Our view on sustainable business
A customer’s point of view:
Pierre Robert Group is distributing basic underwear, socks, hosiery and wool garments in 4000 grocery stores in Norway and Nordic from our online shop. Since the launch of Pierre Robert textiles in 2006 we have had a continuous focus on sustainability and responsible sourcing in our supply chain and operations. Sustainability is included in our business strategy and we are committed to contribute to a more sustainable textile industry through our operations. 80% of a garment’s environmental footprint comes from/is within our part of the value chain and Pierre Robert Group strive to choose the options to reduce the garments environmental footprint. By prioritising less impact materials and design, production facility, processes, packaging and transport from our factories we strive to reduce the negative impact. That is why we chose Greenccarrier Freight Services to convert our cargo transport from truck to rail/train from our largest supplier, Calzificio Fap, in Italy. This contributes to a reduction of Co2 from our transport and we are very happy with the services and deliveries we have e experienced with Greenccarrier Freight Services .

Good logistics is when you understand your customer and their business in the sense that you don’t think of their products as just boxes being moved from one place to another. But instead, you put yourself in your customer’s shoes to truly understand their needs and solve their problem. This is a relevant aspect of the freight forwarder’s role in an increasingly digitalised world. Carl Larsson Director Ocean Consolidation Services Scandinavian and Baltic Region
