Owner’s perspective

Sustainability is the only way forward

Sustainability for me is taking long term responsibility for the world around me and the people in it, essentially it is as easy as caring!

As a founder and owner of Greencarrier this means that I want us to care for our company and the people who work here, as well as for our customers and partners. And also for the people around us, the society and the planet. We call this long term commitment and sustainable approach to what we do, the Greencarrier Spirit.

Looking back at 2020

In this report we summarize our achievements and progress within sustainability for the year 2020, and it is indeed a very special year we look back on.

We all had to change our lifestyles and habits because of the pandemic. In some ways this has been good. We have changed our priorities and ways of living. We travel less, and many of us spend more time outdoors and exercise a more. I think that a lot of this will stick with us, even in the life after the pandemic.

But without doubt, the year has been a challenge for all of us and we will live with the effects for a long time to come. It’s clear – that we have the power to make a difference both in the right direction and in the wrong direction. The pandemic has shown our abilities. Individuals, companies and countries have been stepping forward in many ways. I can ensure you that Greencarrier’s sustainability ambitions and work has definitely not been paused, rather improved and intensified.

What lies ahead of us

Looking ahead into 2021 and forward I can see that the logistics industry is in focus and needed more than ever. Global trade is essentially a good thing for humanity and the logistics industry is of course the hub in the heart of all this. We ensure that our global, and local, value chains run smoothly. And now and in the future, it must be done in a sustainable way. There is no other way forward!

I see us within Greencarrier as a forerunner in the change towards a more sustainable logistics industry and we should intensify our work even more ahead.

It is all about the people

Our business is all about the people and relationships. I want everyone in Greencarrier to come to work and be happy and feel that they can be themselves at work. That they are trusted to make decisions and take own responsibility. I want all our customers to feel that we do our best to provide the right services to them.

The logistics industry is the place to be in the future. And I see that we, Greencarrier, should be the best and most attractive employer in it.

This is Greencarrier Group’s fourth sustainability report, a report that will give you a greater understanding of what we mean by Greencarrier Spirit and how we work to improve for the long term. I hope you will enjoy reading it.

Stay safe and take care!
