Dear Reader,

At Kuehne+Nagel, our commitment to ESG practices is a cornerstone of our long-term growth. Like us, many of our customers have committed to science-based targets and look to us as a partner who can provide solutions supporting them to achieve their sustainability goals. Our colleagues are equally passionate, finding purpose in working for a company that lives its ESG principles every day, and proud of our vision to be the most trusted supply chain partner supporting a sustainable future.

We are fully committed to scaling our low-emission logistics solutions as well as strengthening collaboration and partnerships with customers and industry partners to drive sustainability forward.

Over the past year, a standout moment for me was visiting our newest and largest fulfilment centre in Mantova, Italy, dedicated to our customer adidas. This state-of-the-art centre can manage up to half a million packages a day, operates with only renewable energy and is Gold certified by the LEED green building rating system, making it one of the most advanced and sustainable logistics hubs in Europe. This fulfilment centre is a great example of our commitment to supporting our customers’ sustainability goals.

We are also proud of our efforts to foster a diverse and inclusive workplace. Our recent initiatives, such as neurodiverse internships in the UK, are creating a more supportive and dynamic environment where everyone can thrive. This is not just good for our people; it’s good for our business.

Looking ahead, we have set ambitious goals to further reduce our environmental impact and enhance our social contributions. We are committed to transparency and will continue to share our progress with you.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we are building a sustainable future for all.
