Environmentally conscious procurement
We strive to take greater account of environmental aspects when procuring products
and services. e procurement teams responsible for the various regions and material
groups work together on this. In the reporting year, for example, Procurement and the
Real Estate Lease department jointly negotiated a more economical lighting technology,
with which the divisions will retrot their locations.
As a logistics company, a low-emissions vehicle eet plays a central role in our
eorts to protect the environment. In Germany, , new .-tonne transporters and
Sprinters were put into operation, resulting in considerable reductions in nitrogen
oxide and soot particle emissions. In addition, Procurement assisted the divisions in pur-
chasing vehicles with alternative drive systems such as electric and hybrid technologies.
We describe the individual projects and the savings achieved in our Corporate
Responsibility Report, which we plan to publish on our website in the middle of April .
Purchasing systems for ecient procurement
e use of applications to procure goods and services more eciently increased
again considerably in the reporting year. Our GeT electronic ordering system, for instance,
was used mainly in Germany, the United States, Mexico and other European countries.
In the reporting year, we introduced the system in countries in the Asia Pacic region
as well as in seven countries in Latin America. Further expansion is planned in Europe
and Latin America in .
We also use e-sourcing to make our processes ecient and transparent. is allows
us to handle all the steps in the tender process electronically.
Research and development
As a service provider, the Group does not engage in research and development
activities in the narrower sense and therefore has no signicant expenses to report in
this connection.
