Warehouse locations with financial climate contributions

As the leading rail logistics provider in Europe, we are committed to climate climate change mitigation above and beyond our day-to-day core business activities. We actively reduce emissions at warehouse locations and make a financial contribution to climate change mitigation in order to offset residual emissions.

Which greenhouse gas emissions are recorded?

We record all greenhouse gas emissions.

  • Scope 1: direct emissions from the vehicle fleet and heating gas
  • Scope 2: indirect emissions from purchased energy such as electricity and district heating
  • Scope 3: indirect emissions from RCG employees caused by travelling to work or from company waste and office paper

We are continuously working to reduce all of these emissions and are also taking countermeasures for unavoidable emissions by providing financial support to climate change mitigation projects certified by Climate Partner. The group has already reduced CO2 emissions by 1,023.13 tonnes since the end of 2021. This equates to all the emissions from the two warehouse locations in Lenzing and Vienna Freudenau in 2020, 2021 and 2022
