Decarbonisation of Transport Operations
With everyone talking about sustainability these days, the term has become a bit of a buzzword. A company that wishes to describe itself as sustainable has to be a responsible business overall, not just taking in consideration its effect on the environment. With an extensive transportation network to operate, Girteka understands very clearly the challenge that lies ahead to be truly clean and green, and is taking proactive steps to decarbonise its transport operations and customers’ supply chains.
Discover how Girteka is leading the charge in reducing its carbon footprint while maintaining the efficiency of its logistics services across Europe.
Ambitious legislation such as the European Green Deal aims to drive businesses towards zero carbon by 2050, meaning businesses such as Girteka have to follow a sustainable route today, not
just by talking about it but actually taking steps, no matter how small.
Girteka, by the pure nature of its business, is part of an industry sector that is one of the most carbon-hungry of all – the business of moving goods from A to B as effectively, safely and fast as
commercially possible. Therefore it has to work extra hard in its quest to move towards zero carbon, the decarbonisation of transport operations.

Legislation on its own will not work – the desire to operate a logistics business with little or no impact on the environment has to come from within, and Girteka has very strong credentials in this area. Its Head of Sustainability, Viktorija Terekė, is responsible for steering the company along its decarbonisation journey. “We are always seeking a deep understanding of how sustainability will affect us now and in the long term,” she says. “Of course, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Green Deal pushed us to have a more holistic approach, and we found that our goals were not always aligned internally between all of our activities. So what we are doing now, at this point, is evaluating our activities and investing in internal resources to push forward our strategy.”
