DSV, a global logistics leader, celebrated the launch of its first renewable energy [1]assets at its Landskrona warehouse facilities in Sweden.
This strategic move signifies a milestone in DSV’s journey toward achieving net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050. The new facilities feature more than 100,000 square meters of rooftop solar panels, which generate 14 MWp of renewable energy. This energy production is sufficient to power about 1,400 households annually.
The renewable energy generated at Landskrona not only powers DSV’s operations but also supplies additional energy back to the local grid. This project underlines DSV’s dedication to sustainability and innovation, benefiting both its operations and its customers’ decarbonization objectives.
Brian Ejsing, Group COO of DSV, highlighted that this initiative goes beyond powering their operations. It aims to create a sustainable energy approach for DSV and its customers, particularly in sectors like road transportation.
This move is essential for electrifying road haulage services and enhancing energy security.
The Landskrona facilities serve as a pilot project for future logistics infrastructure developments. Together with DSV’s newly opened 345,000 square meter logistics center in Horsens, Denmark, the project aims to create a platform for more sustainable warehousing and road transportation solutions.
Anders Rousing, Vice President of Group Operational Sustainability, emphasized that launching state-of-the-art renewable energy assets is a key milestone in DSV’s decarbonization journey. The insights gained from these projects will help shape best practices for future endeavors.
This initiative supports DSV’s broader sustainability strategy, focusing on reducing energy demand and reliance on fossil fuels. The renewable energy program is managed by DSV Energy, a division within DSV’s sustainability portfolio responsible for overseeing renewable energy efforts.
