Schenker Arkas continues its efforts to protect the environment



In today's highly competitive environment, companies create distinct value not only with their capital but with the quality of service provided to shareholders and their concern for the community and environment. Schenker Arkas conducts its operations with awareness of these values, and, in addition to possessing the ISO 9001:2000 certificate..

It has also successfully completed the process for inspection of the environmental management system, thus earning the right to receive the ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management System Certificate.

The Environmental Management System Certificate validates the fact that institutions make efforts to minimize any negative impact on the environment during their operations.

Schenker Arkas invests in the future

With its ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management System Certificate and the contributions of its shareholders, Schenker Arkas believes it will achieve even greater success. The company has been a pioneer in many areas related to the sector and aims to continue its efforts so that future generations inherit a clean and healthy environment.
Schenker Arkas continues its efforts to protect the environment from the negative effect of industrial operations, and after receiving the quality assurance certificate, it then obtained the ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management System Certificate.
In its transportation operations, Schenker Arkas prefers to use vehicles that comply with the Euro 4 standard, which reduces exhaust emissions. Waste is separated and recycled in all of its offices and warehouses, contributing even more to the economy. It also organizes educational and awareness programs to encourage the efficient use of resources such as water, electricity and fuel.

Intelligent solutions to the threat of global warming
Scenarios for disaster related to the results of global warming, a topic frequently discussed in the national press recently, have created some concern. Scientific research has shown that the transportation sector is responsible for 26% of the greenhouse gases, which are the primary cause of global warming. Based on its awareness of these facts, Schenker Arkas has determined what effect greenhouse gases have on the environment and is making efforts to reduce these effects.
