Responsibility
Operating with integrity and respect.
Drawing on our Swiss heritage, Ryder has a long-standing track record of minimising our environmental impact, creating a great work environment for our employees and maximising our positive impact within the community.
We take great pride in a range of initiatives that enhance employee well-being, contribute to social value and support a positive and diverse workplace. This results in high employee satisfaction and strong employee retention, meaning constantly rising skills and performance.
We also run a set of programmes for the local community, providing engagement for our employees’ families and running educational tours for local schools.
We are proud to have been awarded a Silver rating from the Responsible Business Alliance for our China factories. This certification programme evaluates our labour, ethics, occupational health & safety and environmental practices, as well as supporting management systems. Our Silver rating puts us far above the average relative to our industry peers.
At Ryder, we are committed to continually advancing our environmental sustainability.
We were early movers in 2013 by investing in Solar PV energy and ground-source heat pumps and today one third of our energy is renewable. We have developed an on-site materials recycling centre and made significant reductions in water consumption.
