The role of ESG in our operations

GLS Group is committed to responsible growth based on ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) principles. This approach helps guide its activities, supporting efforts to reduce its environmental impact, protect its employees and ensure transparent governance throughout the supply chain.

As part of this commitment, GLS France fully aligns with the GLS Group's strategy and shares the same ESG ambitions. We implement these principles at a local level, adapting them to the French context with a clear objective: reducing our carbon footprint, fostering an inclusive workplace, supporting local initiatives across France and strengthening our governance.

Our ESG efforts in France

Our commitments are structured around three main priorities.

Environment

Every day, we transport thousands of parcels across France. That is why we are committed to reducing our carbon emissions across our operations.
