Together for the environment: OBO receives CO2 certificate from LKW WALTER

In Germany alone, we have a volume movement of around 80,000 tonnes per year.   We are constantly on the move and our trained specialists in the field of logistics ensure that our products are in the right place at the right time, while always keeping an eye on our environmental impact.

Just like at OBO, sustainability and environmental protection have been practised values at LKW WALTER for decades. Today, LKW WALTER is one of the leading providers of environmentally friendly transport solutions in Europe – with a CO₂ reduction of over 340,000 tons per year and is therefore a good example of how carefully we at OBO select our partners for a sustainable supply chain.

Last year, in cooperation with LKW WALTER, we put 2,541 trucks loaded with OBO products on the road. A toal of 736 of these trucks were intermodal transports, which is one option for “green transport”. This corresponds to 29% of the volume moved with our partner LKW WALTER. With LKW WALTER, OBO Hungary has transported a total of 498 loads, 298 of which in line with green transport. That’s 47.8%.

Among other things, green transport solutions stand for the increased use of transport partners who are driving forward the expansion of combined road and rail transport and are committed to shifting road transport to rail and sea. By using green transport solutions, we were able to reduce CO2 emissions by 671,242 kg in Germany and 224,844 kg in Hungary last year together with LKW WALTER. A remarkable amount and a great success on our way to a more sustainable future.
