DB Schenker's business concept is in itself one success factor - by consolidating goods and co-ordinating transports, several unnecessary kilometres on our roads are already avoided.

But more can be done - and have to be done to live up to DB Schenker's environmental vision:

"DB Schenker's ambition is to pursue all available efforts to become the most environmentally sustainable logistics provider in the world."

DB Schenker’s vision is based on the conviction that good business means responsible business practice. Environmental consideration is one of the cornerstones for sustainable development. Other cornerstones, such as risk prevention, social responsibility, and ethical concerns are becoming additional standard elements of worldwide sustainable business commitment. As a leading worldwide logistics network Schenker will continuously integrate all relevant aspects of sustainable development into business strategies in order to balance and continuously improve economic prosperity, environmental quality, safety, health and social well-being.
