GN Transport wants, in everything we do, to reduce our ecological footprint for a more sustainable development in climate and environment. Equally important, we consider social sustainability for everyone who works with us.
We use the UN’s climate work and the Paris Agreement as a guiding principle for our group to minimize its emissions and in other ways within the business to compensate towards being climate neutral in the long run.

Interview about sustainability with one of our customers
As part of our work with social sustainability, we have continuous follow-up with our customers where we evaluate the current situation and see how we can improve our service in the future.
However, all our sustainability work is primarily based on one thing; high customer satisfaction. This will constantly be in focus, without satisfied customers there will be no business to develop. Just as in all social sustainability, this is a continuous work and all employees in the group know the importance of maintaining high service and constantly striving to put the customer at the center.

We work with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Effectively achieving sustainability on a global scale requires everyone, individuals and companies, to work towards the right and common goals. This is why GN Transport uses the UN Sustainable Development Goals, which we try to incorporate into our organization in as many ways as possible.
LED exemplifies GN's sustainability efforts
We at GN Transport believe in looking at every single detail to reduce the footprint we make on the climate and the environment. As part of this, major work has begun to renew the lighting in all premises.
Switching to LED lighting is obviously a good way to reduce the impact on the environment. At the same time, it is a way to make investments more cost-effective. To date, we have made investments in LED lighting that are estimated to more than halve our kilowatt hours per year.
This investment is made in our main terminal and we are continuously working to make investments to update and, if necessary, renew lighting in the remaining terminals and premises owned by GN Transport.
Savings from LED lighting
- Previous luminaires: 205 older fluorescent tubes
- Consumption: 116w/fixture
- 205pcs x 116w = 23780w
- New fixtures: 205 LED lights
- Consumption: 57w/fixture
- 205pcs x 57w = 11685w
- Estimated working time at the terminal per year: 6968 hours.
- Previous fixtures = 165 699Kwh/year
- New fixtures = 81 421Kwh/year
- Savings = 84 278Kwh/year
ISO Certificate - A mark of good sustainability performance
Quality is of great importance to us, having the ISO 9001 certificate and using the guidelines to improve our overall service quality is a matter of course. The quality standards of the ISO 9001 norm are maintained in all offices.
ISO 14001 is used to manage and set up environmental management systems. All rules relating to environmental policy within the organization are incorporated. GN Transport currently holds this certification and is used as a guideline for daily operations throughout the group.

Association Life - GN's path to social sustainability
Associations have always been close to the heart of GN Transport as a result of a strong interest in sport. Being able to help associations contributes both to strengthening the municipalities in our vicinity, but it also gives the athletes, adults and children, the opportunity to get physical activity and socialize. Therefore, we are happy to sponsor locally based associations.
Does your association also want a relationship? We are always open to discuss different sponsorships that can benefit both parties for a better social sustainability and a good mutual exchange. Together with you, we can contribute to a better world!
