ESG
Für unsere Gruppe ist ESG kein Modewort, sondern integraler Bestandteil unserer Unternehmenskultur. Als Pionier für Mehrwegtransportbehälter haben wir bereits seit den 1990iger Jahren zahlreiche Umwelt- und Nachhaltigkeitspreise gewonnen. Unsere innovativen Mehrwegtransportbehältersysteme sind Inbegriff der Circular Economy und haben sich in vielen Branchen wie zB Landwirtschaft, Chemische Industrie, Einzelhandel, Automobilindustrie, Lebensmittelindustrie durchgesetzt und sparen dort in der Supply Chain neben CO2 wertvolle Ressourcen und vermeiden Müll. Allein das vor 30 Jahren von uns gegründete und heute immer noch als Hauptkunde sehr erfolgreich agierende Unternehmen IFCO spart im Einzelhandel mit unseren Behältern jährlich mehr 1.5Mrd. Einwegverpackungen und damit über 500.000 Tonnen CO2/Jahr. Neben den wichtigen Umweltaspekten sind wir stolz darauf, dass in unserer Gruppe Mitarbeiter aus über 60 Nationen teilweise seit mehreren Jahrzenten arbeiten. Im traditionell männerdominierten Logistikbereich werden mittlerweile mehr als 25% der Führungspositionen von Frauen bekleidet. Die Governance sowohl bei unserer Holding wie auch bei den wesentlichen Beteiligungen ist klassisch zweistufig mit Aufsichtsrat und Management Board und die Umsetzung der jeweiligen Governance Codex Richtlinien ist selbstverständlich.
Wir arbeiten hart daran, jeden Tag noch besser zu werden und unterstützen die UN Sustainable Development Goals. Soziales Engagement ausserhalb des Geschäftsbetriebs ist uns ein großes Anliegen.
