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.

HVO - A Step in the Right Direction
5
Significant Emission Reductions:
HVO leads to a substantial reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional diesel, helping companies meet environmental targets and regulations.
Compatibility with Existing Vehicles:
HVO can be used in existing diesel engines without modifications, making it a cost-effective solution for companies wanting to become more sustainable without large initial investments.
Improved Corporate Image:
By using HVO, companies can strengthen their brand as environmentally conscious and responsible, which is attractive to both customers and potential employees.
Reduced Exposure to Fossil Fuel Prices:
Using HVO can provide greater predictability in fuel costs and reduce the company’s dependence on the often unpredictable prices of fossil fuels.
Support for the Renewable Energy Industry:
By choosing HVO, companies support the development of renewable fuels, which can help drive innovation and development in green energy technology.
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

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!
