21.11. – The international transportation and logistics services provider cargo partner has become a member of the UN initiative called the Global Compact, which seeks to ensure that companies around the world adopt and report on sustainable and socially responsible policies.
On the 40th anniversary of the founding of cargo partners, the global transport logistics and information services provider officially joined the world’s largest UN initiative in the field of sustainable business development called the Global Compact. “Our 40-year journey is a testament not only to our growth, but also to our continued commitment to environmental and social responsibility,” said Stefan Krauter, founder and CEO of cargo partners. “By joining the UN Global Compact initiative, we affirm our commitment to supporting sustainability in the logistics sector, encouraging responsible business practices, and contributing to a more sustainable future around the world.”
The Global Compact is a voluntary initiative under the auspices of the United Nations, which aims to encourage companies to align their strategies and operations with universal principles in the areas of human rights, labor, the environment and the fight against corruption, as well as take actions that support societal goals. The initiative was officially launched in 2000 and currently involves 13,000 companies and other stakeholders in more than 170 countries. Participants are held accountable through regular reporting and encouraged to drive change through innovative solutions and partnerships.
Sustainability as a priority
Cargo Partners is a pioneer in implementing environmentally friendly alternatives and sets ambitious emissions targets to minimize its carbon footprint. Opened in 2018 and built using award-winning wooden architecture, the cargo partner’s iLogistics Center near Vienna Airport is an example of the company’s commitment to sustainability. The increasing number of photovoltaic installations at cargo partner locations around the world is also contributing to logistics providers’ efforts to use renewable energy sources. In addition, the company actively supports the development of fuel-efficient aircraft, electric trucks and many other projects aimed at supporting the transition to sustainable transportation and logistics technologies worldwide.
Standard processes, streamlining collaboration
cargo partners hold ISO 14001 certificates in several countries, reflecting high standards in environmental management, while various digitalization initiatives have resulted in significant reductions in resource consumption. The company’s strict quality assurance process ensures cooperation only with operators that meet the highest standards in the field of ecological transport technology. Additionally, the cargo partner actively assists its clients in monitoring and reducing their carbon footprint, supporting them in achieving their sustainability goals.
“The global climate crisis is one of the most important challenges of our time and our commitment to sustainability remains steadfast. We will continue to minimize our impact on the environment and support all stakeholders in making their operations more sustainable. “Together, we are building a better world for current and future generations,” added Stefan Krauter.
