Dear Partners

As a socially responsible corporate citizen, the AGS group and its network of 125 branches, operating in 75 countries, accepts its responsibility towards the environment and sustainable development through local campaigns.

As an international removals company, AGS places the environment and people at the centre of its activities. Since 2009, the AGS group has been taking part in the United Nations' Global Compact and promotes the 10 principles set forth in the initiative.

The objective is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, to protect biodiversity and to promote local socio-economic development.

Climate change is one of the greatest environmental challenges of our time. Every year 9 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide is absorbed by trees, but millions are destroyed every year. AGS has therefore chosen to compensate for the environmental impact that is inherent to its business activity (packing material and carbon dioxide emissions during transportation).

For every international removal operation of more than 10 m³, AGS will plant a tree.

By combining our efforts, we will succeed in saving our planet. Let us work together for the environment.

We acknowledge that we have an environmental role to play by ensuring that the impact of our business activity on the environment is controlled. Click here to find out more about AGS' environmental initiatives.
