7Days Group
Sustainability
Environmental. Economic. Social.
We act today while thinking about tomorrow
Accepting social responsibility
Within the scope of our core business activities we strive to act responsibly towards the environment, in our relations with employees and in our interaction with relevant stakeholders. We thus create fair, transparent working conditions, rely on partnership-based cooperation with our suppliers and invest in training for the next generation of employees.
Environmental solutions for a respectful attitude to the environment
We focus very closely on sustainable resource management, investing in new drive technologies for our vehicle fleet and testing them for their energy balance and practicality. In addition, we utilize systems to constantly optimize our delivery routes in an attempt to achieve the greatest possible consolidation or combination of individual groups of goods, taking account of the legal framework and customer requirements. We are engaged in a joint quest with our service partners for renovation opportunities in the area of real estate management that save energy and resources, and are planning sustainable new construction projects. The 7Days Group has set itself the goal of making logistics greener.
Overall economic solutions for a long-term, sustainable corporate orientation
Securing our commercial fundamentals in a competitive environment and dynamic markets is one of the top entrepreneurship priorities at 7Days, if we are to give the company a solid base and make it fit for the next generation. Together we strengthen our market position and successfully hold our own against our competitors, creating sustainable jobs with good working conditions and attractive wages. This is the only way for us to develop overall solutions in cooperation with our customers, thus establishing long-term partnerships along the value chain.
“Sustainable solutions for a greener future.”
Sustainability goals
Our commitment to a sustainable future
Reducing the ecological footprint
We aim to minimize our environmental impacts by reducing energy and resource consumption as well as emissions. All the companies in the 7Days Group are called upon to measure their ecological footprint and identify their key environmental impacts so that they can then develop resource-efficiency and emission-reduction measures.
Promoting a circular economy
We focus on designing solutions and services in the most sustainable way possible for our customers, with the aim of minimizing waste products and promoting recycling and reuse. We help our customers to optimize their supply chains so that they can use more sustainable materials and production methods. We do this by supporting the return of materials to the recycling cycle, thereby minimizing the use of disposable packaging.
Commitment to social responsibility
We strive to understand our impact on the environment and society in order to contribute to positive social development. We are committed to the further training and development of our employees, to fair working conditions and wages, and we protect the rights and interests of our employees, customers and stakeholders.
Pursuing long-term goals
As a medium-sized, owner-managed group of companies, we create added value for all our stakeholders by making long-term decisions and sustainable investments. We do not seek short-term profits, but instead align the company to work towards a sustainable future.
Promoting diversity and inclusion
Besides being the drivers of an inclusive workplace culture and our sustainable corporate orientation, our diverse teams are one of the organization’s most important growth factors. Together we achieve innovation, a knowledge advantage and a competitive edge.
