Corporate social responsibility and
corporate sustainability are now an
indispensable topic on the agenda of any
advanced corporate management. The
vision of an economically viable development
that combines social responsibility
and the conservation of environmental
resources has increasingly taken shape
for MBS Logistics in recent years. This
is about both long-term successful business
development and a positive corporate
contribution to the sustainable
development of society as a whole.
We at MBS Logistics have a responsibility
to develop a sustainable strategy
and pursue it in our day-to-day work. Of
course, the transport industry in general
has just a small ecological footprint.
Especially with regard to the pandemic
situation, in which the global transport
volume has increased significantly and
thus the emissions produced have also
risen.
However, the approach of higher-level
logistics is quite different, as it is
about optimising the flow of goods, information
and finances, taking into account
all external and internal factors.
This naturally also includes the reduction
of environmental impacts during the
transport of goods from A to B, including
storage. Therefore, MBS Logistics
has different approaches to integrating
the topic of
sustainability in various areas of the
company. For example, we have been
able to operate our warehouses more
energy-efficiently through modern technologies
(e.g. lighting concepts) and thus
minimise consumption.
We see an important lever especially
in the area of digitalisation, because
the networking of our digital logistics
systems with customers and partners
has clear ecological effects that result
from increased coordination and the
avoidance of inefficiencies. In addition,
ecological factors are now increasingly
playing a role in the selection and development
of subcontractors used. The
use of logistical networks also enables us
to optimise the utilisation of tours and
routes. Only optimally coordinated logistical
processes create the conditions for
a sustainable approach.
Of course,
there is always
a lingering effect
from every transport,
which must
be compensated for
if we are serious about
achieving CO2
neutrality.
MBS NETWORK
We absolutely do not want to conceal
this, but from now on offer our
customers the possibility of being able
to transparently comprehend what the
respective CO2 imprint looks like on their
own transports. For this purpose, a CO2
calculator will soon be implemented on
our homepage. On the basis of the calculator,
complete CO2 balances can be
drawn up in future on request and made
available to our customers - and for those
who like to settle their debts immediately,
compensation projects will also be
suggested directly in order to counteract
the unavoidable effect on our environment
to the same extent.
Globalisation, climate protection,
energy supply and much more. - the list
of major challenges facing politics, the
economy, society and companies in the
21st century is long. We also see it as our
responsibility to make our contribution.
Now - more than ever - we need to tackle
them together.
