Vision and Mission

Board of Management

Information Security​

In an age of digitalized value chains and complete business models, ensuring information security in companies is essential. As a globally active logistics service provider, the topic of security is therefore an integral part of our corporate philosophy. ​ ​

The trust of our customers and business partners in our secure information technologies has absolute priority. To meet these requirements, the Leschaco Group implemented an Information Security Management System (ISMS), which is based on the international standards ISO/IEC 27001:2013 and the relevant legal and industry-specific requirements. This enables us to guarantee the effective and sustainable implementation of information security. This also includes the definition of clear responsibilities and the availability of appropriate resources.

​ The Leschaco Group's security officer is the central point of contact for all security-related issues and regularly supervises the effectiveness and efficiency of the implemented security measures. In this way, we preventively ensure a constant adaptation of the measures to new circumstances in order to be able to counteract possible potential dangers at an early stage. ​



Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is an integral part of our identity and mission. Our aspiration is to be regarded as an exemplary model that effectively navigates the demands of modern logistics while simultaneously prioritizing well-being. This objective applies to our employees, customers, and suppliers, all of whom we seek to impress through our actions. The implementation of our values is manifested through "Our Family" internally, and "Our Planet" and "Our Friends" externally. Adhering to these principles is fundamental to our triumphs. Our success is contingent upon our ability to positively influence and impact our stakeholders, while remaining true to our core competencies and prioritizing our most pressing concerns.

For us, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to the practice of incorporating social and environmental considerations into the company's operations and engagements with stakeholders, such as customers and employees. It involves achieving a balance between economic, environmental, and social objectives, while meeting the needs and expectations of shareholders and other stakeholders. This aligns with Leschaco #WeCare concept, which emphasizes a company's commitment to promoting sustainability, ethical practices, and social responsibility.

Safety and Quality

A reliable framework

Global logistics providers are situated in a network of complex relationships. The increasing speed of changes on the market, in the society and in technology is creating manifold challenges. A future-orientated company therefore needs a comprehensive regulatory framework that takes into account this network of challenges and that at the same time leaves the necessary leeway for acting in a flexible way.

Leschaco tackles these tasks successfully in accordance with the needs of the customers, of the employees, of the partners, and of the public. We have therefore set up an Integrated Management System (IMS). It serves as a reliable orientation for the group and for our customers.

Leschaco has set itself the goal of providing an excellent performance in the fields of health and occupational safety, transportation safety, environment protection, as well as ethics and quality. The experts here talk in short of HSEQ – which stands for Health, Safety, Environment, Quality. Our IMS takes into account all these aspects on an equal footing and integrates the respective concerns into all management and decision-making processes. The advantage: Instead of several management systems working apart from one another, the IMS provides our customers and us with a clearly structured safeguarding of the desired standards in one system. 

Our Sustainability Management has been awarded with a "Silver Certification" by EcoVadis, an independent agency for assessing the CSR performance of companies. This result places Leschaco among the top 30 % performers evaluated by EcoVadis world-wide.

Besides the integrated quality and environment management systems ISO 9001 and 14001 the areas of safety, health, and ethics become more and more important. Today they are an inseparable part of our business activities and they are the basis for fulfilling demanding services worldwide.
