Den Hartogh sustainability award

Den Hartogh Trucking BV has received the Ecostars certificate for sustainable transport and has been awarded the maximum five Goldstars.

To receive this certificate the company was audited, the summary in the audit report states: “It is clear that Den Hartogh Trucking BV focuses on clean transport and is aware of the influence it has on a cleaner living environment in the Rotterdam region”.

The audit addressed, among other things, the fleet composition (100% 5 stars), fuel management, developing driving skills, vehicle selection and preventive maintenance, and support systems. The company received high scores for these subjects. The recommendations in the audit report offer Den Hartogh possibilities to continue to encourage economic driving behaviour and with it lower fuel consumption.

The Ecostars programme is a European qualification system for sustainable transporters of freight and people, in which cities and regions can participate. The European project stopped in May 2014, but was continued by the Rotterdam municipality. The certificate lets Den Hartogh demonstrate to its customers that it operates in a clean and sustainable way and it can have a positive influence when tendering.
