Partnering with the Community


Geodis is partnering with the Community by being a responsible actor and a good citizen


WE ARE INVOLVED IN ALL OUR BUSINESS LOCATIONS

We encourage and take part in local initiatives with environmental, social or community aims. Through our involvement in trade associations and federations, we aim to better anticipate transport and logistics issues and to promote best practices.

      - Geodis is taking part in studies to develop methods for calculating CO2 emissions
        from transport
. In France, Geodis Calberson is piloting initiatives in this area for
       Groupage and Express, in partnership with the Ademe, France’s environment
       and energy management agency.

To support employment, we are working actively with local communities and institutions.

      - Through a partnership signed in 2008 with France’s Ministry of Defence, we promote the
        recruitment of military personnel reaching the end of their contract every year.
      - Geodis Calberson was involved in the 2008 initiative “The employment and Equal
        opportunities Train”

        seekers and major companies.
 

To support local communities, our workforce conduct a wide range of initiatives in the field and promote local partnerships.
