These measures reflect the company’ s broader approach to sustainable logistics.
In its 2022 sustainability report, Reiner Roß, CEO of the company, emphasised the importance of integrating sustainability into every aspect of business:“ It has never been more important to view sustainability not as a passing trend but as an integral part of a company’ s philosophy.
“ Only then can ecological, economic and social measures grow equally and contribute today and for future generations. In the current time of political uncertainty, sustainable thinking and above all, sustainable action are crucial for a liveable environment.”
These principles are particularly relevant in healthcare logistics, where precise environmental controls are essential for maintaining the integrity of pharmaceuticals and other sensitive products.
Looking ahead The acquisition of Frigo-Trans and BPL strengthens UPS’ s position as a global leader in healthcare logistics.
By expanding its network across Europe and integrating innovative, sustainable practices, the company is well-placed to meet the growing demands of the pharmaceutical and biotech industries.
The deal, now finalised, reflects a broader trend of logistics providers adapting to the increasing complexity of supply chains.
As healthcare customers continue to require faster and more reliable solutions, UPS is aiming to lead the way.
