Environmental, Social & Governance
Environmental: Reducing carbon emissions
Our environmental focus is reducing our impact on climate change. With an extensive transport fleet, our target is to lower carbon emissions. We integrate emission reduction measures into our strategy and action plans.
The most important efforts in this area include maixmising use of multimodal transports carried on our network by ensuring full use of road, rail, and short-sea solutions, as well as continuing to grow our large European Multimodal Network to ensure we have capacity to offer this to our growing Client base.
We also focus our efforts on minimising carbon emissions from our transportation assets and operating an enhanced third-party transportation network. Our energy management strategy is to control and reduce energy usage effectively throughout our operations.
Social: Optimising employee well-being
Our family company employs around 2.550 people in over 14 countries. To maximise our social value, we aim to optimise employee well-being by fostering fairness and equality and promoting health and safety among our workforce.
To continuously prioritise and enhance our employees well-being our approach is guided by the ECC People & Organisation Strategy, a strategy which focuses on four key areas: Culture & People Engagement, Attractive Employer, Learning & Talent Development, and Health, Safety & Well-Being.
These strategic pillars help create a positive, safe, and inspiring work environment.

Our Journey and Future Goals: From awareness to action
Our commitment to ESG has grown steadily over the past few years. In 2022, we began by raising internal awareness across the organisation, laying the foundation for a more structured approach. This led to forming an official ESG team in 2023, dedicated to driving our sustainability goals forward.
We are now on track to achieve full ESG compliance by 2026, aligning our operations with the highest standards of environmental, social, and governance responsibility.
A key part of this journey is engaging with our stakeholders. We actively collaborate with employees, customers, suppliers, and institutions to promote sustainable practices and create shared value. By working together, we ensure that our ESG efforts are not only effective but also inclusive and future-focused.
A purpose bigger than ourselves
As a member of a global community, we understand that sustainability must be viewed through a worldwide lens. To this end, we refer to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This agenda was embraced by all United Nations member states in 2015 and presents a collective vision for peace and prosperity for both people and the planet, aimed for achievement by 2030.
At Ewals Cargo Care, we take initiative. We have pinpointed specific goals that align with our key topics and recognize these as having significant potential to advance sustainability within our business operations.
