Driving towards a more sustainable, smarter future
We see a bright future
At GLSCD Logistics, sustainability is more than a goal — it’s a guiding principle woven into everything we do. We understand that the long-term success of our business is deeply connected to our environmental and social impact. That’s why we embrace ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles as a framework and a commitment to creating lasting value for our customers, partners, and communities.
ESG Strategy
Rooted in our dedication to reliable, sustainable delivery, our ESG strategy reflects our commitment to ethical and responsible logistics. We blend experience with forward-thinking practices, prioritising environmental stewardship, employee wellbeing, and strong governance.
- Reducing Carbon Emissions (Environment)
- Optimising Employee Wellbeing (Social)
- Cultivating Sustainable Business (Governance)
These three focus areas are also linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), where we believe our operations can make a measurable, positive impact.
Environmental: Reducing carbon emissions
Our environmental focus is reducing our impact on climate change. With an efficient delivery network and modern transport fleet, our target is to lower carbon emissions. We integrate emission reduction measures into every part of our strategy and daily operations.
The most important efforts in this area include maximising route efficiency, optimising load capacities, and expanding our use of alternative fuels. We also continue to invest in modern low-emission vehicles and multimodal logistics options to reduce total CO₂ output.
Additionally, we focus on minimising emissions across our facilities and partner network, while advancing energy efficiency initiatives to make every delivery more sustainable.
We are committed to reducing carbon emissions
with the following key initiatives:
Multimodal Solutions
In 2024, 80% of our deliveries were conducted via more sustainable modes such as rail and ferry. We continue expanding these routes, targeting over 38% of all transported kilometers via low-emission options.
Alternative Fuels
We are implementing strategies such as adopting HVO100 biofuel and testing electric trucks — with a target to achieve over 1,000,000 liters of HVO use annually.
Driver Training
Our drivers are trained in eco-efficient driving practices to minimize fuel consumption and reduce emissions fleet-wide.
Technology Investment
We invest continuously in the latest truck and trailer innovations, enhancing fuel efficiency, route optimization, and overall sustainability.
Innovative Transport Solutions
We deploy multi-combination vehicles and aerodynamic designs to improve capacity utilization and reduce total emissions per load.
Emission Reporting
We maintain transparent carbon accounting and provide sustainability reports to our business partners for shared accountability.
Social: Optimising employee well-being
Our company employs over 2,500 people across 14 countries. We are committed to optimising employee well-being by fostering fairness, equality, and promoting health and safety across all operations.
We prioritise continuous development through our “People & Organisation” strategy — focusing on culture and engagement, leadership development, talent growth, and health and safety.
These principles guide our mission to create a positive, safe, and inspiring workplace for every GLSCD team member.
Governance: Cultivating sustainable business
At GLSCD, our governance policy is built on transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement. We believe governance goes beyond compliance — it’s about ensuring integrity and operational excellence across our delivery network.
To cultivate sustainable business practices, we promote collaboration, technological innovation, and responsible supplier partnerships. This ensures a resilient, ethical, and sustainable supply chain that supports our clients, communities, and the planet.

Our Journey and Future Goals:
From Awareness to Action
At GLSCD, our commitment to sustainability has evolved from simple awareness to measurable action. Since 2022, we’ve worked to integrate responsible logistics, ethical sourcing, and eco-conscious delivery operations across our entire network. This journey began with company-wide engagement and the launch of our formal ESG strategy in 2023 — focused on building a cleaner, smarter future for logistics.
By 2026, we aim to achieve full ESG alignment, ensuring our delivery and supply chain operations meet the highest global standards in environmental care, social impact, and governance transparency. Collaboration with our employees, customers, and partners remains key to driving meaningful change in every delivery we make.
Together, we are building logistics systems that are not only efficient and innovative but also inclusive and sustainable — ensuring GLSCD remains a trusted delivery partner for generations to come.
A Purpose Bigger Than Ourselves
As part of the global logistics community, GLSCD recognizes the importance of sustainable operations that benefit both people and the planet. We align our strategies with the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), focusing on responsible production, innovation, and climate action.
Our roadmap includes measurable targets for carbon neutrality, waste reduction, and digital efficiency. Every initiative we take — from fleet optimization to renewable energy use — reflects our belief that sustainability is not a side goal, but the future of delivery itself.
