Our Understanding of Good Governance

At Integre Trans, we recognize that good governance is not merely a concept, but a practice rooted in organized processes, clear responsibilities, and dedicated individuals. Central to our approach is the establishment of a solid foundation. We believe that all principles guiding our company's activities, spanning from our comprehensive code of ethics to stringent data protection measures, must be meticulously described and communicated to every employee. This ensures that the entire team shares a unified understanding of our company's direction and values. Our commitment to transparent and ethical business practices is embodied in more than 10 essential documents, with the Code of Ethics and Social Responsibility standing as a cornerstone among them which includes: attention to our clients; attention to our employees; integration of the most recent technologies; ensuring security and quality; ensuring personal data protection; attention to the environment (implementation of ESG principles); ensuring equal rights, opportunities for people and work; prevention of discrimination and harassment; intolerance of forced labour and child labour; ensuring safe driving during trainings; implementation of provisions in relation to worktime; ensuring adequate wages and related privileges; ensuring employees’ health and safety; ensuring business integrity (prevention of bribery); ensuring fair competition, prevention of corruption, money laundering and terrorist financing.

These themes reveal our commitment to employees, customers, and other stakeholders, thus ensuring the implementation of good governance. Our commitments in terms of sustainable business development are also revealed by the integrated UN Sustainable Development Goals, which we have embedded into 11 out of 17.

The Transformative Role of Innovations and Digitalization

No less than the leadership role and competent team needed to ensure good governance practices, innovation and digitalization are becoming extremely important in today's context. In the realm of good governance, innovations and digitalization redefine how a transport logistics company operates. By integrating digital solutions, we streamline processes, enhance transparency, and strengthen accountability. Real-time data analytics guide our decisions, enabling proactive risk management and precise resource allocation. These technologies not only optimize efficiency but also uphold ethical standards, ensuring that our governance practices remain robust and responsive. Embracing innovation, we elevate our commitment to effective governance, driving continuous improvement and reliability in our services.

These principles are not just buzzwords; they are helping us attract and retain customers, meet the expectations of stakeholders, and ensure regulatory compliance. As the business world rapidly adapts, we're already preparing for forthcoming changes such as the CSRD directive, which will soon become one of the most important components of every business.
