ABSTRACT

The ASG Group is one of northern Europe's leading transportation and logistics companies. Operations include road, rail, sea and air-based transport and logistics activities. ASG operates warehouses and terminals, and contracts most of its transport services. ASG managers have a clear strategic rationale for aggressively tackling the company's environmental impact. ASG customers are increasingly concerned about environmental performance. An important starting place for ASG was guiding an understanding of the process by which it develops transport and logistics services, and identifying the environmental impacts associated with each process step. The goal of ASG's seminars is to solidify its leadership position in environment and logistics. Its experience is that customers are becoming increasingly aware, requesting more and more details. ASG has been diligently building the foundation for sustainability as a core competence contributing to increased competitive advantage, shareholder value and customer value.
