Environment & climate

Commitment to climate and environmental responsibility

 

As a pioneer in intermodal transport, Hupac actively contributes to reducing environmental impacts by shifting freights from road to rail. This modal shift is one of the most effective ways to lower greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption in the logistics sector.

 

In addition, we work to reduce noise emissions, optimise the use of resources such as water and chemicals and promote biodiversity. Minimising waste and ensuring the safe transport of goods are also central to our environmental responsibility.

Intermodal network at society's service

Restrictions on production and commercial activities are being introduced throughout Europe, with ever greater speed and degree of restriction.

In Italy, the Government's decision of 22 March has further restricted economic activity, now limited to essential goods and services. Land transport and its supply chain are excluded from these restrictions. Therefore, our terminals in Italy and our intermodal rail network remain in operation without restrictions.

In all countries we can count on the support of rail infrastructure managers and railway undertakings. They do their best to keep trains running. Certain restrictions in certain countries, such as the closure of lines at certain times, cannot be excluded, but will be communicated in a good time.

Our terminals must operate safely and efficiently. We therefore ask our customers to collect their loading units in a promptly, and to distribute the flow to the terminals throughout the day thus reducing waiting times and the presence of people in the terminals.

Thanks to our employees in the terminals and in the home office we guarantee the availability of the goods we all need, from basic goods to raw materials for the production of essential products, from consumer healthcare products to supplies for hospitals.
