We have a holistic approach to sustainability
From social commitment to focussed CO2-neutral shipping - as a global parcel service, we are well aware of our responsibility towards the environment and society. That is why we actively support people and environmental protection with various initiatives and campaigns.
For us, sustainability means the goal of a climate-neutral shipping, which we achieve through avoidance and reduction on the one hand, and by offsetting the greenhouse gas emissions caused on the other hand.
In our self-perception, our commitment applies not only to our customers, employees and partners, but to people, animals and social issues in general. Here we try to contribute where needed and offer support where necessary.
