At Leschaco, responsibility is more than a buzzword – it’s a core principle that drives everything we do. We are dedicated to minimizing our environmental impact, promoting social responsibility within our #WeCare initiatives, and fostering economic resilience. Our sustainable practices are integrated into our operations, from reducing emissions and conserving resources to supporting our communities and ensuring ethical supply chains.
Keeping a close watch on environment protection
The protection of the environment and of the climate as well as the economical use of natural resources are among the most important tasks of our time. If also coming generations are supposed to grow up in a livable environment, we all have to participate actively in the design of eco-friendly economic processes.
As the Leschaco Group, we are aware of this responsibility. By a continuous improvement of our environmentally relevant processes, we want to contribute to improving the quality of people's lives all over the world, now and in the future.
Leschaco’s management and employees therefore jointly made the decision that the applying standards of environment protection shall be respected for all business activities. It is our aim to design all business activities in such a way that aspects with relevance to the environment will be considered for all planning and seamlessly integrated into the defined processes.
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.

The Leschaco Family is at the heart of our company and the driving force behind our success. Without our employees, our facilities and software would be meaningless. We strive to create an inviting, secure, and inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued, appreciated, and empowered to thrive. Through comprehensive health, safety, and well-being programs, we support the physical, mental, and professional development of our global team of more than 3,175 employees. By fostering a positive and engaging work environment, we aim to extend this spirit of care and responsibility beyond our organization to "Our Planet" and "Our Friends."
We are grateful for what we have and believe in sharing our success with "Our Friends." Guided by the conviction that everyone should have access to joy, security, and opportunities for self-actualization, we seek to create meaningful and lasting impact in the communities around us. Through long-term education initiatives in five key countries and support for local food security systems across 50 countries in partnership with the Global Food Banking Network, we aim to give back to society, empower individuals, and contribute to a more equitable future. By making a positive difference in the lives of "Our Friends," we find purpose and fulfillment in our shared journey.
We must be mindful of our invaluable and unique planet in all our actions. As an environmentally responsible organization, we recognize that protecting the environment and preserving biodiversity for future generations is not a choice, but an obligation. As a chemical logistics company, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and continuously improving our performance. Through our Road2Zero strategy, we are pursuing a structured pathway toward carbon neutrality while advancing sustainable operations through the use of green electricity and the transition to a 40 to 60 percent hybrid or electric company car fleet. Together with our active participation in global cleanup initiatives and circular economy programs, these efforts help us make "Our Planet" cleaner, safer, and more resilient for generations to come.
