DISCOVERThe Power Of Logistics In Tackling The Climate Crisis And The Sertrans Approach
Climate change is not only an environmental issue for individuals and organisations, but also a need for transformation that will reshape future business models. With this in mind, Sertrans Logistics, one of Turkey's leading logistics companies, has developed a comprehensive and measurable roadmap. The company aims to reduce the impact of climate change, ensure sustainable use of resources and create a long-term business model by minimising environmental impact.
A logistics company that delivers value for the future
Sertrans' commitment to sustainability has put it at the forefront of the logistics industry. The company's headquarters and main warehouse in Hadımköy, Istanbul, is Turkey's first Gold LEED-certified logistics facility as an environmentally friendly and energy-efficient building. This certification demonstrates that a facility meets international standards in a number of areas, including sustainable design, energy efficiency, water efficiency and indoor environmental quality.
Some of the innovative solutions implemented at the Hadımköy facility include
• 40% savings in water efficiency: The advanced technology used in the facility's water fixtures reduced water consumption by more than 40%, providing both user comfort and efficient water use. The use of water-saving materials, especially in the social areas reserved for employees, achieved an additional 50% saving, ensuring sustainability in the use of natural resources.
• Energy efficiency solutions: Sertrans uses high-efficiency lighting systems and intelligent heating, cooling and ventilation technologies in its facilities to minimise energy consumption. This approach minimises energy requirements while ensuring operational efficiency and employee comfort.
• Supplier assessments to minimise environmental impact: Sertrans carefully evaluates its suppliers against environmental impact criteria in order to create an environmentally sensitive supply chain. These assessments, carried out to minimise the environmental impact of the goods and services supplied, are an important step in ensuring a sustainable logistics value chain.
Future goals: Sustainability development plans
In the future, Sertrans plans to deepen its environmental policy and implement new projects in line with sustainable development goals:
• Improving the use of natural resources: Sertrans aims to develop sustainable logistics practices with new technologies and process improvements to further reduce the consumption of natural resources. In particular, Sertrans plans to increase its investments in the efficient use of water and energy resources.
• Solar energy investments: The solar energy investment at the Hadımköy facility is an important part of Sertrans' strategy to switch to environmentally friendly energy sources. This investment will optimise the company's long-term energy costs while reducing its carbon footprint.
• ESG compliance in new facility investments: Sertrans will focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria in new facilities to be built as part of its growth plans. In these facilities, Sertrans aims to reduce energy consumption by 10% through the use of sensor lighting and smart technologies that dynamically monitor energy consumption. These steps will set the standard for green facility management in the logistics sector.
While leading the industry in the fight against the climate crisis, Sertrans Logistics is taking an approach that constantly improves its sustainability strategy and adapts to innovation. Advanced water and energy efficiency technologies, supply chain sustainability assessments and investments in green energy solutions demonstrate how Sertrans has successfully integrated environmental responsibility into its business processes.
While Sertrans' determination to combat climate change provides an exemplary sustainable business model in the logistics sector, the company's "Value for Future" approach is working to leave a cleaner and more liveable world for future generations with sustainable and innovative solutions at every step.
