Sustainability
The obviousness that isn’t a given
The formula for reaching our vision
In 1992 InterEast was founded to bring back trust and quality to an industry suffering from unreliability. InterEast was and still is a family-owned business that offers sustainable and high-quality transport solutions. With a clear vision, strategy, and a razor-sharp focus on development, we plan to continue to grow and evolve with our clients.
At InterEast each and every gram weighs the same. Now you might think that sounds obvious, but it translates to the fundament of how we behave. To be frank: in our industry excellent service is unfortunately not a given. That is why we do our very best to make sure that you as a client feel safe knowing that we will keep you in the loop concerning your shipments. And that you never have to wait for us to pick up the phone or answer your email. Service is what we offer. It is our edge and our very core. We have an average answering time of 14 seconds during office hours. Put us to the test here >>
Our polestar
Vision 25by25
25% of our products shall be climate-neutral, 25% of our processes is entirely automated and we aim to be ranked top 25 best places to work in Sweden by 2025.
Long-term sustainability
Environmental Policy
We believe that sustainability needs to be found in every part of our organisation: from profitability and environmental considerations to community engagements. Our goal is that 25% of all of our transports shall be climate neutral, by 2025. That is a big commitment. Our first step was to make our administration climate-neutral. Which we did during 2020. This work has given us a great foundation to build from. We are well aware of the huge challenges ahead to make this industry sustainable while being a small player. We focus on being part of the solution – not the problem. InterEast shall at every occasion, from the viewpoint of clients’ needs and societal concerns, carry out qualified transport solutions in line with the following guidelines:
• Strive for methods that entail improvements for the external environment and that decrease the organization’s impact on the environment.
• Strive to be one step ahead of environmental legislative requirements so that the company, together with our suppliers, contributes towards social development in tune with the environment and recycling.
• Employ suppliers whose work is in line with this policy.
• Decrease the company’s own consumption of finite resources.
• Month BAF 43,8% CAF 28,9%

In addition to continuing to improve our operations, further our collaborations to promote social development, we will soon present more sustainable transport alternatives. You as a client should always be presented with a sustainable option for your shipment – given that choice is given for us. We are well aware of the huge challenges ahead to make this industry sustainable while being a small player. Knowing that we aim to be the Supply Chain Revolution that others can look up to.
