LOGISTICS THAT LOOKS BEYOND THE NEXT DELIVERY.
Every shipment requires execution. But responsible business means more than delivering today. That's why, at Jan de Rijk Logistics, we look at the impact of our choices. On the environment. On our people. On customers, partners and the chain we operate in.
For us, ESG isn't a separate programme sitting alongside the operation. It's part of how we plan, drive, work together, improve and take responsibility.
MORE THAN A TICK-BOX EXERCISE.
ESG isn't just about rules, reports or certificates. It's about the way a logistics organisation makes choices. Which fuel fits this route? How do we keep people safe and engaged? How do we protect data? How do we work with suppliers? And how do we make progress visible to customers?
Those questions are part of our day-to-day operations. That's why we translate ESG into practical steps that work in the reality of transport, warehousing and supply chains.
FROM MATERIAL TOPICS TO CONCRETE STEPS.
Responsible business starts with knowing where your impact lies. That's why we map out our key ESG topics. We look at what matters to customers, employees, partners, management and the wider chain.
These insights help us set priorities. Not everything at once. But step by step improvement. With choices that fit our operation and add value for the people and organisations around us.
Responsibility starts with knowing where you can make a difference.
RESPONSIBLE LOGISTICS STARTS WITH CLEAR CHOICES.
ESG only gains value once it's clear where you take responsibility. That's why we work from three pillars that connect directly to our day-to-day operations. We look at our impact on the planet, the care we take of our people and the way we do business with integrity and care. These three belong together. Because sustainable logistics requires lower emissions, good people and clear agreements.
This is how we make ESG concrete. Not as standalone policy, but as direction for better choices in transport, warehousing, collaboration and the wider chain.
REDUCING OUR FOOTPRINT, ROUTE BY ROUTE.
As a logistics organisation, we know where our impact lies. It sits mainly in transport, fleet, energy and planning. That's why we look at each flow to see which step has the most effect. Sometimes HVO100 is the right choice. Sometimes electric transport. Sometimes a different route, smarter loading or better use of capacity.
This lets us reduce impact without compromising the reliability of the operation.
SUSTAINABLE CHOICES THAT WORK.
Sustainable logistics calls for solutions that fit the flow. Sometimes HVO100 is the right step. Sometimes electric transport. Sometimes different planning, better loading or smarter use of capacity.
We're becoming more sustainable step by step, without compromising the reliability of the operation.
GOOD WORK STARTS WITH GOOD PEOPLE.
Logistics remains a people business. Drivers, planners, warehouse staff, technicians and specialists keep the operation moving every day. That’s why ESG is also about safe working conditions, fair terms of employment, training, health, engagement and a working environment where people can do their jobs well. Our responsibility doesn’t stop with our own employees. We also expect partners, subcontractors and suppliers to work carefully, safely and with respect.
We invest in expertise, clear processes and respectful collaboration. Because good service is only possible with good people.
TRANSPARENCY IS OUR STANDARD.
Good governance is about trust. About how you make decisions, keep to agreements and uphold responsibility. At Jan de Rijk Logistics, we work with clear agreements and policies covering integrity, anti-corruption, quality, safety, privacy, information security, ethics, risk management, reporting procedures and collaboration with partners.
Governance helps us manage risk, protect data, carefully assess suppliers and do business fairly. We follow developments in European regulation, such as CSRD and supply chain responsibility, and prepare our organisation for these step by step.
RESPONSIBLE CHOICES ACROSS THE CHAIN.
ESG doesn’t stop at our own organisation. Our choices affect customers, partners, suppliers, subcontractors and the communities we operate in. That’s why we look at the entire chain. At fuel, planning, safety, data, reporting, suppliers and collaboration.
We also expect careful, safe and honest conduct from partners and suppliers. Through clear agreements, screening and, where appropriate, a supplier code of conduct, we make that responsibility concrete.
Responsibility is not a separate track. It is how we move forward.
ASSURANCE THAT GOES BEYOND POLICY.
ESG requires assurance. That’s why we work with external assessments, certifications and audits that help make our performance visible and drive further improvement. Our certifications and assessments cover topics such as quality, environment, information security and corporate social responsibility. Think ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001 and EcoVadis.
For customers, this builds trust. For us, it provides direction. Not as an endpoint, but as a tool to reduce risk and make improvements concrete
FROM POLICY TO MEASURABLE PROGRESS.
EcoVadis helps make ESG performance visible and improve it in a targeted way. In 2026, our EcoVadis score rose to 52 points, up from 41 points in 2025. A clear step forward.
For us, that score isn’t an endpoint. It confirms the direction we’ve taken and gives us a tool to keep improving on environment, people, ethics and sustainable procurement.
Better every year. Clearer every step.
ESG WITH VALUE FOR CUSTOMERS.
Customers want logistics that’s reliable, demonstrable and future-proof. Our ESG approach helps answer practical questions. How do you reduce emissions? How do you get better insight into scope 3? How do you ensure safety? How do you work with partners who take responsibility? And how do you make progress visible?
We think it through with you, from an operational perspective. With choices that fit your flow, your reporting needs and your chain.
