Acting for Planet
Contributing to a business model that respects the environment and natural resourcesFollowing the commitment of the CMA CGM Group to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, CEVA Logistics officially committed to SBTi in March 2025 with the aim to officially submit our decarbonization pathway in 2026. We are responsible for decarbonizing our own assets, as well as encouraging our suppliers and subcontractors to invest in the technologies of tomorrow. To achieve this, we have three main near-term decarbonization levers: our warehouses, our fleet and our low carbon solutions.
Key Achievements
CEVA earned a Platinum Medal and an overall score of 88/100 and a Score of 95/100 in the Environment category from EcoVadis in its sustainability performance assessment—placing CEVA in the top 1% overall for all assessed companies globally. In 2025, around 30 ktCO₂e was saved in our sites, thanks to low-carbon electricity and energy savings. CEVA’s current overall LED coverage increased from 63% to 92% since 2021 due to both local and regional teams’ investment programs. CEVA Logistics is actively implementing solar panels to power its facilities and reduce reliance on non-renewable energy sources, increasing the total surface area of photovoltaic panels to nearly 760,000 square meters at CEVA facilities across its global footprint. Last year, around 70 ktCO₂e was avoided in our transport activities, thanks to more than 11 million liters of air & ocean biofuels and almost 1,600 alternative fuel trucks.
CEVA | FORPLANET
As part of our CSR commitment to “Acting for Planet,” we are taking the next step in our journey to net zero by through our new sub-brand—CEVA FORPLANET—to highlight and further develop our sustainable logistics solutions. CEVA FORPLANET focuses on two main areas: low carbon transport and promoting circular economies.
Our Low Carbon Solutions
With CEVA FORPLANET, we support our customers towards the decarbonization of their supply chains. An AI-based logistics network optimization tool has been developed to fully integrate the carbon dimension into transport plan design. By analyzing customers’ shipment history, it proposes the most effective solutions to reduce overall CO₂ emissions (WTW), whether through a change in transport mode, optimization of carrier or route selection, or the use of alternative fuels.
- Measure: We provide layers of visibility at all stages of the logistical operations, all the way from pre-booking to delivery. The myCEVA digital platform provides an assessment of expected CO2e emissions for each transport request, analyzing transportation modes and carrier options. The myCEVA platform provides extensive end-to-end reporting on the carbon footprint of every delivery.
- Optimize: We support your decarbonization efforts through redesigning your supply chain to optimize flows, loading and routing. We provide solutions to mutualize shipments through shared FCL containers. Thanks to advanced technology, we provide thorough, real-time assessments to determine the best routing options, balancing transit time, carbon emissions and cost.
- Shift: We reduce emissions through three strategic levers: modal shift, intra-modal shift and alternative fuels. Through second-generation biofuels and Book & Claim mechanisms, we offer air (SAF), maritime (SMF), and road solutions with carbon reductions of up to 80%. Additionally, our wind-powered transatlantic services provide a low-carbon alternative for all cargo types, reducing emissions by up to 90%. In 2025, these solutions saved 27,309 tons of CO₂.
Circular Economy
- CEVA Logistics is also actively promoting circular economies across various industries, including automotive, consumer & retail, and industrial sectors. CEVA collaborates with customers and industry partners to develop closed-loop supply chains, reverse logistics processes (including repair, refurbishment and resale) to promote more efficient resource management within supply chains.
- CEVA FORPLANET packaging replaces single-use options with reusable packaging and consumables within supply chains. CEVA Reusable Packaging Solutions, which offers reusable boxes for the supplier’s flows, enable an overall CO₂ saving of 60%. The Reusable Solutions replaces disposable plastic packaging with solutions such as reusable pallet covers or boxes.

CEVA Eco Calculator allows you to estimate a logistics carbon footprint of a shipment via ocean, air or ground.
Our Warehouses
We aim to improve the environmental performance of our warehouses by implementing a range of solutions, including:
- Photovoltaic panels
- LED lighting
- Lithium-ion battery handling equipment
- Low carbon electricity
In addition, we act to reduce energy consumption on all our sites, as well as increasing employee awareness.
CEVA Logistics' decarbonization targets
Preserving Biodiversity
CEVA Logistics seeks to minimize the environmental impact of its activities on wildlife, flora and natural resources, especially at sites with high biodiversity value. CEVA Logistics has committed to assessing its biodiversity footprint by also using the Global Biodiversity Score (GBS), a scientific tool developed by CDC Biodiversité, to quantify the company's current and future impact on biodiversity related to its operations and supply chains. The land footprint of CEVA Logistics’ sites has also been studied by ecologists. The company seeks to minimize the environmental impact of its activities on wildlife, flora and natural resources, especially at sites with high biodiversity value.
Several CEVA sites in France are certified BiodiverCity® by the IBPC. This innovative approach combines ecology and construction to create buildings that prioritize nature in urban environments. Additionally, Singapore’s Blue Hub is the first site in Asia to receive this certification, thanks to best practices like an advanced energy management system with IoT for predictive building analytics, vegetated and landscaped terraces and roof, a rainwater recycling system and a photoelectric sensor to collect daylight.
Circular Economy
Packaging is a key resource in the logistics industry. We aim to reduce waste throughout all aspects in the logistics cycle. Our on-site initiatives have led to an overall 75% recycling rate. We use less harmful materials in our packaging, replacing plastic adhesive tape with paper tape and deploying reusable cardboard packaging in the cushioning thanks to box shredders in our facilities. Our customers also have access to reusable packaging solutions for their local or international flows, reducing significantly waste and carbon emissions.
Water
To reduce our environmental impact, we have adopted a plan to conserve and sustainably manage water consumption throughout our logistics, including:
- Mapping of CEVA water consumption landscape
- Auditing water consumption to identify areas to improve
- Taking corrective actions such as eliminating leaks, installing water-saving equipment and raising user awareness, all leading to a significant reduction in water consumption.
Our Fleet
CEVA Logistics is expanding its vehicle fleet with low carbon vehicles. Between 2024 and 2025, CEVA increased its low carbon vehicles fleet by 38%, reaching a total of 1,591 alternative fuel vehicles, including electric ones. The number of electric vehicles increased by 25% and the company plans to reach 1,750 low carbon vehicles in its ground operations in 2026, strategically replacing older models with more efficient alternatives during each renewal cycle. We subcontract most of our road business, selecting our carriers based on operational and environmental performance.
We use alternative fuels to start reducing carbon emissions immediately. CEVA Logistics’ Ground & Rail and Finished Vehicles Logistics activities currently operate using (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) and B100 biofuels, enabling up to a 90% reduction in emissions (Well-to-Wheel). CEVA Logistics made significant investments to expand its capacity to use HVO in the United Kingdom with dedicated infrastructure and tanks across 18 sites.
We are investing in innovative solutions aimed at optimizing our operational performance and therefore reducing our environmental footprint, including intelligent routing and advanced forecasting and modelling to reduce deliveries and maximize space.
