Sustainability
WHAT SUSTAINABILITY MEANS TO ALPENSPED
Alpensped views corporate responsibility in three dimensions: economic, environmental and social. We summarise these three areas in our N3 philosophy.
Our sustainability strategy is guided by the criteria of the German Sustainability Code (DNK) and selected Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We systematically allocate the measures derived from these to the areas of economic stability, environmental management and social responsibility.
The aim is to ensure the long-term viability of our company’s development, to record relevant key performance indicators transparently, and to regularly review and further develop our measures.
N3 philosophy: economy
Since our company was founded in 1993, Alpensped has developed from a small transport company into a medium-sized, specialised logistics service provider with process-oriented transport management. Today, our business partners include over 150 customers and more than 50 contracted carriers.
Our business activities are geared towards long-term stability. We expand into new countries, markets and customer relationships gradually and on the basis of a balanced mix of sectors. In doing so, we focus on customer focus, digital processes, bespoke IT and certified quality management.
Long-term relationships with our carriers are a key part of our corporate responsibility. Reliable partnerships, clear processes and shared quality standards form the basis for the stable development of our company.
N3 philosophy: ecology
Alpensped is committed to an externally audited environmental management system and the transparent recording of climate-related indicators. Our environmental management system is certified to ISO 14001:2015. In addition, our Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF) for the entire company has been certified to DIN EN ISO 14064-1:2019. Our Transport Carbon Footprint (TCF) is also certified to DIN EN ISO 14083:2024.
Since 2012, we have been stating the specific Transport Carbon Footprint for every consignment we handle on our invoices. In this way, we ensure transparency regarding transport-related emissions and provide our customers with verifiable information for their own environmental and sustainability reporting.
In 2026, Alpensped was awarded the German Sustainability Award. The award recognises our long-standing approach to combining environmental, social and economic responsibility.
We collect relevant emissions data, continue to develop measures to reduce emissions and, in addition, support selected climate protection projects. Supporting climate protection projects does not replace the avoidance or reduction of emissions, but complements our measures to ensure transparency and the further development of our climate protection activities.
N3 philosophy: social responsibility
Alpensped takes social responsibility towards its employees and society. This includes regional and local engagement, support for selected charitable projects, and an employee-focused HR policy.
We are committed to equality, equal opportunities and a discrimination-free working environment. The diversity of our staff is an important part of our corporate culture. That is why we promote development opportunities and place great value on fostering long-term loyalty among our staff.
Social and charitable engagement is also part of our corporate philosophy. Every year, Alpensped donates a fixed percentage of its profits to local and international charitable organisations. In addition, we support our staff in getting actively involved.
To ensure our support is targeted effectively, we work with non-profit organisations, associations, NGOs and local authorities. These include, amongst others, the ‘Chancen für Kinder’ Foundation, Médecins Sans Frontières, the Mannheim Food Bank, ‘Anpfiff ins Leben e. V.’ and other aid organisations.
