Making the World a Better Place One Move at a Time
At MF Interlogistics in Denmark we understand the importance of acting against climate change and playing our role in making the world a better place. We are constantly working to minimize our environmental impact and implementing the best green practices in all our business activities. We have teamed up with the green consulting company Provice in Denmark to calculate our emissions and to advice and consult about how we can decrease our emissions further.
Our carbon accounting demonstrates that CO2 consumption has been reduced by 50% from 2020 to 2022, and we have decreased our emissions by 25.76% from 2021 to 2022. Managing Director Victor Helgogaard said, “We have a huge responsibility to provide customers with climate-friendly and responsibly arranged relocations. And we are very aware that we borrow and use society's shared resources to do so.”
Our efforts were acknowledged as we were nominated for the Green Transport Award 2023 in Denmark amongst eight other big operators within the transport industry in Denmark, selected by DTL (the Danish Transport Organization).
At MF, we have implemented several initiatives to ensure that the moving experience is as environmentally friendly as possible. As a climate-conscious company, we are committed to the green transition and have a documented carbon footprint that showcases our progress and ongoing efforts to reduce CO2 emissions.
Collaboration is a key aspect of our approach. We actively engage with partners and participate in joint initiatives to address global environmental and social challenges. Through successful partnerships with environmental organizations, local communities, and government agencies, we promote sustainable practices. These collaborations have led to initiatives focused on reforestation, waste reduction, and community engagement programs that highlight the power of collective action in creating positive change at both local and global levels.
Balancing business goals with long-term sustainability and social responsibility is a top priority for us. We have integrated corporate social responsibility (CSR) into our business practices by implementing sustainability targets and performance indicators. Our strategies include regular assessments of our environmental footprint, promotion of ethical practices throughout the supply chain, support for local communities, and investments in employee well-being and development. By aligning our business goals with sustainable practices, we strive to create a positive impact while ensuring long-term success.
Educating our customers about the importance of sustainability in the moving industry is crucial to us. Through various channels such as our website, customer communications, and marketing materials, we provide information about our commitment to sustainable practices. We emphasize the benefits of choosing eco-friendly moving options, such as the use of recyclable packaging materials and energy-efficient transportation. Additionally, we offer tips and resources on waste reduction, recycling, and making environmentally conscious choices during the moving process. By raising awareness and providing guidance, we empower our customers to make sustainable choices and contribute to a greener future.
To further support our commitment to sustainability, we have developed a carbon footprint calculator that allows us to calculate emissions for each individual move. This valuable information is shared with our clients, enabling them to make informed choices. Within our service options, clients can even choose greener moving alternatives.
We have successfully reduced our CO2 emissions from 2020 to 2022, and we are dedicated to continuing this trend in the years ahead. By focusing on our carbon footprint, we have also improved operational efficiency, resulting in cost savings. We pass on these benefits to our customers in the form of competitive prices.
MF is committed to actively contributing to Denmark's climate goals, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 70% by 2030 compared to the 1990 level. Our strong green brand not only benefits the environment but also strengthens our trusted reputation, which is important to us and our customers. Every day, we strive to be part of the solution rather than the problem. Our carbon accounting and sustainable initiatives not only benefit the environment but also engage and motivate our employees. This engagement leads to a more motivated and productive team, ready to meet your moving needs efficiently and effectively.
Transparency is another core value for us. We are open about our carbon footprint and our efforts to reduce it. We believe that transparency is key to building trust and fostering long-lasting relationships with our customers. You can rely on us to provide transparent information and updates on our sustainability journey.
