GLS

DELIVER Europe 2026 brought together some of the key voices in e-commerce, retail, and logistics, and we were proud to be one of the main sponsors. With 17 delegates representing 8 GLS entities across Europe, we held 150 meetings with potential customers, partners, and industry stakeholders, strengthening existing relationships and starting new conversations. A real highlight was receiving the Customer Experience Award for our FlexDeliveryService, enabled by Bettermile, alongside being recognised among the top three carriers in the Brand Excellence and Game Changer categories. The stage also gave us the opportunity to share our perspective, with a keynote by Luuk Speksnijder, Managing Director of General Logistics Systems Netherlands, on how digital innovation is reshaping the last mile, from changing consumer expectations to the role of technology in creating a better delivery experience. A big thank you to all our colleagues who made this event such a success! #DELIVEREurope2026 #GLS #ParcelstoPeople

We continue to expand our out-of-home network across Europe 📦 GLS France has acquired the Relais Colis parcel shop network — nearly 7,000 locations that strengthen our OOH offering in one of our key markets.

Real change happens when we work together. That’s why we’ve joined the Smart Freight Centre (SFC) Community. Smart Freight Centre is an international non-profit organisation focused on reducing the emission impacts of global freight transportation. By collaborating with global partners and tapping into SFC’s industry-leading network, we’re taking steps towards achieving our GHG emission reduction targets. Robert Groh, our Group Director Environment & Climate Strategy attended Smart Freight Week for the first time, gaining valuable insights across the industry: “This event was a great opportunity to connect across the freight and parcel ecosystem and to exchange on decarbonisation with shippers, carriers, technology providers and policymakers.” Key takeaways: 📊 Standardisation, data quality and assurance are becoming critical to build trust in Scope 3 emissions reporting across the entire value-chain. 🤝 Decarbonisation is not a standalone (ESG) reporting exercise – it requires data capabilities, strong partnerships, technical know-how and close sector collaboration. 🚀 The conversation is shifting from ambition to action - from pilots to industry practice - with a clear need for solutions that deliver both carbon reduction and cost efficiency. We highly value Smart Freight Centre’s leadership and its commitment to building industry standards for decarbonisation.
