Sustainability
Solid partner for your ESG needs
The Gosselin Group has been operating since 1930, with a strong in-house structure across Europe in line with our mission. Therefore, we are ready to take action and have the necessary resources to do so. However, as we are devoted to our clients, we are agile in responding to their needs and committed to providing them with the best value for money.
Being conscious and devoted
What does sustainability mean to us?
Sustainability is more than environmental improvements. It’s also about ethics, health, equality, working conditions… Gosselin acknowledges that, given the complex value chain of its logistics and national and international moving activities, it belongs to one of the sectors that makes targeted action difficult. Despite these challenges, we too want to transition to sustainable and innovative mobility and logistics services. Gosselin’s sustainability strategy is built around the triple bottom line of people, planet and prosperity, which closely aligns with the SDG philosophy.
For us, sustainability is an integrated effort at all levels of management and across all departments. A single "sustainability department" cannot drive organisational change without the support of all internal and external stakeholders. The Sustainability Focus Group includes relevant people from the HSE, Quality, HR, IT and Finance departments, as well as top management.
Our ESG Priorities
We prioritize real action over big promises. Our sustainability journey is built on pragmatic, cost-effective steps that lead to verifiable progress. Through a double materiality assessment, we have identified key projects that drive our transition to smarter and cleaner logistics.
Environmental projects
We optimize our operations to minimize the environmental footprint of your logistic and mobility needs.
- Modal Shift: We invest in our own terminals in Antwerp and Genk to move more freight by water, offering a lower-carbon alternative to traditional road transport. Complementing this water-bound approach, we invest in electric trucks for our last-mile deliveries to further reduce our carbon footprint.
- Our Notabrownbox initiative replaces single-use materials with reusable packaging systems, drastically cutting waste in the international moving industry.
- Our FIDI Carbon Calculator offers the precise data you need to track the carbon footprint of your international shipments.
- We invest in solar-powered warehouses and the ongoing electrification of our fleet to reduce our environmental impact.
- Our Inza-site and Genk warehouses are BREEAM-certified, showing our focus on sustainable and green buildings.
Social activities
Sustainability begins with the people who do the work. Gosselin invests in a safe, inclusive, and stimulating work environment.
- We invest in the expertise of our 1500+ employees through continuous training at the Gosselin Academy.
- As a signatory of the European Declaration on Equal Treatment, we ensure an inclusive and respectful environment for all our employees.
- Social Commitment: supporting local communities through charity, reforestation, and river clean-ups; fostering talent via university partnerships and international internships.
Governance topics
- Ensuring an ethical supply chain through ISO 14001, ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and EcoVadis certification; upholding the European Declaration on Equal Treatment for women and men; and integrating human rights and diversity policies into our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct.
Road map
Action plan
In December 2024, we became the first moving company in history to introduce CO₂ offsets for private moves in Poland as a temporary measure, through a pilot project. This enabled our private customers to offset the CO2 emissions generated during their house move. Under no circumstances does this substitute real positive impact.
Our plan is to first establish a baseline of data in order to monitor progress in all areas of the ESG categories. Reporting lines have been set up. KPIs and targets with deadlines are being developed for all reportable topics of the ESRS. The Gosselin Group is improving its methodology with regard to the assessment of double materiality and the inventory of impacts, risks and opportunities.
In line with the forthcoming Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the Group aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. While we can manage our own operations, we cannot achieve full decarbonisation of our value chain without the intensive involvement of clients and suppliers. All of this is also dependent on appropriate legislation being in place.
Our SDG Goals
At Gosselin, we use the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to guide our business. We have selected specific goals where we can make a real difference.
For us, it is about taking action and being transparent about our progress. We focus on results that matter for our industry and the environment.
