Sustainability<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

For years, Widem Logistics has been committed to sustainable entrepreneurship. We believe that the best results are achieved through close collaboration with our employees, stakeholders, partners, and governments.\u00a0By making environmentally friendly and strategic choices together, we are shaping a sustainable society.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Sustainable Fleet and Routing
\n<\/strong>Every kilometer not driven is a kilometer gained. That\u2019s why we focus on strategic locations to ensure that goods are always stored close to the end customer. This shortens supply routes, speeds up shipping, and reduces environmental impact.<\/p>\n

Additionally, we invest in a sustainable in-house fleet (minimum EUR6) and train our drivers in eco-driving techniques. The electrification of our fleet has also already begun.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Sustainable packaging
\n<\/strong>Using less packaging material and recycling as much as possible is a top priority. We actively collaborate with suppliers and customers to implement sustainable packaging solutions and to reuse packaging materials, such as pallets and totes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/div><\/div>

Sustainable buildings
\n<\/b>All our new buildings are constructed according to BREEAM standards. We invest in rooftop solar panels, LED lighting, rainwater harvesting, reuse of water from our car wash, and installation of heat pumps to heat our building.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Providing insights on emissions<\/strong>
\nLow Carbon Logistics Services<\/strong>\u00a0is an in-house initiative by Widem Logistics aimed at providing customers with insights into their emissions. We work with three pillars:
\nInsight and Visibility:<\/strong>\u00a0Reporting on the amount of emissions.
\nLow-Emission Transport:<\/strong>\u00a0Widem offers close to zero-emitting transport.
\nCO2 Reduction Concept:<\/strong>\u00a0Widem Logistics analyses the current state and provides recommendations on how to make it more ecological.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

are at our core<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/h3><\/div>

We create an engaging, healthy, and safe work environment where employees are given opportunities to be themselves and continue growing. We do this with attention to our internal culture, our growth goals, diversity, and inclusion. The proof that this works is our annual satisfaction survey, which shows that more than 80% of our employees are satisfied with Widem Logistics as an employer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
