Reforestation
For every international removal operation with a volume of more than 10 m3, AGS plants a tree in Mali or in Indonesia.
Reforestation not only combats global warming, it also reinforces economic independence in local communities. Find out more about Planète Urgence and AGS’ reforestation initiative.
Back to topEuropean Lift Vans
Over the last 5 years, AGS has invested extensively in the innovation and modernisation of its equipment, through the creation of the European Lift Van. The European Lift Van combines flexibility, efficiency and security, which reduce the carbon footprint.
Due to the compact size of the European Lift Van, which can be transported via standard carriers, partial loads are prevented, thus reducing the number of trucks on the road.
Back to topFIDI/FAIM Standards
Back to top
In order to maintain our FAIM accreditations, and in accordance with our Quality Control procedures, all AGS branches are subject to regular on-site evaluations. The aim is to assess how well we follow procedures, to guarantee that environmental criteria are respected and that we conform to FIDI’s strict standards.Recycling and Paper
AGS recycles! Plastics, paper and cardboard is sorted for recycling in all our branches. Moreover, ink cartridges are recycled and we print on recycled paper.We encourage the use of emails, both internally and with clients and partners. By reducing fax and mail services, we decrease paper consumption.
Back to topPacking
The supply of packing material, used by all AGS branches, is centralised, thus ensuring superior quality. This material is, of course, recycled.
In addition, specialised packing techniques, specific to the AGS Group, allow for optimized use of space. This reduces volume and the impact of transport on the environment.
Back to topAGS Vehicles
Back to top
AGS implements a preventative and regular maintenance program for all vehicles (trucks, cars, forklifts) to reduce the effect of greenhouse gases on the environment. Moreover, oils from waste and batteries are returned. Maritime and inter-modal freight transportation is used as often as possible. For example, our AGS branch in France frequently uses barges on the Seine to transport 20ft or 40ft containers to Le Havre port for maritime exports.Other Actions
We advise all employees to switch off their computers and lights before leaving the office.
We try to increase staff awareness about environmental issues by involving them in our ecological initiatives, and provide them with information on easy methods to prevent damage to the environment.
