Würth Logistics - Sustainability

Our path to sustainable logistics

Sustainability is not just part of our business model – it is our driving force. In an industry that significantly contributes to global greenhouse gas emissions, our goal is to make the flow of goods more efficient and environmentally friendly. We develop smart transport concepts and continuously optimize them to combine ecological responsibility with economic efficiency, conserve resources, and reduce emissions. In close cooperation with our transport service providers, we rely on environmentally friendly means of transport – whether by land, sea, or air. Through our services, we help our customers reduce their ecological footprint in their supply chains and make their logistics processes more sustainable. Sustainable success begins within the company and with strong partners.

Our Responsibility

As a 4PL company, we bear a special responsibility for the environment and society. We are committed to actively contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the logistics industry. This responsibility goes beyond our own actions – it also shapes our collaboration with partners and service providers. We expect all stakeholders to commit to the same goals and work with us to reduce the ecological footprint of global goods flows. Our responsibility does not end with the efficiency of our logistics processes; it continues through the consistent application of sustainability principles at every step of our value chain.

Our Understanding

We understand sustainability as a holistic approach based on three pillars: economy, ecology, and social aspects. These three dimensions form the foundation of our logistics processes. We strive for economic success without burdening the environment, placing a strong emphasis on responsible resource management. At the same time, we acknowledge our responsibility to consider social aspects – whether in collaboration with customers and partners or in the workplace. Sustainability serves as our compass, guiding us on a path that not only maintains economic direction but also protects the environment and places people’s well-being at the center.

Our Sustainability Strategy

Our sustainability strategy is based on three pillars that define our fields of action. As Services & Solutions, we develop transport concepts that work like a precise clockwork – efficient, digital, and resource-saving. Our goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while operating economically. Employees & Society form the heartbeat of our company. We create a work culture that empowers people and encourages them to take responsibility for the environment and society. In Environment & Resources, we rely on green technologies and digital solutions to minimize the environmental impact. With every step, we design logistics that conserve our natural resources and are future-proof.

Our fields of action

The business model of Würth Logistics is based on consolidating the freight volume of the globally operating Würth Group and external customers. With transport concepts – such as procurement and distribution hubs and round trips – we consolidate transport volumes, make optimal use of cargo space, and reduce empty trips. For our flows of goods, we calculate greenhouse gas emissions, providing our customers with transparency in the balance sheet of their own transports and key figures for their reporting. As a 4PL provider, we rely on a partnership with transport service providers and expect them to also commit to the defined sustainability goals.

The Würth Group shapes the regions around its headquarters worldwide with strong social and cultural commitment. Würth Logistics shares this corporate culture and also assumes social responsibility. With hand and heart, we shape the environment in which we work and live. We create spaces for growth, promote diverse perspectives, and encourage our employees to realize their full potential. Together, we tackle challenges by creating equal opportunities for everyone. We also focus on trust in our collaboration with customers and partners, building long-lasting relationships.

In addition to our resource-saving transport concepts, we automate and digitize our processes in transport handling. We provide all relevant information and transport documents via our online platform, thereby avoiding large amounts of printed paper. This not only reduces material consumption but also improves the efficiency and transparency of our processes. In collaboration with our transport service providers, we use modern and low-emission vehicles wherever possible.
