We use various modes of transport and apply the latest findings from research and development to minimise emissions of exhaust gases and pollutants in road transport. Today, we already transport 60% of our transport volume via our 12 rail centres using low-emission rail transport. That amounts to 11 million clean rail kilometres every year. In 2025, we were able to avoid 42 327 truck trips or 7277 tonnes of CO₂ emissions.  

Using the latest telematics and fleet management software solutions, we are continuously optimising our vehicle fleet and the CO₂ emissions of our vehicles. All of our diesel vehicles have met the Euro 6 emission standards since 2022. The electrification of vehicles in city logistics and urban transport is a top priority for our fleet management. It will have a significant impact on mobility in these areas. This is why we prefer to use electric trucks, electric delivery vans and small electric motorbikes for last-mile delivery in noise-polluted zones, and we even have two horse-drawn carriages in Zermatt. We are also actively driving forward the switch to fuels with significantly lower CO₂ emissions, such as hydrogenated vegetable oil.

We’ve been a member of the Energy Agency for Industry (EnAW) since 2014 and have agreed energy consumption reduction targets with the federal government. The measures we’ve implemented will enable us to continuously reduce our carbon footprint. On behalf of our customers, we manage and store goods on more than 1.45 million m² of storage area in Switzerland and in neighbouring Germany (Singen, Pfullendorf, Achern) and Italy (Como, Lainate, Vercelli and Pomezia). In accordance with the multi-user warehouse principle, we consolidate similar goods from different customers at various locations in order to optimise the use of the infrastructure in terms of energy, resources and costs.

Our Planzer Workbench innovation programme aims to promote the ideas of employees and external partners, and turn them into small improvements or groundbreaking innovations across all areas. Solutions that are closely linked to our core business and which create added value for customers, employees and society are rated ‘innovative’.

We use city logistics to deliver goods efficiently to Swiss city centres. Shipments travel to the urban rail centre at night, where they are consolidated and distributed using low-emission vehicles. A flagship project for city logistics is the ‘Planzer – Dynamic Micro Hub with LOXO’. For more information, read on below.

We have strong local roots and work both within and beyond our country’s borders. In other words, in some places, we are part of the region and the communities that live there. That’s why we are committed to playing our part in society by supporting various organisations, whether financially or through practical help.
