Sustainability

Starts with Strategy

what is fracht forward?

With Fracht's growth to 160+ offices came the innate responsibility to use the framework laid by our founders to support a more sustainable future. Our global family has aligned values, an organic drive for change, and the heart to translate our words into action with our program, Fracht Forward.

Fracht Forward integrates sustainability at every level, combining top-down strategy with bottom-up innovation to set new benchmarks in the logistics industry.

By collaborating closely with customers and suppliers, we develop solutions that prioritize efficiency and environmental responsibility.

At Fracht-Polytra, sustainability isn’t merely an
add-on, it’s a core metric woven into our operational excellence, ensuring long-term impact and progress. It is a commitment that unites us all.

our approach 

Sustainability strategy Fracht Group_the Fracht Four

To have a structured approach to sustainability, we have developed the Fracht Four strategy - a structured framework that integrates the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and promotes collective progress.

The strategy is built on four interconnected pillars:

  1. People
  2. Prosperity
  3. Planet
  4. Responsibility

PEOPLE

Enhancing working conditions, safety, equity, and training; embedding sustainability in HR and leadership culture.

PROSPERITY

Fostering strategic partnerships and long-term collaboration to drive innovation and resilience in global supply chains; shaping industry standards through proactive policy development; ensuring ethical governance and compliance; and promoting sustainable growth that balances economic success with social and environmental responsibility.

PLANET

Reducing environmental impact across scopes 1, 2, and 3; developing green logistics solutions; investing in data systems to support climate action; and advancing sustainable procurement to ensure responsible sourcing throughout the supply chain

RESPONSIBILITY

Ensuring ethical standards, compliance, and integrity across all operations through robust systems of control and measurement; reinforced by partnerships and policies such as Fracht’s Code of Conduct, Supplier Code of Conduct, and social and environmental guidelines to drive accountability and sustainable business practices.

We are proud to be SBTi-compliant

Meaning our climate targets are officially validated by the Science Based Targets initiative. This globally recognized framework ensures that our emission reduction goals are aligned with the latest climate science and the ambition to limit global warming to well below 2°C — and ideally to 1.5°C — as outlined in the Paris Agreement.

By integrating these science-based targets into our strategy, we’re not just making promises — we’re delivering measurable progress for a sustainable future.
