Our Ambitions
“Running a business is about thinking ahead and setting the right direction.”
Right direction
Sustainability is what links our business together. Because running a business is about thinking ahead and setting the right direction. We as a CSR-focused company choose to respect the environment, use resources mindfully, and have a positive impact on society.
Every day, we are environmentally conscious, and we look for ways to minimize the impact of the logistics industry on our planet.
We are trendsetters when it comes to using technology to shift e-commerce and logistics to another level. Our technologies save resources as well as time.
We are pioneers in using alternative energy sources in the Czech Republic. We put their application into practice—whether it's hydrogen, electricity, or solar energy.
Our ideas are setting trends beyond the gates of logistics. We invest heavily in technology development with a clear goal—to bring modernization to society.
Our e-commerce services make life easier. We take care of our community and provide help to those in need.
“Running a business is about thinking ahead and setting the right direction.”
We were thinking about sustainability even when choosing a new building for our headquarters. Balabenka Office Building has solar panels on the roof and offers a charging station for electric cars. We've also equally equipped our depots, where the delivery vans, carts, and forklifts all run on electricity.
We also presented our sustainability strategy at Expo 2020 Dubai. We won't deprive you of the video either. What is Packeta doing to help improve the environment?
Looking red, thinking green
01
We want to become pioneers of hydrogen use in logistics. Not only because parcel delivery is one of the most promising opportunities for hydrogen mobility, but also because using hydrogen is the fastest way of lowering the carbon footprint. And because we are truly serious about hydrogen use, we became a HYTEP Czech Hydrogen Technology Platform member.
02
Although our primary focus is hydrogen use, we are also testing out other alternative resources and transport possibilities. One of these is electricity—to power everything with wheels. The development of hydrogen technology is going to take a while, but electric cars are already available. That's why we are looking for ways of using them in logistics.
03
Pick-up points. You would hardly find a company more focused on parcel pick-up than Packeta. In 2010, Simona Kijonková has started to build the pick-up point network to make parcel shipping easier for online shops and offer customers the possibility of parcel pick-up at their leisure. Consequently, she created a sustainable way of parcel delivery—because pick-up points can gather a larger number of parcels in one place, delivery routes become shorter, and produced emissions are significantly lower.
04
Parcel delivery via bikes is now a common standard in the world and we want to bring the same here. Bike delivery is an environmentally friendly way of parcel delivery that has proven excellent, especially for last-mile delivery. And what´s more, equipped with bikes we can reach customers unreachable by car—for example those who live in historical parts of towns.
It is not just us. Sustainability is the way to go for a number of companies. And the best way of succeeding is together! Thanks to the wonderful partnerships with major car companies, we are trying to boost electromobility in the Czech Republic. And thanks to our membership in the Czech Hydrogen Technology Platform, we're able to be a part of several projects trying to develop hydrogen technologies in the Czech Republic. If we go hand in hand, we can achieve much more for our planet.
