Global Logistics with a Future
Sustainability at Skyline Express
Sustainability is not a new topic at Skyline Express – it has been an integral part of our corporate culture from the very beginning. Since our founding, we have taken responsibility – for our employees, our partners, our region, and the environment.
“For us, sustainability means taking responsibility in all areas – economic, ecological, and social. Because only those who act responsibly today can shape a secure future for tomorrow.”
That’s why we continuously develop our processes and focus on long-term partnerships. We understand sustainability as a mindset – reflected in our commitment to the environment and climate, fair working conditions, and value-based corporate governance.
Award-Winning Sustainability
We are proud winners of the CSR Award OWL 2024!
This recognition stands for responsible corporate management, lived sustainability, and outstanding social engagement among companies in the East Westphalia-Lippe region.
Sustainability has always been an essential part of our business operations – now it has also been visibly recognized.
With our strong regional commitment, which we consider self-evident, we took first place in the category “Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs).”
We are especially proud of this award, as it shows that taking responsibility pays off – for our environment, our employees, and the community in our region.
The CSR Award is presented every two years by the CSR Competence Center OWL, the GILDE Economic Development Agency Detmold, and the Initiative for Employment OWL e. V.
Sustainability in Practice
Sustainability at Skyline Express is reflected in many aspects of our daily operations. To make our commitment visible, we have defined three central areas of action: Environment, Social Responsibility, and Governance.
In these areas, we combine our initiatives, continuously develop new measures, and set targeted impulses for responsible corporate development.
Environment & Climate
Protecting the environment and climate is a key part of our corporate responsibility.
As a logistics service provider, we cannot influence every factor – but within our scope of action, we operate consciously and responsibly.
We rely on energy-efficient infrastructure, use sustainable energy sources, and promote environmentally friendly mobility at our sites. Modern lighting systems, renewable energy use, and charging stations for electric vehicles are standard for us.
Beyond that, we are committed to preserving biodiversity.
Our company premises in Lage provide a habitat for plants and animals – maintained through small projects such as our own beehives and green spaces. We also regularly support regional initiatives such as reforestation projects to contribute to environmental regeneration.
Our goal is to integrate ecological responsibility into every aspect of our operations – from energy supply and work processes to sustainable logistics solutions.

Social Responsibility
Our dedicated employees are the foundation of Skyline Express and play a decisive role in our success.
By promoting their skills and fostering a supportive, motivating company culture, we ensure both our future viability and employee satisfaction – as an attractive employer in the region.
Working Conditions & Work-Life Balance
We promote equal opportunities and diversity while creating conditions that help balance work and private life.
Flexible working hours, mobile work options, and individual models are part of our daily routine – just like mutual respect, openness, and a strong team spirit.
Occupational Safety & Health
The health and well-being of our employees are top priorities. Ergonomic workplaces, sports and health programs, and shared activities strengthen our sense of unity and provide balance in everyday life.
Whether at company runs, team events, or in the office – we value an environment that motivates and connects.
Training & Development
Education and training are close to our hearts.
We regularly offer apprenticeships in commercial and industrial fields, promote internal training, and give our trainees the opportunity to think outside the box – for example through projects on digitalization or sustainability.
Social Commitment
As a regionally rooted company, we take responsibility beyond our own operations. Together with local institutions, municipalities, and initiatives, we are committed to creating a safe and livable environment.
Our focus lies in sports, education, and animal welfare – through targeted sponsorships, donations, and personal involvement.
Sponsorships and Donations
Our sponsorship partnerships underline our commitment to the region. By supporting the White Hawks American football team, the Lopshorn Classics equestrian tournament, and Bikesport Lippe, we promote sports and community spirit. Animal welfare organizations and social institutions in our region also benefit regularly from our support.
Governance
Governance – or responsible corporate management – is an essential part of sustainable business for us.
It forms the basis for transparent structures, ethical conduct, and long-term success.
At Skyline Express, this includes clear leadership, a strong company culture, compliance with laws and standards, and strong partnerships.
Corporate Management & Culture
Our company culture is shaped by community, trust, and innovation. We believe that a positive work environment is the foundation for both personal and business success. Our management focuses on open, proactive, and future-oriented leadership that encourages initiative and creative problem-solving.
To underline our commitment as a responsible logistics partner, we joined the UN Global Compact in 2023 – the world’s largest initiative for sustainable corporate governance. By doing so, we commit to its ten principles of responsible business conduct and actively contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Compliance
Legality, integrity, and transparency are fundamental to our daily operations. We strictly adhere to legal requirements, internal policies, and ethical standards. Regular training and information sessions ensure that our employees are always up to date with relevant developments.
A key component of our quality management is ISO 9001 certification, which stands for clear processes, traceable workflows, and continuous improvement of our services – always aiming for the highest quality and safety standards.
Partnerships
Partnerships are a core element of our business model. We are globally connected with reliable partner companies that share our values and quality standards.
Locally, we are represented by experienced organizations that resemble us in many ways – together, we serve our customers efficiently, flexibly, and reliably. Sustainable business thrives through collaboration, which is why we actively participate in networks to share knowledge, learn from others, and drive sustainability initiatives forward.
