The company, which has had an energy management system since 2016, has expanded its scope to diesel traction and has obtained its certificate according to the new version of ISO 50.001: 2018.
Transfesa Logistics has obtained the certification of its energy management system according to the new version ISO 50.001: 2018. The company, which has expanded the scope of this certificate to diesel railway traction, has achieved, with the transition to the current model, a better understanding of the organisation and its context, as well as the expectations and needs of its main stakeholders.
In this way, the leadership of senior management in sustainability matters, as well as the commitment of Transfesa Logistics with its environment, even in the current context of exceptionality, marked by the health emergency situation, in which the company continues working to guarantee the supply of the population, without forgetting to uphold environmentally friendly logistics and low in emissions of CO₂ through the transport of goods by train.
The application of an energy management system based on this regulation joins the initiatives that the company has implemented to achieve a sustainable use of the resources associated with its activity. In this sense, it should be noted that the Musgo (Madrid) and Kehl (Germany) headquarters’ electricity consumption is carbon neutral since their source of electricity is 100% renewable.
Likewise, in the corporate facilities in Madrid, traditional luminaires have been recently changed to LEDs, a measure that has led to an energy savings of 109,125 KWh. In addition to this, Transfesa Logistics, whose hallmark is the transport of goods by rail, offers the most environmentally friendly service, emitting eight times less polluting emissions than road transport and nine times less CO₂, according to Rail Freight Forward data.
For Isabel Núñez, Environmental Manager at Transfesa Logistics, “the expansion of the scope of ISO 50.001 is a sign of our commitment to sustainability. We are aligned with the objectives of the European Green Deal which seeks to curb the effects of climate change. Therefore, we continue to work to contribute to achieving the goal of making Europe the world’s first carbon-neutral continent by 2050. ”
