BGL Going Green

Because we connect businesses and individuals all over the world, it is important for us to think green and act sustainable. Our Going Green mission is centered on achieving specific goals and converting them into commitments.

1. Developing sustainable solutions

Efficient and effective global consolidation of shipments
As a global forwarder, we are dedicated to efficiently organizing transportation and making efficient use of all available transportation capacity.

Improving our paperless operational processes
Despite the transportation industry is a traditional one that places a high value on paper documents, it is evolving, and digital solutions are becoming more widely available.

Separating waste and only working with green power suppliers
Separating waste and contracting with green power suppliers is important for two reasons: it is better for the environment and it is handled properly.

Providing biodegradable, shrink-wrapped packages to our customers
When pelletizing or repackaging shipments, we make use of reusing packaging materials and sustainable packaging materials.

Investing in safe handling and storage of hazardous materials
Hazardous materials can endanger the environment and people if they are not handled properly. We invest time and resources in improving the knowledge of those who work on dangerous goods (DG) shipments.

2. Client pilots by using electric vehicles

Investing in electric mobility
We are proud of our valuable partners, with whom we can collaborate to implement sustainable logistics solutions that will allow us to establish electric vehicle transportation.

More efficiently and effectively
Alternative modes of transportation and multimodal logistics solutions are always on our watchlist.

3. Joining airline sustainable bio-fuel programs​

Committed to green logistics
Transitioning from fossil fuels to biofuels is a top priority for commercial aviation’s future. When compared to fossil fuels, biofuel can reduce carbon emissions by up to 80%.

4. Customized CO2 reporting

Consider BGL Going Green and act sustainable
The goal is to look back at the steps we’ve taken to improve our environmental performance and see how well they worked. We’ll keep track of CO2 emissions while transporting goods on behalf of our customers.

Carbon offsetting

We launched a Carbon Offset Program to assist customers calculate and offset their COemissions, with the goal of providing more sustainable transport through dedicated partners. We will offset all direct COemissions and are aiming to create a positive climate movement by 2030 and subsequent years, we set high standards and choose projects based on environmental benefits.

Measuring our performance

We closely monitor, measure, analyze, and improve our compliance with service level requirements, quality procedures, and environmental management systems. 

We assist in providing carbon footprint reports based on the shipped shipments. A detailed report will be generated for each mode of transport, including stopovers, pre-carriage and on-carriage.

This document serves as a guide for calculating CO2 emissions from transportation (air, sea and road freight).
