Sustainability

NET ZERO
BY 2035.

Logistics has a carbon problem. We're committed to being part of the solution — with real milestones, public reporting and a transition plan that doesn't depend on offsets alone.

Our Initiatives

WHAT WE'RE
ACTUALLY DOING.

Electric Fleet Transition

40 EV trucks now operating in Swiss urban zones (Zürich, Geneva, Basel, Bern), covering 85% of last-mile deliveries. Target: 200 EVs by 2027, full road-fleet transition by 2031.

Gold Standard Carbon Offsets

While we electrify, 100% of remaining emissions are offset through certified Gold Standard projects in renewable energy and forest conservation — not cheap voluntary offsets.

Route Optimisation AI

Our fleet management AI continuously optimises routing to cut empty runs and fuel consumption. In 2023 it reduced road fleet kilometres driven by 11% while handling 8% more volume.

SAF Air Freight Programme

CargoGMBH is an early adopter of Sustainable Aviation Fuel with Lufthansa Cargo and Swiss WorldCargo. All air freight clients can opt into SAF blending, with full certification and chain of custody.

Scope 3 Supplier Programme

We require all Tier-1 suppliers to submit annual emissions disclosures and commit to reduction targets. 74% of our carrier network is now enrolled, up from 31% in 2021.

Annual Sustainability Report

Full TCFD-aligned disclosure published every March covering Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, climate risk scenarios, targets and progress. Available to all clients and investors on request.

Roadmap

THE PATH TO
NET ZERO.

2022
Carbon-offset road fleet launched

100% of European road operations offset through Gold Standard renewable energy projects in Kenya and India.

✓ COMPLETE
2023
First 20 EV trucks deployed; SAF programme launched

Urban last-mile fleet begins transition. CargoGMBH joins Lufthansa Cargo SAF programme as founding partner.

✓ COMPLETE
2024
40 EV trucks operational; Scope 3 supplier programme at 75%

EV fleet doubles, covering 85% of Swiss urban deliveries. Route AI reduces fleet emissions by 11%.

✓ COMPLETE
2027
200 EV trucks; 100% Scope 1+2 emissions reduction

Full Swiss urban and peri-urban coverage via EV fleet. International road routes transition to HVO and BEV heavy trucks.

IN PROGRESS
2031
Full road fleet electrification

All 320 CargoGMBH vehicles operating on electric or hydrogen. Offsets for road freight phased out entirely.

PLANNED
2035
Net Zero — all scopes

Scope 1, 2 and 3 net-zero across air, land and sea operations. Residual aviation emissions offset only via permanent carbon removal (DACCS/BECCS), not forestry credits.
