Introducing our new Sustainability Report 2023
In which we report on the goals achieved by Andamur through our CSR plan
#TakingCareOfWhatMatters
The Andamur sustainability model, titled #TakingCareOfWhatMatters, revolves around 5 FOCUS AREAS based on the main norms and standards of social responsibility, as well as actively listening to our stakeholders. Below we report on the actions carried out in 2023.
People are at the heart of our success and are the driving force behind every achievement
Which is why we foster the well-being, diversity, equality and personal and professional development of everyone involved in the company, with the goal of creating a workplace where everyone can thrive, grow and contribute to the shared success of our business.
In this area, we have a special focus on achieving the United Nations SDGs:
We are truly committed to diversity and gender equality. We actively work to promote equality between men and women at all levels, both internally in our organisation and externally in the transport industry. We constantly undertake new initiatives and events with this commitment rooted in our business culture.
According to European Commission figures, only 22% of transport professionals and around 3-4% of truck drivers in Europe are women.
At Andamur we strive to give visibility to the essential role that women play in the road transport industry. We recognise their work and endeavour to make the sector increasingly attractive to women through various initiatives that we have been working on since 2019:
At Andamur, we are guided by the principles of non-discrimination and respect for diversity in all our labour relations. We value equal access to employment, training, professional advancement, work-life balance and equal conditions as essential elements to achieve full equality in our workplace.
At Andamur we prioritise the job stability of our employees. 97% percent of our contracts are permanent, a strong indicator of this commitment.
Offering permanent contracts boosts employees’ sense of security and motivation, which in turn increases productivity and loyalty to the company.
Training is key at Andamur as a driver of our team members’ personal development.
We know that training and acquiring new knowledge is a very valuable investment for the company in the pursuit of two key objectives: ensuring an exceptional service for our customers and developing talent as an integral part of our Corporate Social Responsibility strategy.
Making sure that the Andamur team operate in a safe and healthy work environment is one of our cornerstones when it comes to people.
To ensure safety, well-being and satisfaction in the workplace, we implement essential measures in the design and layout of our facilities, as well as in the configuration of workstations and equipment. These measures are established to provide adequate safety and avoid situations that may compromise our workers’ health and personal safety.
Over the past year, at Andamur we held a series of events and activities designed to boost team spirit, recognize our employees’ effort and commitment and foster a collaborative environment.
From our annual company lunch to volunteering days and activities for our team’s children, we have endeavoured to promote values such as self-improvement, commitment and cooperation in all our actions.
There are a number of essentials that help maintain their health and well-being as drivers, deal with the challenges of their profession and improve their quality of life.
We show our appreciation for drivers every day, providing them with access to exercise and a healthy diet, supporting their ergonomics at the wheel and promoting rest or leisure during their breaks on their long routes.
We have a commitment to drivers, which is why taking care of them is one of Andamur’s most strategic areas of work within these SDGs:
Recognising the vital role of drivers in the transport industry, we focus our efforts on providing facilities and services that not only meet their practical needs but also contribute to improving their quality of life while on the road.
Actions undertaken:
Healthy eating should be a priority for everyone and especially for people who spend long periods away from home for their work like truck drivers. Which is why encouraging this good habit among them is a priority for Andamur.
Actions undertaken:
Encouraging exercise among drivers during their breaks at our service areas and helping them be as active as possible is one of our Exercise on the Road goals.
Actions undertaken:
Being present and cooperating with organisations in various fields that work every day to reduce inequalities and improve the living conditions of many people, as well as those that cultivate values among young people such as sports organisations.
You Decide continues to give strength and impetus to those who need it most. “As this edition comes to a close, 24 organisations have received Andamur’s support to continue working on these much-needed projects”
Our customers chose which great causes the € 30,000 of this Corporate Social Responsibility campaign would be donated to, giving them a voice and a vote. The proposed charities to receive the donations were at various levels: local/regional, national and international.
We align our strategies, processes and our business in general with the goal of adopting sustainable solutions that mitigate our impact on the climate and the planet.
We achieved CO2 neutrality by completing the Calculate-Reduce-Offset cycle that we started in 2018, earning us the Spanish Environment Ministry’s Seal for Carbon Footprint Registration, Offsetting and CO2 Absorption Projects.
Andamur is fundamentally committed to the environment, which is why we implement measures that promote responsible consumption wherever possible.
Actions undertaken:
Energy transition is essential in the transport industry. Our goal is to ensure our customers have access to the energy they need, both now and in the future.
With our Corporate Forests we support biodiversity and contribute to the fight against desertification in the South of Spain.
Cleaning up natural spaces in the Cope-Calnegre Regional Park is one of our main environmental volunteering actions.
At Andamur we are subject to strict environmental regulations at European, national, regional and local levels in various areas: water, energy, emissions, effluents and waste.
Following the performance evaluation of Andamur’s EMS (Environmental Management System), we have obtained a result of 96.43% of the objectives set. You can download this file in high quality by clicking here.
We are committed to ensuring that these values permeate all our interactions with our stakeholders.
At the beginning of 2023, Andamur took an important step by implementing Criminal Compliance, a strategic measure designed to prevent offences that may be committed under the protection of a legal entity. The purpose of this initiative is to safeguard the company’s integrity and good name, while protecting it against any legal implications that may arise.
For Andamur, ensuring data security and integrity is critical. Our approach to data ethics encompasses information security and integrity, with high standards to protect both our customers and ourselves. Effective integration of information security in our daily operations is vital to delivering quality and ensuring our customers’ and partners’ trust and satisfaction.
For the presentation of the report we shared a series of videos with the main milestones in terms of sustainability achieved in 2022. Members of the Andamur team have been in charge of presenting the actions and areas in which they have played an active part.
