Panalpina Publishes Second Integrated Management Report
The Panalpina Integrated Management Report 2017 gives an overview of the company’s strategy and business model, the performance of its regions and products, and its approach to sustainability management. For the second year, the report integrates the discussion of Panalpina’s business performance and sustainability.
Based on the results of a new materiality assessment, the report includes the methods Panalpina used in 2017 to engage with its stakeholders and to assess its impacts on the environment and the communities where it operates. Prepared in accordance with Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, the report demonstrates Panalpina’s comprehensive approach to analyzing its inputs and activities and evaluating how sustainability relates to its strategy.
The report discusses Panalpina’s approach to understanding and addressing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from subcontracted transportation services, how it is promoting environmental innovation, the important role that training plays in the company’s value creation process, and how a culture focused on health and safety performance is central to the company’s success.
During the year, Panalpina continued its commitment to reducing its environmental impact, with a focus on GHG emissions; these were reduced by 5 percent from 2016 levels. Total energy use decreased by 7 percent, while the use of paper decreased by 9 percent due to Panalpina’s continued deployment of paperless processes. And as a demonstration of community engagement, employees organized over 400 charitable and environmental activities during Panalpina’s Global Sustainable Action Week.
