About us
Sustainability
Environmental. Economic. Social.
We act today while thinking about tomorrow
Environmental, economic and social thinking and action are among the five fundamental values that underlie the principles of our work at 7Days. Together, we as a company strive for sustainable development by striking a balance between these three pillars.
It is our goal – as well as our joint duty – to make sure our entrepreneurial thinking and actions make sparing use of our resources. This applies to the environment, interaction with customers, suppliers, partners and employees, and also to the creation of overall economic solutions. As a fulfilment service provider we have the opportunity to optimize and refine the sustainability of companies’ supply chains.

Accepting social responsibility
Within the scope of our core business activities we strive to act responsibly towards the environment, in our relations with employees and in our interaction with relevant stakeholders. We thus create fair, transparent working conditions, rely on partnership-based cooperation with our suppliers and invest in training for the next generation of employees.Environmental solutions for a respectful attitude to the environment
We focus very closely on sustainable resource management, investing in new drive technologies for our vehicle fleet and testing them for their energy balance and practicality. In addition, we utilize systems to constantly optimize our delivery routes in an attempt to achieve the greatest possible consolidation or combination of individual groups of goods, taking account of the legal framework and customer requirements. 7Days has set itself the goal of making logistics greener.Overall economic solutions for a long-term, sustainable corporate orientation
Securing our commercial fundamentals in a competitive environment and dynamic markets is one of the top entrepreneurship priorities at 7Days, if we are to give the company a solid base and make it fit for the next generation. Together we strengthen our market position and successfully hold our own against our competitors, creating sustainable jobs with good working conditions and attractive wages. This is the only way for us to develop overall solutions for transportation and warehouse logistics in cooperation with our customers, thus establishing long-term partnerships along the value chain.«We are making our logistics greener in the long term, starting with small steps.»
