To identify technical problems with an impact on emissions at an early stage, we subject all commercial vehicles to regular maintenance in our in-house workshops.

In 2019, our warehouse logistics operations posted CO₂ emissions of 8 grams per kilogram of goods. This corresponds to an extremely pleasing reduction of 16.9% CO₂ per processed kilogram compared to the previous year. We measure the performance of our value creation in warehouse logistics using indicators such as deadline quotas, warehouse set-up errors and on time in full (OTIF). The more precisely and thus resourcefully we manage warehouse orders, the greater our OTIF figure. In other words: thanks to precision and quality in warehouse logistics, we reduce our CO₂ equivalence in warehouse logistics.

We also conduct comprehensive facility management for all company properties and carry out preventive maintenance on them. Since 2014, we have collected and analysed the energy consumption of our 14 high-consumption locations with over 500 MWh of electricity consumption per year. For these properties, we have concluded a target agreement with the site cantons and the federal government and maintain compliance through recurring and regular measures. In terms of the energy balance of our buildings, we strive to achieve net-zero emissions wherever possible.

A healthy working environment and fair working conditions are important to us. We maintain a generous social insurance policy. Moreover, our employees benefit from attractive preferential rates for health and accident insurance.

We maintain an ongoing dialogue with our employees. This exchange promotes our company’s development and innovative strength. We include our employees in decisions wherever possible, such as when designing workspaces or working-time models.

Qualified employees are our most important asset. We maintain two company-owned training centres with a driving school and training workshop. We primarily recruit driving instructors and instructors from our own ranks. For the first five days of their employment, we introduce new drivers to the Planzer environment at our training centres.

In 2019, over 350 apprentices worked for us. That amounts to 8.91% of our total group workforce. We aim to keep at least two-thirds of apprentices on after their apprenticeships. Our average is around 60%.

We have local roots and work far beyond the country’s borders. That’s also why we get involved in the community. We support various organisations with financial resources and benefits in kind. The topics of mobility, safety and sustainability are particularly important to us.
