Short, direct routes. Maximum utilisation of lorries. Intermodal transport. Green routes. With a total of six logistics centres, we are close to our customers throughout Europe. When it comes to the delivery of raw materials, transport between our plants and shipping, we always focus on one thing: the ecological footprint.
Reduce exhaust gases
Numerous initiatives throughout the Group are aimed at ensuring that our employees are greener and more CO₂-optimised on the road. To this end, we are reducing ...
- ... Commuting: 40 per cent of working time in the home office for all VDU workstations
- ... Travelling between plants: Focus on online meetings
- ... Petrol/diesel consumption: Our company fleet increasingly consists of hybrid and e-cars. The network of e-charging stations is also being continuously expanded.
- ... Car journeys: Group-wide incentives for alternative mobility concepts (see below) are in place to encourage more and more employees to leave their cars behind when travelling to work.
France: More sustainable step by step
Taking the train virtually to the office door - this option is available to employees of our French subsidiary thanks to the relocation of the company headquarters to an eco-responsible business park in Entzheim: the train station is only a few minutes away and travelling by public transport is easy.
Italy: E-bike charging stations
To motivate employees to commute to work by e-bike, a charging station with 6 charging points has been created in Italy. There are also covered, secure bicycle parking spaces.
Northern Europe: Green company fleet
France: The sales team's vehicle fleet consists exclusively of hybrid vehicles.
In the Netherlands, 40 per cent of company vehicles are already hybrid. Employees also have access to four new e-charging points. By 2025, 80 per cent of company cars will be hybrid vehicles.
At our branch in Schöllnach/Germany, not only were e-charging stations installed, but two hybrid and four e-vehicles were also purchased in 2023. This means that over 25 per cent of company vehicles are already "green".
Austria & Germany: Discounted bikes
Since autumn 2022, MACO employees have had the opportunity to lease bicycles and e-bikes from MACO at low cost - with a price advantage of up to 30 percent. Over 130 employees have already taken advantage of this offer. Good for health, good for the environment.
In addition, e-charging stations for bicycles will be installed at all locations in Austria in 2024.
