Schenker Vietnam Attains ISO certification for Environment Management

Schenker Vietnam has been certified ISO14001:2004 compliant for its Environment Management System in both the Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City locations. The audit and certification was undertaken by the Vietnam representative of TÜV SÜD PSB Vietnam.

Jürgen Braunbach, MD said, “Being one of the first international logistics and forwarding companies in Vietnam granted the ISO 14001 certification on environment management, we need to further develop and continue to integrate the environment and economic objectives into the our business, as well as into the supply chains that we manage for our customers.”

Within the “DB Eco Program” of DB Group, the company has developed suites of Green Logistics Lighthouse Projects, which cover extensive products, tools and services such as green consulting, green terminals, green logistics networks, green road, green products, as well as the carbon calculation tool EcoTransit. The group will reduce its specific carbon output worldwide, ie, its carbon emissions relative to its transportation volume, by 20 percent between 2006 and 2020.
