Sustainability & environment

We actively work to reduce our environmental impact

Sustainability is an integral part of GDL's strategy. We actively work to reduce our environmental impact through smarter route planning, fleet renewal and energy-saving solutions. We are ISO14001 certified and participate in several national initiatives such as Fair Transport and The transport challengewhere we are committed to being fossil-free by 2030 at the latest.

Our fleet is continuously updated with low-emission vehicles and we invest in IT solutions that enable us to minimise empty running and plan smarter deliveries. We are also working to increase the use of co-loading and green terminals.

Environmental considerations go hand in hand with occupational health and safety. GDL focuses on good conditions for employees and on being a responsible player - both on the roads and in the local community.
