Commitment to Sustainable Development
The change towards more sustainable logistics can only succeed at the international level.

China is Hamburg’s top customer with a container throughput of over two million TEU per year. To further strengthen our valued relationships and establish new ones, it is essential for us to maintain a local presence”, says Volker Werner, Director of Sales at HHLA.
A European Leader in Sustainable Rail
Setting its mark as an international energy hub, Germany’s largest All-Purpose Port is on its way to greener transportation infrastructure through sustainability-oriented rail connections to Central and Southeastern Europe: under this main heading, the 5th German Logistics Roundtable, staged by the Hamburg Liaison Office (HLO), Port of Hamburg Marketing, HHLA, TSIT and DB Cargo Transasia, not only turned the spotlight on the themes of environment and energy.
Over 60 guests attended. “The strong interest from guests at our exhibition stand and the roundtable demonstrates that we are on the right track with our focus on sustainability at CIIE. In this context, we can work with our partners to define and develop sustainable supply chains”, says Axel Mattern, CEO of Port of Hamburg Marketing (HHM).
Strengthening Sino-German Relations

established at the North Bund Forum 2024, indicating a reduction in shipping activities’ environmental impact while promoting sustainable development in maritime transport.
