Shared routes for more sustainable operations 🚚🌱 By sharing delivery routes and trucks with EDEKA Südwest and Kaufland Deutschland, Eckes-Granini Germany is optimizing its logistics and significantly reducing CO2 emissions. Fewer empty runs, fewer emissions – a real win not only in terms of logistics and cost savings, but above all for the environment! These partnerships are a big step forward that we plan to expand to other routes in Germany in the future. In addition, the pooling of cargo space has the potential to serve as a model for other cooperations. 💪🌱 #EckesGranini #Sustainability #Environment

Sustainability is a multifaceted issue – let's tackle it together! End of September, we proudly marked our 4th Eckes-Granini Sustainability Day. From mental health and occupational safety to reducing food waste and our charity work with Team Rynkeby: enriching impulses were experienced in many of our national organizations to raise awareness of our sustainability goals and initiatives. For us it is key to come together as a team to create meaningful change. 🧘♂️ In Austria, our colleagues focused on health and wellness by running sports and nutrition workshops, helping with harvesting and learning about fruit growing at a local fruit and juice farm, as well as raising money for sick children and organizing a blood drive. 🧃 In France, our team deepened their understanding of sustainable packaging, exploring how we can reduce waste and improve environmentally friendly practices. A clean-up initiative around the factory and forest near the Paris office underscored the importance of this issue. 🍊 In Denmark, the focus was on how to strengthen our position as the most sustainable beverage brand and the role of employees, for example by reducing food waste. Also, the team focused on our collaboration with Team Rynkeby. 🚴♂️ In Finland, our colleagues focused on Team Rynkeby, and in keeping with the theme, they discussed bicycles as an alternative means of transportation in the future. There was also a first aid training. 🍊 The German team followed the fascinating journey from farm to table, highlighting the importance of sustainability in all aspects of our value chain. ♻ In Spain, Sustainability Day was all about recycling and learning how we can improve our efforts to minimize waste and protect our planet by visiting a recycling factory and listening to a presentation by the NGO ECOEMBES. 🌍 In Sweden, our team discussed the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and what we as Eckes-Granini can do to achieve them. Each country brought a unique focus, demonstrating the diversity of our sustainability efforts within the Eckes-Granini community. Thanks to our local teams for bringing all these facets of sustainability to life! #EckesGranini #Sustainability #Environment #SustainabilityDay

Let's talk about digital logistics! 🗨 In the latest episode of the BVL podcast, Steffen Riedel, Head of Logistics at Eckes-Granini Germany, discussed the advantages of the digital delivery note with presenter Boris Felgendreher from BVL - Bundesvereinigung Logistik and Stefanie Müller from GS1. At Eckes-Granini logistics is central to our business. We can only serve our consumers in the best possible way if we get the goods to the retail shelves on time and in full. 📦 That's why we are proud of our strong logistics team, which not only ensures timeliness, completeness and efficiency, but also works on the future of logistics with technology, digitization and sustainability. 🌐 One exciting project is the digital delivery note from Cloud4Log. In recent years, Eckes-Granini has worked with partners such as GS1 Germany and BVL to advance and introduce the digital delivery note process. The digital delivery note is now used by more than 100 partners. 🤝 Learn more in the German-language podcast! You can find the link in the comments. 🎧 #EckesGranini #Innovation #Sustainability
We did it again and even better than last year! 🏃 🚲 Together we broke our record of 8,560 km and were able to cover an amazing distance of 10,431 km during our “Bewegungswoche” (Exercise Week). Another round of our Eckes-Granini Deutschland Exercise Week, inspired by the annual trip to Paris from the Charity-Team Rynkeby Foundation, was a complete success. 💪 During the week, we planned several activities for our employees in Nieder-Olm. Together we enjoyed table tennis, yoga, crossfit and many more exciting activities. 💸 Organized by our #YoungTalents Team, we collected one euro per kilometer. Employees from all locations in Germany were involved and were able to reach a total of 11,000 euros – what an amazing result! The donation amount will be sent to a fund of the German Childhood Cancer Foundation, which finances the treatment of children with cancer. #EckesGranini #TeamRynkeby #Sustainability
Paperless into the future – we are on the way! 🚀 20 million delivery notes are processed and printed out every year in Germany in the food trade alone. With multiple copies, that's 180 million sheets of paper, which is the equivalent of around 1,500 trees. 🌳 But there is another way! 🌟 Steffen Riedel, Head of Logistics at Eckes-Granini Germany, presented the advantages of a digital solution at the VLB Berlin 25. VLB-Logistikfachkongress „Trends in der Getränkelogistik”. 📳 And these are manifold: The introduction of the digital delivery note, which Eckes-Granini Germany has driven forward together with GS1 Germany GmbH, significantly simplifies the processes involved in handling incoming and outgoing goods. How does this work? The cloud solution "Cloud4Log" allows lorry drivers as well as office and warehouse staff to work with the same data in real time and speeds up the order-to-cash process. This solution not only avoids errors caused by transferring data from paper to IT systems, but also eliminates language barriers between employees, for example. And best of all: all data is in one place, so that complete and traceable documentation is possible. 🔄 We are delighted to have worked with GS1 to make managing the supply chain easier and more environmentally friendly. 🎯 And to put it in Steffen's words: Make paperless trade happen! 💪 #EckesGranini #Innovation #Sustainability
💧 Sweating for a good cause 💧 Last Saturday we at Eckes-Granini took part in the international spinning event "Spin of Hope". Spin of Hope is an international charity event organised by Team Rynkeby. Across Europe, people are pedalling to raise money for seriously ill children and their families, as well as for cancer research. Reasons enough to get on your bike. 🚲 From 1 pm to 2.30 pm, with the support of Bewegungsforum Nieder-Olm, Team Rynkeby Nieder-Olm pedalled for all it’s worth, accompanied by good music and experienced trainers. A total of 8 nations took part, including Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, the Faroe Islands, Iceland and Switzerland. For more than two decades, Team Rynkeby has been dedicated to raising funds for charities, research institutions and healthcare services that support young patients with life-threatening illnesses and their families. We are proud to be the main sponsor of Team Rynkeby since 2016, and to be able to take part in such great campaigns with them. A big thank you to everyone who took part! 💛 #EckesGranini #TeamRynkeby #WeCare
