Sustainable transport is no longer merely a bonus option for the logistics sector – today, most industries require sustainable transport means and efforts to conserve resources from their logistics service providers. Kristiane Schmidt works in the Sustainable Solutions department at Contargo, one of the leading container hinterland logistics networks in Europe. The team releases a biennial sustainability report, discussing the current developments in the sector, as well as studies that investigate the effectiveness of implemented strategies and the potential of new approaches for sustainable transport. Stephan Weddrin is a project manager at Rhenus Project Logistics, the expert for the transport of heavy and oversized goods. The company aims to reduce emissions by optimising supply chains. We’ve interviewed both experts in their respective fields in order to find out why and how sustainable, multimodal transport plays an important role for project logistics.

Subject to approval by the antitrust authorities, Rhenus intends to strengthen its activities in Germany and Europe with the planned takeover of the LOXX logistics group from Gelsenkirchen on 1 January 2021. Thilo Streck, Managing Director of Rhenus Freight Logistics, explains in an interview how exactly this will take place, what the further plans are and what advantages will result from the merger for both LOXX and the Rhenus Group.

Anyone landing at Clark International Airport in Angeles City, north of the Philippine capital, Manila, will hardly initially suspect that a Rhenus company, founded just recently in 2017, was involved in the airport expansion. In 2019, Rhenus Commodity Logistics organised the transportation of machines and building materials from Austria, via the ARA ports, to the Philippines. The Rhenus subsidiary has been growing steadily ever since.

For ever more manufacturers, sustainable and socially-aware production is part of their corporate philosophy. However, a green value-creation chain certainly does not end at the factory floor. Companies which also attach importance to being environmentally-friendly, to quality and to social standards in logistics are in exactly the right place at Rhenus. We will be pleased to show you how fair and sustainable logistics can be – even for goods which need to travel long distances.
