Dachser switches completely to green electricity

The logistics service provider will obtain 100 percent of its electricity worldwide from renewable sources; it will quadruple the amount of green electricity it generates itself using photovoltaic systems.

KEMPTEN, GERMANY – Media OutReach – 29 October 2021 – As of January 1, 2022, Dachser will be purchasing only electricity generated from renewable resources. This means that the logistics service provider, which operates 387 of its own locations in 42 countries, is increasing its proportion of green power from around 60 percent to 100 percent. In Germany and the Netherlands, the family-owned company had already switched to green power beforehand. In addition, Dachser will significantly step up its in-house generation of renewable energy and, as a first step, is installing and expanding photovoltaic systems on the roofs of its European logistics facilities and office buildings. By 2025, its current capacity will more than quadruple, to over 20,000 kWp of installed capacity.

“We’re implementing two basic building blocks of our climate protection strategy by switching to purchasing electricity solely from wind, solar, and hydropower worldwide, while also expanding our own production of green electricity,” explains Stefan Hohm, Chief Development Officer (CDO) at Dachser. “These actions are reducing our carbon footprint. At the same time, our demand strengthens the production of green power and contributes to the expansion of capacity in Europe for generating electricity from renewable sources.”

Long-term climate protection strategy


Efficiency, innovation, and inclusive responsibility: these are the cornerstones of Dachser’s long-term climate protection strategy. The family-owned company’s initiatives aim at efficient logistics processes, energy savings, and technological innovation. Dachser believes this is the best way to limit GHG in line with the 2-degree target set by the Paris Agreement as well as the climate protection targets of the European Union and many other countries. To this end, the company works together with customers and partners who are also keen to actively shape how logistics moves to adopt low- and zero-emission technologies. Employees too are closely involved in climate protection activities, with a commitment to society and social issues that goes beyond Dachser’s own direct business interests.

About Dachser:

Headquartered in Germany, Dachser is one of the world’s leading logistics providers. Using its own in-house developed IT-systems, the company incorporates transport, warehousing, and value-added services to provide comprehensive supply chain solutions. Thanks to some 30,800 employees at 387 locations all over the globe, Dachser generated consolidated net revenue of approximately EUR 5.6 billion in 2020. The same year, the logistics provider handled a total of 78.6 million shipments weighing 39.8 million metric tons. Dachser is represented by its own country organizations in 42 countries on five continents. In Asia, there are branch offices in 48 locations across 12 Business Areas. Its Asia Pacific Regional Head Office is located in Hong Kong.

Cushman & Wakefield Wins the Valuation Team of the Year Award Among Three Accolades at RICS Hong Kong Awards 2021

Winner of “Valuation Team of the Year”

Winner of “Property Professional of the Year”

Highly Commended for “Agency Team of the Year”

 

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 28 October 2021 – Leading global real estate services firm, Cushman & Wakefield, once again shone at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Awards in Hong Kong for 2021, receiving high recognition in three separate categories:

  • Winner – Valuation Team of the Year
  • Winner – Property Professional of the Year
  • Highly Commended – Agency Team of the Year

Valuation Team of the Year — Winner

Cushman & Wakefield’s Valuation and Advisory Services team won kudos for their performance in meeting and surpassing the award criteria, including upholding the highest international standards and imbuing confidence to end-users for objectivity, independence and reliability. The team is the largest valuation practice in the industry in Hong Kong, with more than 100 professionals delivering a total valuation solution for real estate development, investment, and financing, thus taking home the highest recognition as Winner of the Valuation Team of the Year.

 

Andrew Chan, Head of Valuation & Advisory Services, Greater China, Cushman & Wakefield, said, “We are thrilled to receive this win for the valuation services category’s inaugural award in Hong Kong. This recognition caps a remarkable year for the team here. We have delivered a record-high 60,000+ valuation reports, absorbed an entire existing team of professional valuers, and launched a raft of new initiatives and innovations designed to help businesses stay informed and ahead of the curve on strategy and decision making. And this award achievement is even more special as it comes despite the challenges of 2020. I congratulate the team on their sustained efforts and this success, and together we look forward to lead with further innovations in the industry.”

 

Agency Team of the Year — Highly Commended

The firm’s Retail Services team maintained the high profile built at the RICS Hong Kong awards in recent years, with a Highly Commended recognition for their single-handed work to incubate and launch the innovative Park Aura “EATertainment” project in 2020. The project was managed and brought to fruition in the face of the unprecedented challenges created by the pandemic, and the darkest time in decades for Hong Kong’s F&B industry. The project launch has been credited as a much-needed boost to the F&B sector and a vote of confidence in the city’s economy. 

 

Kevin Lam, Executive Director & Head of Retail Services, Hong Kong, Cushman & Wakefield, commented, “We are proud to again win recognition as an industry leader, demonstrating our out-of-the-box thinking to position the Park Aura project as a semi-retail Ginza-style dining complex. This is a pioneering asset management strategy for Hong Kong, usually deployed in mall leasing, resulting in a diversified tenant mix that draws in visitors around the clock and broadens market penetration. The end-result has been a leasing strategy that has redefined the objectives and deliverables of a dining complex. This has been a great success, and again illustrates our positioning and track record as a trusted partner and innovator to both landlords and tenants alike into the future.”

 

Property Professional of the Year — Winner (Kevin Lam)

Cushman & Wakefield’s retail sector expertise was further demonstrated by the announcement of Kevin Lam as the Winner of the inaugural RICS Hong Kong Property Professional of the Year award. The award category seeks to recognize outstanding individual achievement in property projects, by persons demonstrating the highest professional ethics, implementation of day-to-day standards, and overall excellence. An avid fitness enthusiast and Ironman athlete with 30 years of professional experience, Lam was recognized for his achievements including promoting new thinking and a new retail ecosystem in Hong Kong in response to the challenges of the pandemic, and bringing athleisure experiential retail concepts to the market.

