Environmental Management System

Kuehne + Nagel believes in the importance of using resources efficiently and preventing environmental pollution in order to pass on a sustainable and healthy planet to future generations. As a company, we have formulated the Kuehne + Nagel Environmental Management Policy based on the ISO 14001 Standard, which includes the following elements:

• Environmental Compliance Management 
• Climate Change Management 
• Energy Management 
• Air Quality Management 
• Waste Management 
• Water Management 
• Biodiversity Management 
• Sustainable Packaging 

Information and performance data on a majority of these programme elements are tracked and reported through corporate reporting systems such as the Global Facility Carbon Calculator (GFCC) and the Global Transport Carbon Calculator (GTCC). Kuehne + Nagel Quality, Safety, Health & Environmental (QSHE) reports published periodically include environmental performance data at the facility, business unit, and corporate levels, and performance is reviewed by the Executive Management. This enables Kuehne + Nagel to monitorand identify successes, risks, and opportunities for improvements and reductions worldwide.
