Lean & Green
It is proud to announce that De Zwaluw Logistics has been awarded its first Lean & Green star. This prestigious award recognises efforts in sustainability and eco-friendly initiatives within the transport sector. Achieving the first Lean & Green Star underlines the ongoing commitment to reduce environmental impact and contribute to a future in which logistics processes are more efficient and greener.
Sustainable future
This achievement is an important step towards a future in which sustainability plays a central role in the logistics chain. Achieving the Lean & Green Star confirms that, through targeted actions and a long-term vision, the transport sector can make a significant contribution to protecting the environment. This milestone therefore serves as inspiration to continue to realise green ambitions and make an even greater impact on the way to a sustainable future.
Renewal of WMS and TMS systems
Efficiency plays a crucial role in reducing environmental impact. Investing in advanced Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and Transport Management Systems (TMS) optimises logistics processes. These systems help to improve routes, avoid empty kilometres and streamline planning. This results in lower costs and a significant reduction in CO2 emissions.
Modern and sustainable fleet
The fleet is continuously renewed to meet the most stringent environmental and safety requirements. Investments are made in the latest trucks, which are equipped with advanced Euro 6 engines. These engines provide significantly lower emissions, contributing to cleaner air and reduced environmental impact. In addition, alternative fuels, such as hydrogen and electric vehicles, are being actively researched to further explore the future of sustainable transport. These innovative technologies contribute to quieter, more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly transport. Continuous modernisation and sustainability of the vehicle fleet respond to the growing demand for environmentally aware and efficient transport solutions, without compromising on safety and quality.
