Scope of pledges
Programme status. Each participant carries a programme status that reflects the overall progress of its commitments: Engaged (commitments taken, work starting), Shaper (concrete measures under way), Leader (ambitious commitments largely delivered), Champion (the highest level, all commitments achieved and renewed). This status evolves over time.
Pledge levels. Every pledge is classified by ambition level, from 1 to 3, shown as dots next to its thematic. Level 1: a first, foundational commitment. Level 2: a concrete, measurable action with a defined target and timeline. Level 3: the most ambitious commitment, structural and verified against recognised standards.
Progress. Each pledge shows its progress: In progress (work under way within the agreed timeline), Achieved (target reached and validated), Delayed (timeline extended). Alumni companies keep their last recorded pledges and levels.

| # | Pledge | Thematic · Level | Progress | SDGs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | By 2030, we reduce our tCO2eq emissions (Scope 1 & 2) by at least 80 % compared with 2023, in line with the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi).*
* We achieve this by converting our vehicle fleet to fossil-free drive systems and procuring electricity and heating/cooling from largely renewable sources.
Feasibility review of joining the SBTi by the end of 2026, see also 2nd environmental target. |
ClimateLevel 2 | In progress | 13 |
| 2 | By 2030, we reduce our tCO2eq emissions in Scope 3 by 20 % compared with 2023, in line with the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi).*
* We achieve this by switching to lower tCO2eq, recyclable and fossil-free products.
Priority 1: Non-medical products with high tCO2eq emissions, high turnover, relatively easy substitution potential: e.g. towels, napkins, toilet paper, incontinence and care products
Priority 2: Products with high tCO2eq emissions, high turnover, medium substitution potential (medical and non-medical products)
Priority 3: Predominantly medical products, longer planning horizon, more difficult to convert. |

| 3 | By 2030, suppliers of 75 % of our purchasing volume are assessed according to ESG criteria based on the Global Reporting Initiative and have a ‘good’ to ‘very good’ ESG rating.*
* As a logistics company, we commit to ensuring that all suppliers meet the highest sustainability standards by 2035 in order to make our supply chain more climate-friendly and socially responsible. This includes continuous assessment and close collaboration with our key suppliers to promote sustainability and ethical business practices. |

| 5 | By 2025 and annually after that, we guarantee two apprenticeship places yearly for young people with special needs, and create a reliable bridge between the young people and the training companies to ensure lasting career prospects.*
* In addition to the two regular apprenticeships.
