Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility

Supporting the environment and playing our part in the wider global community

APL Logistics is committed to engaging in responsible environmental stewardship. We recognize that this is in the best interests of the organization, its employees and customers and that it contributes to a better quality of life.

APL Logistics is against wasting natural resources and we make every effort to conserve them. We place a high value on encouraging our staff to operate in an environmentally responsible manner, and we develop programs to help customers be more sustainable through our initiatives.


These programs include:

  • Optimizing shipment routes and the overall logistics network to reduce our customers' carbon footprint
  • Modal conversion opportunities to utilize greener transport modes such as sea compared to air, and rail to road
  • Partnering with underlying carriers that have environmentally friendly fleet operations
  • Developing analytical tools such as carbon calculators and dashboards that help customers quantify the benefits of sustainability efforts
  • Reducing energy consumption and general waste throughout our operations
  • Recycling of packaging materials
