Compared to our first report in 2022 we can conclude that we have stable performance on all elements of our sustainability strategy, such as footprint and optimizing the lifespan of our load carriers. As we make most impact by increasing the usage of our circular load-carriers with existing and new customers to improve their sustainability performance, I’m glad to see we increased the volume of our load carrier movements compared to 2022.

To give further substance to the numbers and results in this report, we have added the results of the Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) for the main load carriers of all our operating divisions. This gives better insight in their footprint but also why our circular load-carriers provide a lower footprint compared to market alternatives. These LCA’s have also been reviewed by external industry and LCA experts.

Our business strategy is centred around sustainability combined with digitalization and value growth. Each element strengthens the other two, enabling us to further move ahead to our goal to become a ‘net zero’ company by 2045. To further strengthen our organization towards realizing these results we have hired a Chief Digital Officer and are currently expanding our Sustainability team. This will enable Faber Group to focus on execution of our sustainability & digitalisation initiatives in all our operating entities, making our purpose “carrying impact” even more part of our daily practice.

We have the ambition and all elements in place to make the next steps in our sustainability journey in 2024 and to report about it accordingly, also to be compliant with the upcoming CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) legislation. This way, we are carrying impact.
