By signing the United Nation Global Compact in July 2012 Mobeltransport Danmark has reaffirmed its long tradition of working with corporate responsibility.

In the words of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon: “The Global Compact asks companies to embrace universal principles and to partner with the United Nations. It has grown to become a critical platform for the UN to engage effectively with enlightened global business.” 

The company’s CEO, Niels Bach, said that his company had now made a public commitment to the advancement of the Global Compact’s 10 universal principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption.  “For us, signing the Global Compact is not just a publicity stunt or about making us look better than we are. It is about dealing constructively and systematically with the environmental and social challenges in our daily business and then making real changes.”

ISO 14001
In a related development, Mobeltransport Danmark also attained ISO 14001 environmental certification. “Environmental impact is an increasingly important issue across the globe”, said Fie Hollis, responsible for business certifications at Mobeltransport Danmark.  “Sorting and recycling packing debris is no longer enough as increasing pressure is coming from a number of sources - including local authorities, corporate clients, private customers, own employees and shareholders - to formalise and measure our environmental performance.”

Gunnar Moeskjaer, the company’s Director for International Services commented:  “We are convinced that our progress in terms of corporate responsibility and environmental sustainability will contribute considerably to the long-term creation of value for all our stakeholders including customers and overseas partners."
