"As the Rhenus Group, we focus on resource-saving services to enable our customers to have sustainable transports and supply chains. The good result at EcoVadis confirms our continuous commitment, which was only made possible by the support of all employees from all units," said Karsten Obert, Board Member of the Rhenus Group.
