Our responsibility

Sustainability – social, environmental and economic

GLS has a holistic understanding of sustainability that encompasses environmental, social and economic aspects of its corporate responsibility. The aim is to offer customers the highest quality in terms of logistics whilst providing employees with a stable job at a strong company.

For GLS, these two factors go hand in hand. By achieving these goals, GLS also contributes to the mobility and reliable availability of goods, which, in turn, constitute the backbone of the economy. The aim is to attain sustainable commercial success whilst protecting the environment for future generations. GLS is also committed to the society in which it operates.

Sustainability is now seen by a great many people as one of the most pressing issues facing our society. We at GLS can see this simply from the fact that the demands of our dialogue groups in this area are continuing to increase. Of course we are very happy about this development
