How we care
As sustainability is at the core of our business and close to our hearts, we have developed a comprehensive sustainability strategy, covering all areas of ESG (Environment, Social and Governance). The sustainability program is divided in a Peak and Plateau program as can be seen in the overview.
Our major goals
Responsible Production & Consumption
Our targets are related to the entire life cycle of the load carrier, spanning from sustainable procurement to extending its pooling phase and maximising high-value processing at its end-of-life stage. We contribute to sustainable sourcing of raw materials to produce load carriers and maximise the usage of our circular load carriers by customers and partners. Furthermore we maximise the lifespan of our load carriers over time, and commit to high-value processing at the end of their end-of-life stage.
Climate action
We contribute to minimising the carbon emissions of our customers and partners by using our load carriers. And we minimise the CO2e emissions of our own logistic operations and at our depots. We strive to reduce our scope 3 footprint per trip by 30% in 2030.
Partnership for the goals
Being part of supply chains, we realise our goals in cooperation with our customers, retailers, and business partners such as load carrier manufacturers, logistics service providers and depots.
Real and honest marketing is essential in business-to-business, especially for products that are not appealing at first glance, like standardised pooling crates. Solid information, know-how and experience are key in order to convince (potential) customers. My job is to make this honesty visible, internal and external. The same applies to sustainability in companies – no greenwashing, but authentic living. This can be found at vPOOL and Faber Group. Small but tangible steps towards real sustainability create more visibility.”
Carla Gögelein, Marketing Manager of vPOOL Logistics GmbH
The re-use of pallets and the design for long term use have been the core of PRS’ sustainable mission. Now, more than ever, we are at the page to make a difference with our choices for future generations. This is not easy and very challenging. But the fact that we don’t bury our heads in the sand and try to make a sustainable impact for the long term is what sustainability at PRS means to me.”
