Environmental protection is an integral component of our business strategy. In 2008, we became the first logistics company to introduce a quantifiable climate goal. By 2020 we aim to increase the carbon efficiency of our own operations and those of our transport subcontractors by 30 percent compared with the baseline year of 2007. Thanks to our modern fleet, optimized delivery routes and employee commitment, we reached our first interim goal in 2010 – two years earlier than planned: We improved the carbon efficiency of our own aircraft, vehicles and buildings by 10 percent compared with 2007.
