Constantly-renewed fleet and training for drivers
Sustainability lies at the heart of Transmec Group's operations, demonstrated by the continual renewal of its fleet, currently comprised of Euro VI vehicles and 80% eco-friendly trailers. This enables us to reduce fuel consumption and emissions through the use of state-of-the-art technologies. Simultaneously, we invest in training for drivers for safe and environmentally-responsible driving.
Innovations in road transport
To reduce its environmental impact, the Group has expanded its fleet with ten next-generation trucks powered by natural gas, the most ecological fuel for internal combustion engines. Among the main advantages is a significant improvement in air quality and the mitigation of global warming, achieved through a substantial decrease in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions compared to an equivalent diesel engine. Another benefit is the drastic reduction in noise pollution, substantially contributing to improving the quality of life in urban areas.
Investments in intermodal transport
Since its origins, the Group has demonstrated a forward-thinking approach to intermodal transport. This strategic perspective has materialised through continuous investments over the years, culminating in 2016 with the inauguration of its own intermodal terminal in Romania. The Group has acquired not only terminal management but also ownership of trains and trailers, thus consolidating its presence along the entire logistics chain.
Green logistics hubs in London and Campogalliano
In response to the growing requirements of customers, Transmec UK has recently relocated its headquarters to a modern 14,000 sqm hub in the prestigious London Gateway area, constructed to meet BREEAM criteria, the world's leading sustainability standard for construction, with an "outstanding" rating ensuring a 30% reduction in carbon during the construction phase and a 40% reduction in emissions during the full operational regime.
Similarly, the newly-constructed logistics area in Campogalliano, spanning approximately 50,000 sqm, fully complies with APEA (Ecologically Equipped Productive Areas) standards. The construction of the new buildings meticulously adheres to design criteria aimed at high energy efficiency and thermal inertia.
Photovoltaic system
2023 saw the installation of three self-consumption photovoltaic systems, one dedicated to each asset of the Campogalliano headquarters; a fundamental step in the Group's ecological transition. By harnessing solar energy, the company aims to autonomously generate clean and renewable energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. A total of 3,228 photovoltaic modules have been installed, capable of generating a total annual energy yield of 1,852.11 MWh.

People
Diversity and inclusion
Transmec is actively committed to promoting a working environment in which diversity and inclusion are the main catalysts, as demonstrated by the presence of 28 different nationalities in the corporate structure.
Traditionally in the transport and logistics sector, there is a greater preponderance of the male gender, equal to 66% of the total. Nevertheless, by analyzing some specificities, for example, the Group’s Italian headquarters reached a significant goal with women making up 49% of its employees. An important milestone has also been reached within Transmec Romania, since, with reference to drivers, 18% of this role is carried out by females.
Red bench against violence
As a tangible symbol of its commitment to fight violence against women and gender discrimination, in 2020 the Group installed a red anti-violence bench at the entrance of the Campogalliano headquarters. This initiative constitutes a visible sign and continues to testify to Transmec's strong commitment to a more aware and fair society.
The same year, as an integral part of a network of companies aimed at preventing and combating gender-based violence and discrimination within and outside the workplace, Transmec received the Libellula Award.
Welfare
The Group’s commitment to the well-being of its employees goes beyond the economic dimension, promoting the physical and mental health of its employees through health care and psychophysical well-being programmes. To this end, Transmec has established welfare programmes in different countries, adapted to different regulatory contexts, in order to guarantee its employees benefits and services. The aim of these actions is to improve worker satisfaction and to create an increasingly caring working environment for the well-being of people, not only inside but also outside the business context.
Academy
Transmec founded its Academy in 2023: it was conceived as an environment of exchange, comparison and growth, where employees can increase their skills in a stimulating and collaborative context. The Academy presents brand new facilities dedicated to it, equipped with the most advanced technological supports designed to facilitate both in presence and remote participation. The training methods implemented have seen the use of in-presence training, virtual class and e-learning to allow an extensive involvement of the company population.
Corporate social responsibility
With a strong vision focused on community development and supporting emerging talents, the Group is actively committed to supporting local communities through initiatives aimed at improving quality of life, promoting social well-being, and driving economic growth in the region. Since its foundation, Transmec has championed essential social values such as solidarity and inclusion by supporting various sports organisations, including basketball, rugby, cycling, Thai boxing, and gymnastics. This is a clear demonstration of the company's commitment to giving back to the communities in which it operates.
Governance
Quality system
Quality for Transmec Group primarily means safety and environmental responsibility. Constant focus is placed on safety in transportation and work, with targeted investments to ensure high standards. The Group holds prestigious certifications, including ISO 9001 for service quality, TAPA for transport management security, ISO 14001 for environmental commitment, and ISO 45001 for health and safety in the workplace. Additionally, ISAE 3402 certification attests to the adequacy of internal controls, demonstrating a cross-cutting commitment to quality and operational excellence.
Digitalisation
Transmec has undertaken several digitization projects that improve operational efficiency and reduce environmental impact, aligning with ESG objectives. These projects include the use of advanced systems for logistics and fleet management, the implementation of platforms for remote management and tracking of shipments, as well as document digitization.
Code of ethics
The Code of Ethics contains the set of values and principles underlying the Group’s activities. In addition to informing stakeholders of the company’s commitment to combat illicit practices, the purpose of this document is also to spread greater awareness of company policies among all employees. The Code of Ethics is widely distributed both within the company structure, by the delivery of a copy of the document to each worker, and externally, thanks to its presence on the website. During 2018, the Code of Ethics was supplemented with a Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Declaration.
Whistleblowing
Consolidating its commitment to transparency and corporate integrity, the Group has activated a whistleblowing platform, a dedicated channel specifically designed to promote an organisational environment characterised by clarity and ethics. In addition to being a key tool for reporting unethical or illegal behaviour, it plays a fundamental role in creating a corporate culture where open communication is encouraged and valued.
