ECT is at the heart of society and is well aware of its societal responsibilities. Internal and external.
CODE OF CONDUCT
It is not just our environment that imposes high standards on the way we work: we impose these high standards on ourselves. To supply quality and work carefully, we need to make safety and integrity our highest priorities. At ECT we put safety – of people and the environment – top of the list. Always. We act according to the applicable Code of Conduct.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
One of the most important agenda items of the policy is to reduce the carbon footprint. Not only our own, but also that of our customers and employees.
To achieve significant results here, measures have been taken in the entire business operations; from the transhipment of containers at the deepsea terminal to the hinterland transport and the inland terminals. ECT has developed a master plan for this in recent years, resulting in a decrease of more than 20% of CO2 emissions. The ECT Euromax terminal is one of the most sustainable terminals in the world. Our goal is to operate emission free in 2035, on both the ECT Delta as the ECT Euromax terminal.
ECT has won several "Lean & Green" awards for our sustainabilty programme. Lean and Green is a national initiative for stimulating sustainable entrepreneurship in the logistics sector.

COLLECTIVE COMPANY TRANSPORT
ECT is the second largest provider of collective business transport in the Netherlands. More than 900 employees commute via the bus transport organised by ECT, which connects the entire region with the Maasvlakte around the clock. This saves more than thirteen million car kilometers annually. This results in approximately 1,800 tonnes less CO2 emissions.
