Our Mission – to help clients succeed by overcoming their logistical constraints – helped us to develop this model. Our Vision – to be our clients’ growth partner – and our Values – passion, commitment, innovation, solidarity and trust – help us drive this model forward daily.
In fact, GEODIS' Mission, Vision and Values make up our DNA, and we apply them on an operational level through our 7 Golden Rules and 7 Leadership Principles.
7 Golden Rules
GEODIS’ 7 Golden Rules define our operating principles and create a common language that sets us apart from all other providers in the market. They allow every employee to speak with one voice and work towards a common goal. We monitor each of the Golden Rules annually through one or more performance indicators.
7 Leadership Principles
At GEODIS, we rely on the commitment of our employees to take us to the highest level in our market. We therefore established 7 Leadership Principles to guide our choices and actions.
Measuring our success
When it comes to assessing this ambitious Business Excellence approach, we measure progress yearly through satisfaction surveys as well as through evaluations according to international standards such as ISO certifications. This approach to continuous improvement has proved successful, and has allowed the Group to reach our current position among the top ten worldwide leaders in logistics and transport.
A Business Excellence Model for competitive advantage
Our Business Excellence Model provides competitive advantages for both GEODIS and our clients:
- Our Five Lines of Business (Freight Forwarding, Contract Logistics, Distribution & Express, Road Transport, Supply Chain Optimization) provide complementary and comprehensive coverage for all logistics and transport needs.
