Road transport

20 percent of DB Schenker’s emissions are produced by land transport

The target in land transport is to reduce specific CO2 emissions by 26 percent of 2006 levels by 2020.

Ocean freight

Cooperation with preferred carriers

The target in maritime freight transport is to reduce specific CO2 emissions by 15 percent by 2020 compared to 2006.

Air freight

Air freight accounts for 38 percent of DB Schenker's emissions

The target in air freight transport is to reduce specific CO2 emissions by 25 percent by 2020 compared to 2006.

Stationary units

Reduction by Stationary facilities

At existing facilities CO2 emissions can be reduced for example, by using more efficient lighting, heating and air conditioning.
