Our journey towards reduced CO₂ emissions

At Segers Fabriker, sustainability is a central part of our business, and we continuously work to reduce our environmental impact. During the last period, we handled 28,317 shipments, resulting in a total emission of 126,423 kg of carbon dioxide. The largest part of these emissions, 81%, comes from road transport.

We are aware that air freight currently only accounts for 1% of our shipments, yet it still represents 16% of our total emissions. We have made great progress by minimizing all incoming air deliveries. A remaining challenge is air deliveries to our customers worldwide. We are actively working to reduce the need for express air deliveries within Europe, as road transport is a more environmentally friendly alternative. In addition, we plan to establish warehouses in North America with a partner, which can reduce emissions from transports to the USA and Canada by up to 90%.

We offset some of our emissions through DPD's CO₂-neutral certificate, as part of our long-term strategy for more efficient transport solutions. We continue to develop our efforts and plan to include more areas in our future reporting to further reduce our climate footprint.
