HOYER promotes efficient sustainability management with low-emission truck engines

HOYER, the Hamburg logistics specialist, promotes efficient sustainability management and sets the protection of people and the environment as a top focus of its activities by increasing intermodal transport, using low-emission truck engines, establishing an energy management system and enlarging the duties of its SHEQ department.

As a globally operating company, HOYER said it knows the central importance of sustainable action in all steps of the logistics process.

HOYER’s SHEQ and Sustainable Management department takes oversight of the subjects of safety, health, the environment and quality, and since 2012 has been responsible for publishing an annual Sustainability Report.

In this, the international logistics specialist declares key figures for the sustainability of the company’s activities, documenting the success of its strategic efforts to reduce CO₂ emissions and incident rates.

One of these endeavours consists of expanding intermodal transport: this comprised a 79.5 percent share of the HOYER Group’s total journeys in the most recent evaluations, enabling a highly effective decrease in CO₂ emissions.

This reduction was supported by the use of Euro-6-compliant drive systems in more than 90 percent of the overall vehicle fleet being used.

Thanks to these two improvements, HOYER achieved a new company record and was able to reduce transport-related emissions to below 20 grammes of CO₂ per tonne-km for the first time.

It said the target to reduce transport-related CO₂ emissions by 25 percent within ten years “is within reach”.
