As a logistics company with a strong focus on railway transport, Transfesa contributes significantly to the development of a sustainable and environment-friendly transport system. To achieve prosperity in Europe, it is essential to have in place an efficient transport system, as it has an important impact on the economic growth, social development and environment. The mobility of goods is an essential component of the competitiveness of European industry and services.
Congestion and pollution threaten the economic growth, our quality of life and environment. "Intelligent mobility" solutions can contribute to relieve congestion. By focusing on the railway transport as an essential element of its logistics solutions, Transfesa is investing in the future of European transport, which will require viable alternatives to the currently congested road corridors. Transfesa supports intelligent solutions that rely on co-modal logistics chains, thereby optimising the use of transport infrastructure and different modes. These solutions include the use of railway corridors and intermodal nodes for rail,road, sea or air transport.
Transfesa has incorporated the principles of social and corporate responsibility in its corporate strategy, internalising the three objectives that constitute the cornerstones of sustainability: environmental, societal and economic. In line with this philosophy, in 2002 Transfesa adhered to the Global Compact Initiative promoted by the United Nations, becoming one of its founding members in Spain. This Initiative promotes voluntary actions among the business community in the area of Corporative Social Responsibility, through the adoption of ten universal basic principles in the areas of Human Rights, Labour Standards and Environment.
