Environmental Responsibility

We prioritize the environment by focusing on decarbonizing our operations and advancing towards zero-emissions transport. Our aim is to create a greener future for the logistics sector, benefiting our customers, supporting our colleagues, and engaging with communities to foster a sustainable and eco-friendly environment

Decarbonizing Our Fleet

We are dedicated to constantly updating our fleet to achieve the lowest possible greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Aside of ensuring our assets meet the latest Euro 6 standard, we have integrated battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) as well as the use of alternative fuels like HVO100 into our operations.

To support our efforts, we foster strategic partnerships with the leading technology providers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). This enables us to operate a high-quality serviced fleet, 2 years old average, sourced from top manufacturers, ensuring we provide modern, efficient, and environmentally friendly transport solutions.

Ensuring Sustainable Services

Our commitment to environmental responsibility involves adopting various solutions to achieve maximum emissions savings. From BEVs and HVO fuel, to the increased utilization of multimodal transport, these solutions allow us to minimize our environmental impact and maintain reliable operations.

By leveraging multiple sustainable solutions, we aim to enhance the efficiency of our logistics services, while reducing both our clients’ and our own carbon footprint. To explore our sustainable services and learn how we are transforming logistics, visit Girteka.eu.

Digitalization Driving Sustainability

To ensure that our logistics operations are as eco-friendly as possible, we harness the power of digitalization. Full digitalization of our processes with the latest solutions enables us to make data-driven decisions using Artificial Intelligence (AI), robotics, and data analytics.

Advanced digital tools like Real-Time Visibility (RTV) or AI route planning help us optimize routes, reduce empty mileage, and improve fuel efficiency. These innovations are crucial in tracking and reducing our carbon emissions, helping us contribute to the decarbonization of transport in Europe.

Emissions Data Transparency

We meticulously measure our total environmental impact – from vehicle emissions to office waste. For this purpose, we use the GLEC (Global Logistics Emissions Council) Framework, which allows us to track and report accurate emissions data.

With this data-driven approach, we are able to implement effective measures and set realistic goals for reducing our environmental impact, ensuring transparency and accountability in our sustainability efforts.

Educating and Empowering Our Team

We believe that our people are integral to achieving our environmental responsibility goals. That is why we have motivational programs in place to raise awareness and encourage our employees to make small changes to minimize our carbon footprint.

Notably, we provide our pool of over 12,000 drivers with comprehensive training on eco-driving skills that help maximize fuel efficiency and increase road safety. Learn more about our driver training programs at Girteka Drivers.

Every day, our Administration team has the opportunity to enhance their professional skills through a wide range of courses available on our eLearning platform. Additionally, they can participate in various courses and programs organized by our Learning Trainers of Learning and Development Team.

Supporting Our Clients and Partners

Our commitment to environmental responsibility extends to our clients and partners. Through meaningful collaborations, we promote sustainable practices across the logistics industry. By providing essential data and insights, we help our clients achieve their sustainability goals and decarbonize supply chains.

We recognize that achieving sustainable growth requires balancing economic objectives with environmental stewardship and social responsibility. By working together, we aim to create a ripple effect that amplifies the impact of our sustainability initiatives, ensuring that our operations contribute positively to the environment and society as a whole.