 

“I am delighted to receive this honor in the first year of the Property Professional category,” commented Lam. “Recognition from peers is the highest form of compliment for all for us working in this industry, and provides me with an added spur to go the extra mile in both personal and professional endeavors. Thank you, RICS Hong Kong.”    

 

Cushman & Wakefield’s 2021 RICS Award success in Hong Kong has also been matched in mainland China, with the firm taking top honors across multiple service lines, including Best Deal of the Year (Capital Markets), Research Team of the Year, and Professional Consultancy Service Team of the Year – Real Estate (Valuation and Advisory Services). This dual recognition in both mainland China and Hong Kong markets is indicative of the firm’s expertise and collaborative synergies that underpin its market leadership across the Greater China region.

 

John Siu, Managing Director, Hong Kong, Cushman & Wakefield, commented, “Our teams continue to perform at an exceptional level, showing the ambition and determination we need to overcome the recent economic challenges and continuing fierce industry competition. Backed by years of experience, a culture of innovation and first-rate market intelligence, we remain well-positioned to provide strategic advisory services to our clients. We are proud of our winning tradition at the RICS Hong Kong Awards and recognition from impartial third parties remain a testament to our ability to meet client needs.”

Joint Forces for a Stronger Network for Recycling: Hong Chi Association and Nestlé Hong Kong Collaborated to Expand Their “Type 5 PP Plastic Recycling Campaign”

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 28 October 2021 – In order to promote clean recycling of Type 5 Polypropylene (“PP”) plastic, Hong Chi Association and Nestlé Hong Kong have joint forces to implement a “Type 5 PP Plastic Recycling Pilot Campaign” in the community since 2020. Not only did the pilot campaign receive encouraging recycling results, but it also upcycled the collected Type 5 PP plastic to turn waste into resources! In view of the wide support received for the pilot campaign, Hong Chi Association and Nestlé Hong Kong expanded the recycling network to Kowloon and Hong Kong Island districts, and will organize more public education activities, in order to strengthen the recycling power for a new page in plastic recycling in the community.

 

 
Ms. May Chung, General Manager, Nestlé Hong Kong Limited (second from the left) and Mr. Edwin Lam, General Secretary, Hong Chi Association (second from the right), presented the awards to the top three residences winning the Inter-Residence Recycling Competition of the Type 5 PP Plastic Recycling Pilot Campaign.
 
 
Hong Chi Association and Nestlé Hong Kong upcycled the collected Type 5 PP plastic into eco-friendly hangers.

 

Gained fruitful results in the first year, the campaign offered the plastic a second life by upcycling

The “Type 5 PP Plastic Recycling Pilot Campaign”, which is the first recycling campaign in the community focusing only on Type 5 PP plastic, has been launched in Yuen Long since August 2020 with over 30 recycling points to facilitate citizens to recycle different Type 5 PP plastic used in their daily life, such as various food packaging and containers. Meanwhile, the pilot campaign organized recycling days in residences to uplift the residents’ environmental awareness.

 

As of 30 June 2021, the pilot campaign recycled around 900KG of Type 5 PP plastic, whose weight is equivalent to over 22,500 takeaway meal boxes. This is an encouraging result that doubled the expected level! In the Inter-Residence Recycling Competition under the pilot campaign, Central Park Towers, La Grove and Villa Premiere were ranked the top three.

 

In addition to recycling, the pilot campaign also explored different possibilities of upcycling the collected plastic into other household items. Eventually, those collected plastic was upcycled into 3,500 pieces of eco-friendly hangers, by which the waste was converted into resources and a circular life cycle for the plastic was enabled. Eco-friendly hangers were also leveraged to motivate more general public to join the recycling.

 

The campaign is expanding to Kowloon and Hong Kong Island for a stronger power

Today, Hong Chi Association and Nestlé Hong Kong jointly announced that they are collaborating on the “Type 5 PP Plastic Recycling Campaign” two years in a row, and they have received enthusiastic support from various property management partners, such as Kai Shing Management Services Limited and Nan Fung Property Management[1], to extend the recycling network to Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. A total of over 50 recycling points[2] will be in service this year, motivating and facilitating more citizens to recycle Type 5 PP to reduce waste for our community.

 

Apart from setting up more recycling points, the campaign will also actively promote environmental protection, such as enhancing general public’s environmental awareness and inspire their green living through online workshops and activities. Citizens can stay tuned for the activity announcement by Hong Chi Association and participate actively!

 

Ms. May Chung, General Manager, Nestlé Hong Kong Limited, said, “Nestlé Hong Kong is committed to supporting sustainability, and we launch different initiatives in response to social needs to create shared value for our society. For sustainability, our vision is that none of our packaging, including plastics, ends up in landfills or as litter. We are delighted to see the first-year campaign yielded outstanding results and it also won us the Bronze Award in the SDG Achievement Awards Hong Kong organized by Green Council. We are looking forward to continuing contributing to a sustainable community with the Type 5 PP Plastic Recycling Campaign and inspiring people towards a green future.”

 

Mr. Edwin Lam, General Secretary, Hong Chi Association said, “Hong Chi Association has long been active in driving environmental protection in the community. We are honoured to partner with Nestlé Hong Kong to implement the Type 5 PP Plastic Recycling Campaign, and to contribute together to a green community. Meanwhile, this campaign offered more training and job opportunities in recycling for our Hong Chi trainees, and the general public could have more understanding for their abilities via those public education activities, further promoting social inclusion.”
