Sustainable development is an inherent part of Alsendo Group business model

ESG indicators

The “ESG” abbreviation refers to the words: “Environment”, “Social” and “Governance”. These terms refer to issues related to environmental protection, social responsibility and corporate governance. An economic activity will be considered sustainable once it meets certain criteria.

Environment – impact on the environment

This is a key aspect in the context of ESG, as it focuses on assessing the impact of companies’ activities on the natural environment. Company leaders should systematically monitor and be responsible for aspects related to climate change, air, water and soil pollution, consumption of natural resources, wildlife protection and waste management.

Social – social and employee relations

An area that focuses on ethical and responsible social management. The key social ESG topics include: corporate social responsibility, fair working conditions, diversity and inclusion, youth employment, employment of people with disabilities, sustainable resource management and the fight against poverty.

Governance – internal
order and management

Corporate governance is an area covering the principles and norms that guide companies in their relationships with owners, employees, contractors, customers and the communities in which they operate. Its scope includes, among others: principles of company management, information transparency, compliance with the law, protection of employee rights, quality of products and services and business responsibility.

UN Sustainable Development
Goals

We want to support the global transformation towards sustainable development and equal opportunities for all. The Alsendo Group’s ESG strategy refers to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established
by the United Nations.

The UN goals constitute an urgent call for action to all countries, either developed and developing, to come together to fight for a better future in global partnership.

As part of our strategy, we have identified areas where we can have a real impact on the fight against climate change, on the implementation of programs promoting gender equality and equal opportunities, as well as supporting human rights.

In order to maintain a balance between the Group’s constant development and responsibility for the natural environment, we strive to limit the negative impact of our activities, including: by reducing waste generated by our offices, eliminating plastic cutlery, separating waste and reducing energy consumption.

We are aware of our impact on the environment and climate change in the supply chain, which is why we cooperate with courier companies that comply with environmental protection regulations and constantly reduce their carbon footprint. We focus on eco-education and promote pro-ecological behavior among our business partners and customers.

We provide free guides: “Ecology in the courier industry” and “How to pack? a guide to packing courier shipments”, in which we share knowledge about how courier services affect climate change and how to minimize it by consciously choosing the most ecological courier solutions. We encourage you to use low-emission forms of sending and receiving, such as parcel machines, e.g. InPost® parcel lockers. We
educate on ecological packaging materials, and our pricing policy promotes point services.

We have become a partner of the InPost service – EKOreturns.

EKOreturns is a free and quick way to return things you no longer need. The service allows you to give them a second life in a convenient, quick and, above all, environment-friendly way. We are proud to support this initiative in the zero-waste spirit! We believe that together we will do a lot of good for our planet!
