Sustainable logistic

We select our transportation solutions individually worldwide in line with the principles of safety, punctuality and cost-efficiency. In doing so, we also take into account the CO₂ emissions resulting from transportation.

We are endeavoring to transition from road transport to intermodal transport options. For example, we use digital solutions to record the status of ship transports early on so that we can plan the subsequent land transport with means of transport with the lowest possible emissions.Furthermore, we plan to make increasing use of comparatively low-emission combined-transport options, where most of the distance involved is covered by rail, barge or sea vessel, thus keeping journeys by road to a minimum.Europe in particular has good infrastructure for this kind of transport.

One good example of this are the links between the plants in the Lower Rhine region, in particular Leverkusen and Uerdingen. The new concepts connecting the plants in the Lower Rhine region to European international ports are key to making our transport solutions sustainable.

When selecting our logistics service providers, especially for overland transport in Europe, we take particular note of EcoVadis and SQAS Standard certification. This allows us to focus on sustainability and fulfill our environmentaland social responsibilities alike.
