively converting the vehicles of our field staff from already low CO 2 models to even more economical models. We set CO 2 emission limits for the vehicles in our administration, which are reassessed annually.

GoGreen

Our national parcel service has been 100% carbon neutral since July 2017. In July 2017, we swapped our DHL parcel shipment to GoGreen. Our shipping with TNT is already carbon neutral. In 2017, we saved 131.46 tonnes of CO 2 emissions compared to the previous year by shipping parcels with GoGreen and TNT.

Video rather than airplanes

We are increasingly conducting cross-location meetings via video conferencing to avoid unnecessary air travel. 78
video conferences already took place in 2017.
