CSR & SDGs
Mesterflyt wants to create a sustainable future for moving in a global and changing world. With our sustainability strategy, we want to rethink solutions for the entire value chain, from planning, execution and completion of a moving process, which often involves many more steps than just the physical moving element.
Our purpose is to maintain a strong environmental future for the world we live in as we help fulfill the needs of our customers without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
We are proud to announce that we have received a bronze award from EcoVadis!
This recognizes our dedication to sustainability and responsible business practices. We have worked hard to integrate environmentally friendly initiatives and ethically sound processes into every aspect of our business and this award is a testament to our efforts.

ESG report
At Mesterflyt , sustainability and social responsibility are tightly interwoven at our core, and we see it as our mission to contribute to a world where both people and planet can thrive. With a sharp focus on innovation, responsibility and human development, we are building a future that is sustainable in every aspect.
Although we are not subject to legal requirements for ESG reporting, we have chosen to produce this report to increase transparency, strengthen our sustainability profile and ensure a strategic direction for our ESG work.
"We have a huge responsibility to provide customers with climate-friendly and responsibly arranged moves. And we are very aware that we are borrowing and using society's shared resources to do so"
This ambition requires an in-depth focus on sustainability throughout the value chain.
At the core of our CSR strategy is the ambition to form partnerships that can lead us towards long-term and sustainable solutions. In addition, the strategy seeks opportunities for sustainable transportation, sustainable packaging materials and equal jobs for all. We want to ensure continuous innovative development in the market in close collaboration with customers, suppliers and partners.
We consider all the SDGs in every strategic decision we make. However, from 2020 we have chosen to put extra effort into goals 12 and 13 and partnered with Save the Children, who are working towards goals 4, 5, 10 & 16.
Among our efforts for Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production, we have chosen that all our packaging materials should be produced in a way that preserves forests and uses recyclable cardboard.
That's why our packaging boxes are made from a minimum of 70% recycled FSC-labeled paper and 25% sustainably sourced wood. Once the box has served its purpose, it is taken to a recycling center where the cardboard is recycled and used to make a moving box again. In this way, we are making another effort to meet UN Sustainable Development Goal number 12: RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION
