Sustainability

Full speed ahead towards a sustainable future

In all areas of our company – from warehousing to transport – we work in accordance with environmentally friendly standards and use our expertise to achieve resource-saving shipping. To do so, we focus on the three pillars of sustainability. Because we can only contribute to a sustainable future if we consider, reflect on and constantly improve the ecological, economic and social dimensions of our actions.

Short distances for low emissions

Our commitment to conserving resources and protecting the environment starts with our fulfilment services. The top priority at IBS Logistics is to become more and more sustainable. For this reason, our focus is on:

Using transport-optimised packaging from regional manufacturers
Using resource-saving filling materials with a high proportion of recycled materials
If possible, completely avoiding the use of filling materials
300 kWp photovoltaic system for our electricity and heating needs
Feed-in of surplus energy into the regional grid
Reduced-emission transport planning through exclusive local forwarding agent
Integration into the economic cycle by separating waste and through regular collections by the local waste disposal service

Use of LED lighting in all halls
Acquisition of new presses to accelerate recycling processes and optimise the supply of recyclable raw materials
Expansion of the various business areas through skilled personnel
Growing number of employees at our site
Support for start-ups that share our understanding of sustainability
