The future at a glance
Sustainability
As a family-owned company, we think and act in generations to build a sustainable future. This involves our employees, customers, business partners and other interested stakeholders working together to deliver sustainable and environmentally-friendly growth and to create added value along the supply chain in the long term. HOYER considers sustainability to be crucial to its business. We establish ESG (Environmental Social Governance) strategy targets and governance to implement our sustainability vision.
ENVIRONMENT
HOYER promotes sustainable solutions when dealing with carbon emissions and natural resources. We focus on energy and water management, emissions and waste reduction, and strive for closed-loop recycling management.
Despite challenges such as substantial fuel and water consumption, HOYER is enhancing its positive impacts through operating modern truck fleets, utilizing alternative fuels and powertrains as well as renewable energy, and ensuring high recycling rates for deployed assets. In addition, we aim to make our solutions accessible on a global scale by applying the book-and-claim model.
SOCIAL
HOYER takes responsibility for its employees and for society. We prioritize continuous improvement in health and safety, we uphold employee development, diversity, equity and inclusion, and we are committed to fulfilling human rights.
Our positive contributions include supporting local establishments and people through the Friedel and Walter Hoyer Foundation. We also ensure good working conditions for our workforce, on whose know-how and experience we rely, to provide high-quality, safe, sustainable logistics solutions. Our company values and Code of Conduct emphasize the importance we place on fair treatment and equal opportunities. As well as endorsing human rights, we care for the rights, health, wellbeing and safety of our employees and of other participants in the value-added chain.
GOVERNANCE
HOYER upholds high standards of business conduct in order to ensure responsible operations and practices in the supply chain. These include complying with applicable laws and regulations in every country in which we operate, ranging from business conduct to social and environmental topics.
Focus is also put on the secure handling of information and IT, as well as on sustainable procurement, which is based on a reliable supplier network built on trust and regular compliance checks. To ensure ethical behavior, to manage risks and to improve our organization, we promote an open feedback culture. In addition, employees and third parties can also use an anonymous whistleblower system.
