Transport

By actively sourcing products within Europe, we reduce the transport distances and prevent emissions. Eight of the nine companies that provide our footwear are located within the EU. In addition, we stimulate energy-efficient forms of transport such as the train.

Full trucks

Our Supply Chain Planner is committed to efficient planning, distribution and good stock management. With the right planning and a smart placing of orders, we ensure that trucks only travel with a full load thereby avoiding transport with half-empty trucks.

Climate neutral shipping

We ship orders to our Dutch customers through the GoGreen compensation programme of our logistics partner DHL. This means that DHL reduces the CO2 emissions of transport as much as possible by choosing for delivery options that are as green as possible, electric transport and sustainable locations. The remaining emissions are compensated by investing in sustainable projects that actively remove CO2 from the air. DHL and Allshoes each pay a share of the compensation costs for this.

This resulted in a compensation of 2,925 kg of CO2 in 2021.

Our other logistics partner, GVT, also does its best to reduce CO2 emissions. Through Lean & Green, a CO2reducing programme for companies in the logistics sector, GVT is working on reducing its emissions. The reduction efforts by GVT has received a score of 3 stars (where 5 is the maximum) by Lean and Green.
