Sustainability

Responsibility by Tradition.

The GREIWING logistics for you GmbH is a medium-sized family company in which social interaction constitutes the centre of our actions. Together with our group of companies, we not only seek to overcome the challenges of sustainable transformation, but also to recognise and benefit from the opportunities it offers. This means that social, ecological and economic principles are taken into account equitably in everyday life and when making decisions. Protecting people is a key focus for us, both within our group of companies as well along the entire supply chain.

SOCIAL

  • Equal treatment and equal rights for all employees, e.g. through equal pay for all genders and anti-discrimination actions
  • Comprehensive occupational safety measures
  • Individual support through further training programmes
  • Health-promoting offers such as JobRad or the Employee Assistance Programme
  • Equipping all employees with a smartphone, e.g. to use the e-learning programmes
  • Commitment to community welfare, e.g. through a sponsorship with Plan International Deutschland e.V.

ECOLOGICAL

  • A continuous 26 per cent reduction in total energy consumption between 2022 and 2025.
  • In the 2025 financial year, 19 per cent of electricity requirements were met by our own PV systems. This figure has been rising steadily since 2022 due to the installation of new systems. Eight out of 11 branches are already equipped with their own photovoltaic systems.
  • Greiwing logistics for you GmbH’s Scope 1 emissions were reduced by 25.4 per cent between 2022 and 2025, mainly due to reduced diesel consumption.
  • Reduced resource consumption through the switch to SAP4/HANA and the use of tablets in lorries to minimise paper use during transport processes.
  • Latest-generation vehicles fitted with low-emission engines (EURO VI A, C–E)

ECONOMICAL

Our Values

Our company group is characterised by close cooperation and a great deal of humanity. Our dealings with each other are respectful and characterised by mutual trust. It is important to us that you always feel valued as an employee, but above all as a person. We want to achieve a lot together.

great together

At GREIWING, we work as a team and support each other. Only together can we master the daily challenges and be successful.

Respectful

Tolerant, polite and honest behaviour: We listen to each other, value each other's expertise, express criticism objectively and can resolve conflicts through communication.

Employee driven

We understand personal responsibility to mean that each person makes conscious decisions and has thought about the consequences in advance. The focus is on achieving the company's goals while complying with the applicable regulations.

Integrative

We are all equally important cogs in the wheel of the GREIWING family; every cog counts. We are there for each other and are constantly learning how we can complement each other even better and improve our collaboration.

Worthy of appresiation

We understand appreciation to mean tangible recognition and attention for one another as well as a positive basic attitude towards our fellow human beings. Appreciation refers not only to performance, but always to a person as the individual human being.

Individual

On the one hand, individual means that something is tailored to individual people - everyone has individual needs, for example. On the other hand, it also means that something is characterised by the particularity of the individual personality - everyone has individual strengths, for example.

Neverending

As a family business, we always think about the next generation. That is why we consider not only the economic aspect in every decision, but also the well-being of our employees and the possible negative impacts on the environment.

Gentle

We understand fair to mean equal cooperation at eye level, regardless of hierarchical level.

We have been EcoVadis-certified since 2014 and continuously improving our sustainability management ever since.
