The competition, implemented as part of the Women in Logistics Forum, was initiated by the Forum community. The aim of this exclusive distinction is to promote the best practices in the ESG area and activities aligned with sustainable development. Above all, it aims to distinguish companies that exemplary implement ESG strategies in their organizations.

The CRSD Directive on corporate sustainability reporting has been in force since December 2022. It imposes new requirements for non-financial reporting on ESG activities (Environmental, Social, Corporate Governance) – now extending this obligation to all companies.
