In January of this year GEODIS committed to the Science Based Targets Initiative. GEODIS´ global targets are to reduce our scope 1 & 2 CO2 emissions by 42% and to decreasing the carbon intensity of subcontracted transport (scope 3) by 2030 compared to 2022.
GEODIS Denmark has just taken the first big step on this reduction journey and switched to 100% renewable energy already from January 2024.

“When we started the process, we were looking for a more low-carbon alternative to what we had before. We chose EWII* and now our electricity is 100% renewable. This means we have reduced our CO2 footprint by almost 40 tons per year. We are very proud to support this very necessary and important initiative and to have taken a significant leap towards reaching our target,” says Kent Husted, Managing Director, GEODIS Denmark.
Under the terms of the EWII certificate, which is valid from 01.01.2024 to 31.12.2025, the energy supplier certifies that GEODIS Denmark purchases its entire electricity consumption as renewable electricity. EWII ensures that 100% of the electricity consumption comes from sources such as wind turbines, solar panels, hydroelectric power, and biomass.
In line with its efforts to reduce its carbon footprint, GEODIS Denmark has also changed all lighting to LED and bought new computer screens that use a third less electricity than previous screens. In addition, the company offers four charging points for electric vehicles at each of its branches in Kastrup and Vejle and is planning to expand this later this year.
