ESG

Our ESG Strategy

The 2024 Agenda
for Sustainable Development

Building upon the success of our inaugural report in 2022 and 2023, HFW, Pledge and Panattoni, in conjunction with Analytiqa, publish the European Logistics and Supply Chain Sustainability Report.

Developing the unique insight published in last year’s report, the majority of our 2024 research seeks to update the views and opinions expressed in 2022 and 2023, as we start to build trends and analyse shifts in behaviour. We have also introduced several new research elements this year to focus on specific subjects of interest and we include three case studies, from GL Events, Noerpel Group and Coyote Logistics providing examples of ‘real-world’ ESG initiatives across supply chains.

Built-in sustainability

Our high standard specification harnesses Low and Zero Carbon (LZC) technology to prioritise energy efficiency and reduce operating costs.

Two of the biggest causes of energy waste are lack of natural light and heat loss through air leakage. All Panattoni buildings include 15% roof lights as well as ‘supertight’ building envelopes as standard. Our intelligent lighting systems results in a reduction in electricity consumption by up to 70%.

In the summer months a major driver for the overuse of air conditioning is solar heat gain. Panattoni considers the orientation of office space and window positioning at the planning stage to design out solar gain. We also specify glazing with optimum reflectance, reducing the need for air conditioning still further.
