At the beginning of December 2014, Green Freight Europe (GFE) presented its “First Leaf” awards to its partners. DSV, which has been a member of the association since 2012, has just received its first leaf.
Green Freight Europe is a non-governmental association established in March 2012 to build environmental awareness among distributors and logistics operators. One of the association’s key missions is the promotion and education of both transport companies and clients in the TSL market. Through monitoring and reports received from its members, Green Freight Europe issues certificates in the form of four symbolic leaves. These awards are granted to companies that provide information on their strategy and specific actions taken to reduce CO2 emissions resulting from transport activities.
– For years, we have been preparing reports on carbon dioxide consumption for our key clients, and since 2012, we have also been doing so as part of the Green Freight Europe initiative. Our membership in the association is another milestone on the road to reducing CO2 emissions to an absolute minimum. This year, DSV received its first leaf; in the future, we naturally plan to obtain all four – comments Piotr W. Krawiecki, CEO of DSV Road.
In December 2014, DSV received its first leaf for the periodic submission of reports on CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. To receive subsequent ones, the company will have to meet increasingly stringent standards imposed by the association.
