Sustainable development
An ambitious policy of economic expansion that respects humanity and the environement
GEFCO plans the development of its activities with respect for human beings and the environment. In the management of its customers' logistics flows as in its relations with its staff, the group is committed to respecting the principles of sustainable development. As a responsible company, GEFCO operates many initiatives to reduce the environmental impact of its activities.
Four convictions, four sustainable commitments
Sustainable development is a priority and a strategic focus for GEFCO. For both its customers and its partners, GEFCO aims to be a responsible group and has set four priorities:
- To be a socially responsible company: by promoting the involvement of all of its partners in a people-oriented management method
- To promote harmonious economic development: by always integrating the sustainable development policy of the customer or prospect into its sales process
- To control the environmental impact of its activity: by steadily increasing the proportion of non-road modes of transport
- To work with humanitarian and charitable operations: throughout the world, GEFCO supports actions that promote solidarity
Responsible management of the global logistics chain
Recognising the environmental impact of its activities and those of its subcontractors, GEFCO is seeking to measure and manage its overall environmental performance. The group’s ambition is to develop its activities within a stable ecological footprint.
Developing multimodal transport, favouring alternatives to roads, optimising the supply chain: at all levels, GEFCO tries to control the impact of its activities and to involve its partners in this environmentally responsible approach:
- For its customers: GEFCO constantly seeks to optimise logistics flows and to develop innovative transport solutions that are more environmentally friendly
- With its partners and subcontractors: GEFCO commits its partners to complying with the fundamental principles of sustainable development
