AB Texel takes its responsibility as a sustainable partner. We realise this by reducing our negative impact on the environment and society, being an excellent employer for our employees and a valued collaborative partner for our chain partners.
Our sustainability strategy consists of three pillars. On the basis of these pillars, we will take steps to reduce our negative impact as a transport company and increase our positive impact as an employer and chain partner.
We will reduce our negative impact on the environment and always work safely.
We are an attractive employer for our employees.
We are a trusted, valuable and long-term collaborative partner for our business relations.

Our transport that runs on fossil fuels emits CO2. And as road users, we share a responsibility to positively influence road safety. We want to reduce our negative impact on the environment and society. We will achieve this by reducing our CO2 emissions and increasing safety at work and on the road; for our drivers and fellow road users.
Reduce our impact by working safely and driving with the lowest possible CO2 footprint.
In 2030, we will achieve at least a 40% reduction in CO2 per tonne-kilometre and net zero in 2050.
We are working hard to achieve optimum levels of safety: no accidents in the workplace or on the road.
Our employees are the heart of our company. AB Texel currently employs 2,900 colleagues, who all deliver added value to our company. Colleagues who work tirelessly every day to help us and our clients. It’s important to us that our employees enjoy their work, are committed, and are proud to represent the company. That's something we invest in.
We are an attractive employer, where all employees enjoy their work and are committed to the company. An employer that employees speak proudly of and where they feel at home.

We are a committed and reliable partner. This is why we continuously invest in good relationships with our clients and suppliers, whether they are a large or small client or supplier. This often results in long-term collaborations. Together, we can achieve more. And together, it’s possible to successfully approach complex issues such as sustainability, and ensure that both parties can benefit.
Long-term and transparent partnerships with chain partners to realise collective ambitions and provide added value.
To ensure more efficient and sustainable chains, at least 70% of our turnover comes from long-term partnerships with our clients. Long-term means longer than five years.
