Faber Group

From 19 to 28 September, we join the global call to accelerate progress on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. At Faber Group, we act through our Faber Development Goals turning ambition into measurable impact. We start with SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production. Our focus? Reducing waste and extending the lifecycle of our load carriers. Across our divisions, we drive circularity through pooling, 100% certified wood sourcing, digital tracking and repair systems helping customers move from single-use to smart reuse.

🌍 Today is Earth Overshoot Day, the day we’ve used up the Earth’s renewable resources for the year. At Faber Group, we believe in a different way forward. Through reusable load carriers and circular pooling solutions, we help build smart, circular supply chains that lower environmental impact, reduce carbon footprint, and preserve resources. It’s not just about sustainability, it’s about smarter, data-driven logistics that support our customers in meeting regulatory expectations, increasing traceability, and improving supply chain efficiency. Every pallet that’s reused instead of replaced helps move the date forward. Because when we choose reuse over recycle, we choose impact over waste.

Spot the differences! Two years after tree-planting event with LifeTerra 🌲 In the spring of 2023, the leadership team of Faber Group planted together with Life Terra Foundation around 650 trees in a forest which was devastated by a tornado in the area of Aschaffenburg, Germany, as part of our 2023 Leadership Summit. Faber Group more than doubled the amount to 1600 trees to further support the reforestation. LifeTerra recently shared some pictures with us to show what the area looks two years later and it seems hard labour pays off! Can you spot the differences 😉 ? #carryingimpact #sustainability #leadership

Emerging Leaders Faber Group face resilience challenge! Resilience is a vital human trait- and a key asset, especially in a rapidly changing world and within a company like ours, driven by bold ambition. That's why we have made resilience training a core part of our Emerging Leader program. At Faber group, one of our core values is "dare"- so we took a distinctive approach. Resilience isn't built by reading books or simply talking about it. Therefore, we brought our emerging leaders together for a ‘special forces’ style resilience challenge in June. Out in a forest in the east of the Netherlands, they were put to the test for 18 hours without sleep and being physically and mentally tested to the max by a team of special forces professionals. Our emerging leaders had to complete several challenges in which they experienced ‘leadership under stress’ – making tough decisions being out of your comfort zone whilst the clock is ticking. During the drill exercises they felt the importance of taking ownership, collaboration, trust, support, discipline, communication and not giving up – just like in our business environment. After the challenge, multiple participants gave as feedback they were surprised that the limits of the body and mind are far higher than expected when you are pushed out of your comfort zone, which boosts self-confidence and personal growth. They also felt that being and working together in these rather extreme circumstances strengthened their bond as a group of emerging leaders. ‘An experience for life’ as one said. With special thanks to the organizers of the event: New Life Personal, sur5specialforces and Bas Kremer ! Do you like to challenge yourself for a job at Faber Group ?
