Our vision
Sustainable growth
With global supply chains becoming increasingly complex, we are focused on leveraging our leading global network to create long-term value and sustainable growth for our customers, employees, shareholders and society as a whole. We remain mindful of the environmental impact of our services, driving down resource consumption as well as providing our customers with options to reduce emissions.
We pursue profitable above-market growth, and we aim to gain market share across our three divisions and the markets we operate in. We also monitor the market for relevant, value-creating acquisitions to complement our organic growth.

Our mission
Operational excellence
As our global organisation becomes larger, the geographical footprint more diverse and the services we offer to our customers more advanced, our foundation will always be operational excellence.
We do this by creating efficient and sustainable global trade flows for our customers and by combining the talent of our strong workforce with scalable physical and digital infrastructure facilitating efficient workflows. By defining and standardising our service offerings across geographies and divisions, we enable digitalisation and automation and consistently high service levels.
