Increasingly, it finds itself caught between growing demand for transport services and rising requirements to mitigate climate change. Companies in the chemical industry rely on secure, predictable, and international supply chains – so they need their logistics partners to be committed not only to efficiency but also to environmental responsibility.

As a global logistics provider, Dachser does not shy away from its responsibility for the sustainable transformation of supply chains — with a clear corporate strategy and holistic measures that are commercially viable in the long term. For Dachser, the pursuit of greater sustainability isn’t just an additional task or a marketing tool, but rather an integral part of its business dealings. The company has a strategic focus program, ‘Dachser Climate Protection’, that brings together all its activities in the area of sustainability and centers on four fields of action: process efficiency, energy efficiency, research and innovation, and initiatives beyond the company’s boundaries that combine social commitment and climate action.

Crucially, these four fields all pursue continuous development — building on proven technologies, processes, and regulations with a view to measurably supporting the environment and partners, while safeguarding the company’s performance at the same time. The focus is on responsibility, transparency, and verifiability. Dachser is investing specifically in low-emission technologies, digital processes, and sustainable infrastructure, always with an eye on their impact and profitability. The aim is to develop sustainable logistics solutions and make them practicable at scale in close cooperation with customers, partners, the scientific community, and employees.
