Sustainability is a process we’re happy to be a part of.

Petrex is proud to announce their continued excellent EcoVadis rating. For 2024, the CSR rating provider EcoVadis evaluated our efforts in the area of sustainability based on four key categories: environmental impact, labor, and human rights standards, ethics, and procurement practices. We are pleased to once again receive the platinum medal, which puts us at the forefront of the industry.

We appreciate the close cooperation with suppliers, customers, and partners to be more sustainable.

Any questions, please let us know.

Petrex GmbH wishes a joyful Advent time!

Petrex GmbH wishes a joyful Advent time!

We wish you a beautiful and contemplative Advent time with your loved ones. Instead of sending gifts, we decided to invest in environmental protection this year. That’s why we have supported Plastic Fischer GmbH financially.

About Plastic Fischer

Plastic Fischer collects plastic from rivers, primarily in India, Indonesia and Vietnam. With the help of the so-called TrashBooms, a kind of floating garbage collection station, a large amount of plastic can be removed efficiently before it lands in the oceans of the world. The plants are maintained by local residents, who receive a full-time job in return. They also help to sort the garbage. In addition, recyclable plastics are to be sold to recycling companies in the future and collection technologies may be leased or licensed.

Sustainability at Petrex GmbH

To develop long-term sustainable business processes is also our goal for 2022. It is our conviction to constantly keep this task in mind with well-thought-out actions. This year, we were already able to record initial successes when we achieved a platinum medal in the EcoVadis sustainability rating.

Container shortage: No improvement in sight!

Container shortage: No improvement in sight!

This year, global supply chains were once again confronted with serious delays. In addition to rising freight rates and longer transit times, this also led to the general congestion of ports. As consequence, there is still a shortage of containers.

Causes of container shortage

Due to disruptions in the shipping schedule, empty containers are not returned in time. There was also an increase in blank sailing leading to delayed container handling. As a result, containers are stacked at ports, which further slows down logistics processes.

Outlook in 2022

Improvements in the current situation are not expected to occur until early next year. The Chinese New Year will lead to a temporary reduction in Chinese logistics activities, which will have a positive impact on the global logistics situation. Around 60,000 to 70,000 new containers are also expected to go into operation globally in mid-2022. In the long term, some new ship orders can also be awaited to improve the shipping availability on the market.

Have you seen our code of conduct?

Have you seen our code of conduct?

Ethics, sustainability and self-commitment are not verbiages for us, but buzzwords we are convinced of and stand for. In our code of conduct, we have recorded our essential behaviors. Our business partners must meet high standards, along with high quality.

About the Code of conduct

The Code of Conduct provides a collection of binding behaviors in internal and external business environments. Contents of the rules cover various areas but there is no prescriptive form. The more comprehensive the rules are, the better and more effective they can be applied.

Our values

We stand for honesty, openness and transparency, which is why we do not tolerate bribery and corruption. Due to our social responsibility, we do not accept any discrimination in the internal and external business environment. But our efforts are not only limited to publishing documents, we also actively implemented sustainability aspects. Accordingly, we are proud to announce that we have received an EcoVadis certification this year again. Learn more about our Code of Conduct here.
