Sustainability
WHAT SUSTAINABILITY MEANS FOR ALPENSPED
We take a three-dimensional view of sustainability on the economic, ecological and social levels (briefly: N3). As a sustainable company, we consciously place these dimensions at the centre of our actions.
We pursue a sustainability strategy to ensure that our company is fit for the future and sustainable. On the one hand, we refer to the criteria of the German Sustainability Code (DNK), which form a recognised sustainability standard. On the other hand, we take into account the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as the guidelines for our actions, under which we also systematically categorise our numerous implementation measures.
N3 philosophy: economical
Since our company was founded in 1993, we have developed from a small transport company into a medium-sized, specialised logistics service provider with process-oriented transport handling. Today, our business partners include over 150 customers and more than 50 contracted carriers.
However, growth at any price was and is not an option for Alpensped. Our goal has always been healthy economic development. That is why we ensure sustainable management, taking into account our N3 concept. We develop new countries, markets and customers in the interests of sustainability through organic growth, a healthy industry mix, customer focus, customised IT and certified quality management.
For us, a sustainable economy also includes long-term relationships with our carriers. Because those who have strong partnerships can realise their goals. All of this creates the basis for sustainable economic development at Alpensped.

N3 philosophy: ecological
Alpensped is a pioneer when it comes to “green logistics”. This is not only demonstrated by our certified environmental management in accordance with ISO standard 14001:2015, but we were also one of the first logistics service providers to have our Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF) certified for the entire company in accordance with ISO 14064:2012. Our Transport Carbon Footprint (TCF) is also certified in accordance with DIN EN 16258:2013. Since 2012, we have shown the specific TCF on all invoices for every consignment carried out.
By reducing and offsetting our emissions, we are continuously working to reduce them. We invite our customers to participate in our offsetting efforts and thus put climate-friendly transports on the road.

N3 philosophy: social
We bear social responsibility – both for our employees and for our society. Whether regional and local commitment, financial support for (inter)national aid projects or an employee-orientated HR policy – social commitment both internally and externally has always been an indispensable core element of our corporate philosophy.
We practise equality and equal opportunities. Nobody is discriminated against at our company. We are proud of the diversity of our employees and see the variety of cultures as an enrichment for our company. That is why we encourage them as much as possible and offer them development opportunities. Through our employee orientation, we achieve strong employee identification and loyalty to the company.
“Leading by example” is our motto when it comes to social and charitable commitment. Every year, we donate a fixed percentage of our profits to local and international charitable organisations. In addition, we always motivate our employees to get actively involved as well. They are given time off work to do so. To ensure that our commitment has the greatest possible impact, we work with a wide range of competent partners such as charitable organisations, associations, NGOs and local authorities. One organisation is particularly close to our hearts: the foundation Stiftung Chancen für Kinder. We are also involved with Doctors Without Borders, the Mannheim food bank, Anpfiff ins Leben and several other aid organisations.
