Increased material reuse and recycling

"The objective of our Spring Green program is to neutralize the CO2 footprint generated by international parcel distribution; we will analyze at the level of each customer the environmental impact produced by the final distribution of our parcels that we will convert to the NGO Gold Standard to finance reforestation and the production of renewable energies. This action will be in addition to our recycling and reuse program for pallets, boxes and sacks and to our transportation and packaging efficiency program."
