Sustainability

Our sustainability concept covers three main areas: Products & Services, People & Wellbeing and Climate Change & Resource Consumption. Through our activities in these areas, we contribute to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are also anchored in Switzerland's 2030 sustainability policy. In particular, we can make relevant contributions to six of the seventeen UN goals. In addition, fair, non-discriminatory and respectful treatment of all our stakeholders (SDG 16) is a matter of course for us.

This approach ensures the creation of sustainable value for our customers, our employees, our business partners and society as a whole.

The consideration of an overall system solution, combined with our expertise, enables sustainable logistics concepts. With our systems and services, we help our customers to convey, store and pick efficiently and in a resource-saving manner. The optimisation, durability and energy efficiency of our systems enable our customers to operate sustainably and contribute to an efficient circular economy, particularly with our system solutions in the area of returns logistics.

We are convinced that entrepreneurial success is only possible with motivated and competent employees. We therefore want to offer our employees an attractive and safe working environment that is characterised by development opportunities, appreciation, equal rights and freedom from discrimination. As an employer, we fulfil our social responsibility and aim to avoid accidents, prevent damage to health and ensure that occupational health and safety is implemented in accordance with the law at all times.

We influence the climate and contribute to the global consumption of resources through our products and services and indirectly through our upstream supply chains. We endeavour to use resources efficiently and sustainably in all areas of our business activities. In particular, we want to maximise the potential for increasing efficiency in energy consumption and thus conserve resources. We also want to reduce our direct and indirect CO2 emissions and thus make our contribution to combating global warming.

In addition to our own working environment, international supply chains are also relevant for us in terms of our ethical principles. We therefore base our collaboration with our suppliers on corresponding guidelines. In this way, we aim to promote sustainability aspects, reduce risks in the supply chain and demonstrate our overall responsible business behaviour to our customers.
