Sustainability at TGW Logistics

Your Impact Matters

Sustainability is at the core of everything we do at TGW Logistics. As a foundation-owned company, part of our revenue is retained for research and development, which keeps us on the cutting edge of sustainable logistics. However, a portion is also given to the TGW Future Wings Foundation, who then invests in non-profit organizations.

Our Holistic Approach

Our goal is to provide a comprehensive sustainability report by the end of the 2025/26 fiscal year. To ensure transparency, the data will follow the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), which supports consistent reporting. Published each year alongside our annual report, the data will help create a navigable roadmap to a more sustainable future.

A holistic approach to sustainability across the three ESG areas - Environment, Social, and Governance - is essential. With our Sustainability Roadmap, we are laying the foundation for a successful and sustainable future together. One thing is clear - sustainability is not a solo project. Only by working together can we achieve great things. This is precisely the message we want to convey with our guiding principle, ‘Your impact matters.’

Taking Action to Reach Our Goals

We’ve translated our SDGs into six fields of action to ensure we’re doing all we can to maintain sustainable operations internally and at our client sites.

Transparency, accountability, and reporting

We aim to maintain full transparency when reporting data to stakeholders. This includes clearly defining KPIs and responsibilities.

Decarbonization

We’re committed to supporting the European Union’s goal of achieving net zero by 2050. By setting ambitious targets, we are doing our part to contribute to a more sustainable future, helping drive positive change.

Circulatory and lifestyle approach

We consider the entire lifecycle of our systems while developing innovative solutions for our partners. Our experts take measures to minimize the environmental impact of our work.

Value chain and stakeholder engagement

Our stakeholders understand TGW Logistics’ ambitions for a better tomorrow. Due diligence and supply chain resilience play essential roles in our value chain.

Integrity and diversity

Enhancing personal integrity in the workplace is crucial at TGW Logistics. We’ve created a work culture where inclusion and diversity are paramount.

Health and safety

We work to maximize health and safety to ensure our employees lead enriching lives—in and out of the workplace. This includes on-site safety measures such as noise reduction and design protocols that result in ergonomic workstations.

We Make Sustainable Warehouse Operations Possible

At TGW Logistics, we recognize the critical importance of sustainability—not just because it’s at the core of our philosophy, but because it’s also essential to our partners. We also understand the challenges of achieving and maintaining sustainable operations while meeting customer demands. That’s why we’re committed to enabling sustainable business growth helping our partners strike the perfect balance between efficiency and ESG responsibility.

Our Energy Efficient Solutions

Our sustainable logistics systems are equipped with features that reduce energy consumption. The innovative “eco mode” adjusts system speed during low-demand periods, and the “off mode” functionality powers down non-essential systems when not in use. These advancements cut energy costs, minimize wear, and reduce noise. We offer them as optional add-ons, ensuring tailored, energy-efficient solutions for your logistics system.

Sustainable Construction Methods

We practice DGNB Gold Standard construction methods, a globally recognized framework for assessing and certifying the sustainable nature of buildings, neighborhoods, and interiors. Our construction methods support environmental protection, cost savings, improved health and well-being, and social benefits. These practices align with our broader corporate goals, enabling us to promote long-term resilience throughout our operations.

Green Steel Projects

Using green steel in our warehouse logistics systems supports eco-friendly strategies by significantly reducing carbon emissions associated with material production. Green steel has the potential to reduce carbon emissions by up to 90% or more, making it a critical solution for decarbonizing industries. This aligns with our environmental goals by enabling the creation of durable, eco-friendly infrastructures while promoting the circular economy through recycled materials.

Product Carbon Footprint

Calculating the product carbon footprint provides valuable insights into the environmental impact of our products, enabling us to identify opportunities for improvement, enhance efficiency, and meet growing regulatory and customer expectations for sustainability. By understanding our carbon footprint, we can make data-driven decisions to reduce emissions, optimize processes, and contribute to global climate goals. At TGW Logistics, we have partnered with the renowned Fraunhofer Institute to ensure a precise and scientifically validated assessment, reinforcing our commitment to transparency and continuous environmental improvement.
