Effective since January 5th, 2023, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) mandates all large European businesses to publish sustainability reports under the new European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).
For the first time ever, calculation and mitigation strategies for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from cargo transportation will be included in the reporting. Compliance begins in the 2024 financial year for 2025 reports, extending to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in 2026.
Integrated into the CSRD will be the EU Taxonomy Regulation, obliging companies to calculate and reduce their GHG emissions in line with the Paris Agreement. Science Based Targets (SBTi) will ensure emissions reduction strategies prioritize operational efficiency over carbon offsets.
Embracing eco-friendly transport allows businesses to curb emissions, strengthen resilience, and shape a sustainable future. At Girteka, a logistics leader in Europe since 1996, the commitment to decarbonization of the road freight transport industry has been at the core of our values and strategic ambitions.
Boasting Europe's largest owned fleet, we facilitate smooth deliveries of more than 776,000 full truck loads (FTLs) annually. Despite the large scale of our operations, Girteka’s efforts to reduce our environmental impact have already yielded remarkable results: we curbed our CO2 emissions by over 24,5% for every kilometer traveled between 2016 and 2022.
Girteka is dedicated to continuous CO2 emissions reduction through innovation and sustainable transport solutions. Our goal is to lead the industry toward a greener future while expanding responsibly. By applying an eco-friendly approach for every load we deliver, we strive to provide customized, sustainable solutions that enable our clients to achieve their own environmental targets and adapt to the changing business landscape.
