Lean and Green

Zijderlaan participates in Lean & Green's CO2 reduction program. In 2019, we received the 1st Lean & Green STAR Award for achieving 24% CO2 reduction within 5 years. In 2023, this was joined by the second star. Among other things, we have achieved these goals by efficiently deploying our trucks resulting in lower CO2 per ton/km. Every day, our professional planning departments and drivers strive to minimize empty miles, drive the most efficient routes and move as economically as possible in traffic.

Naturally, we have the ambition to achieve a 3rd STAR Award as well. For this we will continue to improve sustainably and work intensively with our clients to reduce CO2.
