Sustainability
At AB Texel, we take our responsibility. We want to be a sustainable partner. We realise this by reducing our negative impact on the environment and wider society, being an excellent employer for our employees and a valued collaborative partner in the chain.
The video below explains our sustainability strategy in 90 seconds.
Our employees
Ensuring that we have a positive impact as an employer is a vital part of our sustainability strategy. At AB, it is important that employees enjoy their work and are committed to the company. We aim to be an employer that employees speak proudly of and where they feel at home. That's something we invest in. For instance, we offer customised training courses via our own AB Move on Academy, organise meet ups through our AB Cafés and have our own AB Fit programme to promote employee fitness. This programme supports both physical and mental health. We also use our own communication platform to communicate quickly and easily with our employees.

Transport and respectful partnerships
Not only do we want to be an attractive employer, we also want to be a valued collaborative partner in the chain. And, alongside these two pillars, transport is the third vital pillar in our sustainability strategy.
Transport
Our transport that runs on fossil fuels emits CO2. And as road users, we also share a responsibility to positively influence road safety. Together with our partners, we aim to reduce our CO2 emissions per ton/kilometre by at least 40% in 2030, and achieve net zero by 2050. We achieve this by using alternative fuels, reducing fuel consumption and focusing on technical innovation in our fleet and chain optimisation. We are also working hard to achieve optimum levels of safety in the workplace and on the road. We place particular emphasis on accident and injury prevention. Our drivers take part in compulsory and voluntary health and safety training courses. We employ our own driving style coaches, who help our drivers to drive more economically. This saves fuel, and our drivers tell us that they feel much more relaxed when driving after completing a coaching programme. Naturally, we also invest in ensuring the availability of the highest quality equipment. We continuously maintain, renew and optimise our fleet.
Respectful partnerships
Our ambition is to establish long-term and transparent partnerships with chain partners, in order to realise collective ambitions and provide added value. AB is a committed and reliable partner, which is why we invest in strong business relationships with our collaborative partners.
