Environmental protection
Our aim: reduce emissions, optimise transport and protect the environment
As a moving company we are very aware of our responsibility for environmental protection. Indeed, we make this important area one of the crucial parts of our sustainability concept.
For all forms of transport, whether by truck, air freight or sea freight, our aim is to keep pollution to a minimum. That's why we use low-emission vehicles with the highest possible EURO-norm level.
We also make a special effort to optimise capacities by combining shipments where possible. By utilising different load-sharing systems, we help to reduce the amount of trucks travelling empty by organising part- and return loads. Our flexible partner network helps us to achieve this and to pass on the benefits to our customers. Improved transport capacities = fewer empty trips = lower costs. And the environment benefits too.
When choosing airlines and shipping lines we also place great importance on choosing carriers with a responsible and sustainable environmental concept.
Prevention is better than wastage – environmental protection can be so simple
Our efforts to protect the environment are not just restricted to the choice of transport mode. When it comes to waste management, for example with used packing materials, our philosophy is simple: waste prevention is better than recycling, and better than disposal. Where possible we utilise re-usable equipment. For every move.
Equipment like picture safes, PC crates and couch covers make the use of plastic and cardboard unnecessary. On office moves, one book trolley replaces up to 11 boxes - and can be used up to 45 times.
Composite materials are never used at Henk International and every day in the office we check that energy is not wasted and that waste is recycled where possible.
