Continued sustainable growth: Annual Report 2024

More convinced than ever that logistics is the link between industry and consumers, and buoyed by the solid performance recorded in 2023/24, FM Logistic focuses on operational excellence while relying on the three pillars of its sustainability strategy: acting for its employees (employee satisfaction rate at 90%), acting for the planet (warehouse GHG emissions halved in 2024), and acting with its partners (Net Promoter Score increase from 26 to 53).

Today, all decisions made aim to deploy omnichannel and sustainable supply chains that promote workplace well-being and encourage more responsible consumption. This year again, the commitment of the teams, energy-saving initiatives, and the trust of customers have been essential success factors, proving that the complementarity of actions is key to sustainability.

Let’s Supply Change: discover our CSR report

In late 2021, FM Logistic unveiled its Powering 2030 plan aimed at meeting omnichannel and urban logistics challenges by sustainably transforming its supply chains and achieving carbon neutrality across all its facilities by 2030. 

One year down the line and its ambition to chart a sustainable trajectory is as strong as ever, with initiatives like purchasing and producing sustainable energy increasing across the group. 

True to its “Supply Change” signature, the group’s CSR report rounds up the progress achieved on its path to sustainable development based on three priorities: taking care of employees, changing the environmental impact of its business and co-constructing a sustainable supply chain.

Impact report

We are committed to providing our stakeholders with accurate and reliable data on the impact of our activities on society and the environment.

At FM Logistic, we strongly believe in the importance of sustainable logistics. In 2018, we started an ambitious sustainability programme based on three pillars: taking care of our employees, changing the environmental footprint of our operations and co-designing a sustainable supply chain. This programme is the result of collective work, internally and externally. It is implemented in all countries where our group operates. Since 2019, FM Logistic reports on the main impacts of the company’s activity on the economy, society (jobs, health, education, …) and the environment (greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, …). This information is published in an interactive report that highlights the solutions we are implementing. We want to make a difference and take action for sustainable logistics and supply chain management.
