Creating value through sustainable choices
We approach sustainability with practicality and “common sense.” For us, sustainability means making choices today that will continue to benefit the planet, people, and communities in the future. Since 2011, when we opened our first inland terminal and took the lead in integrated multimodal logistics, we have been committed to sustainable growth. This marked the start of our ESG journey, and we have continued to build on this foundation ever since.
