Embracing a “holistic” approach to sustainability is not a passing trend — it’s a necessity for building a better present and future. As a logistics company, we have chosen to place people at the core of our sustainability strategy. We firmly believe that real change begins with our employees, fully aligned with the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Sustainable Development Goals in Logistics
Our initiatives are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda, endorsed by 193 countries in 2015. Specifically, we focus on achieving three key objectives:
- Goal 8: Promoting sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, along with decent work for all
- Goal 12: Ensuring responsible and sustainable production and consumption patterns
- Goal 13: Taking urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
Training as a Driver of Change
We invest in the training of our employees through a structured awareness program designed to encourage sustainable behaviors both at work and in everyday life. For our operational teams, we organize specialized courses that demonstrate how small, everyday actions can make a significant impact.
Special focus is given to training for our transport staff, with modules covering topics such as fuel-efficient driving techniques—particularly important when handling hazardous materials—and optimal vehicle maintenance practices.
Training thus becomes a tool for cultural transformation, helping us build a shared vision of sustainability.It’s not just about acquiring professional skills; it’s about developing a mindset and sensitivity that every team member can carry beyond the workplace.
Employee Well-Being: A Priority
In the logistics sector as well, caring for employee well-being is essential.Our approach to corporate welfare focuses on creating a work environment that fosters both professional and personal growth. As highlighted by the International Labour Organization, decent work is the foundation for sustainable development.
Impact on Surrounding Communities
Social sustainability naturally extends beyond corporate boundaries.Our commitment to sustainability education generates a multiplier effect within the community.As employees embrace sustainable practices and values in their daily work, they naturally become ambassadors of these principles within their own social circles, such as their families and communities.
Environmental awareness, responsible consumption, and a strong focus on safety are all values that, once internalized, influence everyday choices far beyond working hours.In this way, the impact of our sustainability policies is amplified, indirectly reaching a much broader audience.
An Integrated Approach to Sustainability
As seen, social sustainability is not an isolated element, but part of a broader strategy that also encompasses environmental and economic aspects. Through continuous training and awareness initiatives, we have built a corporate culture where sustainability is embedded in every decision and daily activity.
Our employees are not merely executors of corporate policies, but active drivers of a continuous improvement journey that creates value for all stakeholders.
