To identify technical problems with an impact on emissions at an early stage, we subject all commercial vehicles to regular maintenance in our in-house workshops.

On behalf of our customers, we manage and store goods on more than 1.48 million m² of storage area in Switzerland and in neighbouring Germany (Singen, Pfullendorf, Achern) and Italy (Como, Lainate, Vercelli and Pomezia). Our logistics centres adopt the multi-user warehouse approach. This means that we can consolidate similar goods from different customers at various locations, thereby using the infrastructure in a way that optimises energy and resources.

We also conduct comprehensive facility management for all company properties and carry out preventive maintenance on them. We have been collecting and analysing energy consumption data for our high-consumption locations with over 500 MWh of electricity consumption per year since 2014 and are a member of the Energy Agency for Industry (EnAW). For these properties, we have concluded a target agreement with the site cantons and the federal government and maintain compliance through recurring and regular measures. In line with our high-consumption programme as part of the target agreement with the federal government, we voluntarily assessed the energy balance of a further 16 Planzer Group locations in 2024 and defined measures to reduce their energy consumption.

A healthy working environment and fair working conditions are important to us. We maintain a generous social insurance policy. Moreover, our employees benefit from attractive preferential rates for health and accident insurance.

We maintain an ongoing dialogue with our employees. This exchange promotes our company’s development and innovative strength. We include our employees in decisions wherever possible, such as when designing workspaces or working-time models.

Qualified employees are our most important asset. We maintain two company-owned training centres with a driving school and training workshop. We primarily recruit driving instructors and instructors from our own ranks. For the first five days of their employment, we introduce new drivers to the Planzer environment at our training centres.

The training of apprentices is of key importance to us. Under our own brand ‘Die Berufung’ (The Vocation), we are promoting ourselves in the field of vocational training and aim to attract new apprentices through our own apprenticeship website. In 2024, we had over 400 apprentices working for us for the first time. That amounts to 6.5% of our total group workforce. We aim to keep at least two-thirds of apprentices on after their apprenticeships. Our average is around 60%.

We have local roots and work far beyond the country’s borders. That’s also why we get involved in the community. We support various organisations with financial resources and benefits in kind. The topics of mobility, safety and sustainability are particularly important to us.
