Last week, Rico Schavemaker, director of our logistics partner Schavemaker BV, visited our site. He handed the certificate, showing the 2,716,137 kilograms of CO2 savings, to Martin van der Meer, our Director of Outbound Logistics. Schavemaker transports our steel to customers in the Ruhr region, using tipper trailers. On the return journey, they transport scrap, which we reuse in our production process in IJmuiden. 

‘We have the ambition to make the entire chain more sustainable and logistics is a significant part of that,’ says Martin van der Meer. ‘We are proud of this step which is complementary to previous measures, such as train transport running on green electricity and smartly opting for inland shipping instead of truck transport on a number of routes.’

Our customers may also benefit from this carbon savings. Through Zeremis® Delivered, they can claim these CO2 savings and reduce their carbon footprint in this manner.
