Cargobull Telematics obtained “Assured Sustainability” test certificate
The German Institute for Sustainability and Economics confirms full sustainability in the areas of ecology, economics and social competence
October 2021 – The Schmitz Cargobull subsidiary Cargobull Telematics GmbH, which is responsible for the range of digital services related to trailer telematics, has been awarded the “Assured Sustainability” test seal by the German Institute for Sustainability and Economics. The certificate attests that sustainability has been implemented in an exemplary manner throughout the enterprise and that all processes have been optimised with regard to a sustainable economic orientation. This includes the quality of products, services, and consulting, as well as ecological and social responsibility and the economic future-orientation. The individual sustainability competencies in the areas of environment, energy, social affairs, economics, and regionality, and their implementation in the company were verified in an on-site audit.
“We’re very proud of this certification, as it shows that the important topic of sustainability is actively implemented throughout the company. It is important for us to strengthen the orientation towards qualitative, social, and ecological criteria as part of our corporate philosophy. Here we rely on transparent, clearly formulated processes and extensive quality controls, which confirm again and again the confidence of our customers in the performance of our products and services. Of course, our employees are our most valuable asset in this respect. We can only achieve our ambitious goals with motivated employees,” says Marnix Lannoije, Managing Director of Cargobull Telematics GmbH.
As of now, the TrailerConnect® telematics system is also certified and, therefore, offers the customer decisive advantages. “The certified telematics system stands out from the mass of providers as an ‘excellent’ sustainable product and enhances the operator’s vehicle fleet accordingly,” says Leoni Nathaus, Head of Product Management & Service Sales Product Line Digital Services. “The user of our products thus brings a high level of sustainability and safety competence to their business. In public tenders or audits, such as for ISO 14001 Environmental Management, ISO 50001 Energy Management or ISO 16247 Energy Audit, the fleet operator can decisively improve its positioning by the use of a certified TrailerConnect® system. The same applies increasingly to customers who insist on various proofs of a company’s sustainability before placing orders. In this regard we are on the cutting edge with our product, helping to speed up the process accordingly.”
