ONE Europe and Africa has successfully achieved full ISO 14001 certification for the landside operations of its inland haulage services. The business has been working tirelessly to bring in new processes to enhance its environmental performance in order to be compliant with the necessary accreditation. ONE already achieved ISO 14001 for marine operations back in 2018.
The ISO 14001 certification is a globally recognised credential which demonstrates an organisation has adopted an approved environmental management system (EMS) to control their environmental impact and enhance sustainability throughout their supply chain. This includes not only having systems in place internally but also evaluating all suppliers working with ONE to try to ensure the whole supply chain is green.
Europe and Africa is a region which has a very high level of carrier haulage and the ISO 14001 certification in landside operations complement the robust environmental standards that the company already adheres to.
In addition to bringing in new processes, the business has also organised environmental activities for employees, such as river and beach clean-ups, to encourage colleagues to have a greener mentality and think about their individual impact on the environment.
The new certification demonstrates ONE’s dedication to reducing their carbon footprint and is part of their ongoing commitment to reduce their environmental impact on the supply chain globally.
Established in July 2017 and operational since April 1st 2018, Japan’s 3 largest shipping companies MOL, K-Line and NYK merged their container shipping business to form Ocean Network Express (ONE). As a result of the integration, ONE is now the 6th largest container shipping company in the world and provides a network service covering over 120 countries with a fleet capacity of 1.61 million TEU and over 220 vessels. ONE employs about 8,000 people worldwide and is based in Singapore with regional headquarters in Hong Kong, Singapore, London, Richmond and Sao Paulo.
