DB Schenker in Poland has won the first place in the Ranking of Responsible
Companies in the category called “Transport, Trade, Services” for three consecu-
tive years. The strategy of sustainable development is based on the European
Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) model applied by the company and
on management through building the Lean culture. The strategy assumes harmo-
nious development within three areas concerning economy, society and environ-
ment. One of the key challenges is creating an attitude of co-responsibility among
employees and suppliers.
DB Schenker has systematically been undertaking CSR activity. An example of
this is the ECO2 PHANT program aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emission and
noise level by 20 % by the year 2020. The program is divided into a few smaller
projects (Social Report, DB Schenker,

emission reduction,
• Eco-calculator—a tool allowing to accurately calculate (after having obtained
all the detailed data: the route, transport type and consignment weight) the
amount of energy generated and the emission of carbon dioxide, nitric oxide,
hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide and particulates for a single transport type as well
as for multiple transport types used for one consignment,
• Emission report—a tool which provides information about environmental pollu-
tion emitted during transport. The customer can individually determine the type
consignment, set the date, type of transport and direction (the generated report
concerns all logistics operations carried out in Europe by DB Schenker). Data
on fuel and energy consumption in kWh are also given,
• Eco Plus—rail transport with the use of renewable energy, thanks to which
100 % reduction of carbon dioxide emission may be achieved. At the custom-
er's request, renewable energy is fed into the German rail electricity grid, in the
amount needed to transport the given goods for the customer,
• Eco Warehouse—ecological warehousing, in facilities equipped with state-of-
the-art environment-friendly infrastructure (possible reduction of 125 t of CO
