Schmitz Cargobull honoured with German Sustainability Award 2025

“As a fourth-generation family business we regard sustainability as an integral part of our company strategy and as the origin of many in-house innovations. The challenges of sustainable transformation encourage us to create new innovations and give us food for thought. However, it is important for our customers and for us that the necessary sustainability measures are effective and economically viable and are not subject to overregulation,” explains Schmitz.

“We are proud to accept the German Sustainability Award for Companies in the Mobility and Logistics Category for the automotive industry. This award is proof that our team is well-positioned, hard-working, and has the necessary expertise to find innovative decarbonisation solutions. We would like to thank the jury, and everyone involved for this recognition. We will continue to make every effort to lead Schmitz Cargobull successfully and sustainably into the next generation.”

The German Sustainability Award honours exemplary companies from 100 sectors that offer successful solutions for the challenges of sustainable transformation. The aim is to make these solutions widely available and drive forward transformation in the German economy. A total of 224 expert jurors from the fields of research, associations, consulting and civil society selected the 100 role models of change in all sectors of the German economy. The winners show especially effective, successful and exemplary contributions to transformation and make a joint effort in connecting all companies from one sector.

The CEOs and sustainability officers of the 100 pioneering companies, prominent speakers, and guests of honour from the world of economy, politics and society as well as approx. 100 media representatives attended the event.
