For the first time SNCF Geodis is presenting its global multimodal services in Asia, at the Transport Logistic exhibition in Shanghai, June 8th until June 10th.

The commercial offer of this growing business unit in Asia will be in the centre of the group’s showroom at Transport Logistics China, and it will be linked to all activities of SNCF Geodis’ end-to-end supply chain management, from global sea and air freight via warehousing services to intra-Asia shipments and inland distribution. “Asia is probably the most dynamic business region of the world, especially China, and therefore this exhibition is the perfect place for us to present and underline the importance of this region for our strategic development”, says Jean-Louis Demeulenaere, CEO of Geodis Group, who will also be visiting the Shanghai exhibition to continue discussions about the group’s organic and external growth plans. Today, SNCF Geodis is the 7th largest logistics player worldwide covering a network of 120 countries.

After more than 35 years of market presence, Geodis has an impressive track record in Asia. It was one of the first international logistics companies to establish operations in China. A multi-cultural workforce with great local expertise and a global view on logistics solutions ensures a constant high level of service performance, backed up by frequent customer satisfaction programs. The group’s offer in Asia and worldwide ranges from integrated freight and logistics solutions, using advanced technologies that cover the entire supply chain, to final distribution, without forgetting reverse logistics and spare parts operations. A vertical industry focus enables them to deliver best-in-class services that meet specific needs of each market sector, such as automotive, aviation , high tech, industrial projects including oil & gas, marine logistics, pharmaceutical & health care and FMCG (fast moving consumer goods).

SNCF Geodis, a player committed to

sustainable development SNCF Geodis is pursuing an active policy on sustainable development, in order to reconcile economic development with social responsibility and environmental protection. SNCF Geodis has become a benchmark operator in many areas (‘rail motorways’, multimodal logistics platforms, urban logistics, port logistics, and more). A total of 160 Geodis sites worldwide have received the ISO 14001 certification, of which 60 in accordance with the QSE (Quality Safety Environment) model. At SNCF Geodis, this policy is reflected by each entity. The aim is to deliver innovative and efficient transport solutions drawing upon complementary means of transport (rail, road, river, sea, air) and combining them for the benefit of customers.

In 2009, for example, the development of multi-modality enabled the road division of Geodis to “avoid” 48 million km, or almost 40,000 tonnes of CO². Already, more than 20% of the Group’s vehicle fleet has been replaced by more ecological vehicles meeting the Euro 5 standard. Another example is the use by carriers of the Alpine rail motorway, cutting their CO² emissions by 80%. At the same time, in France, Geodis is working with the OEET (intelligence unit on transport, energy and the environment) on putting in place a method to calculate the carbon footprint of transport services.

More specifically, Geodis is implementing its own approach to sustainable development with the “Blue Attitude”, a program based on five strategic commitments to customers, employees, partners, the community and the environment. Key areas of focus for Geodis in this field include cutting CO² emissions from transport, and improving the environmental performance of its sites. Geodis’ Blue Attitude Program
