Standing by our commitments
Our partners for transport & storage
France warehouse
Our choice of transportation and warehouse partners is also a key consideration as we strive to reduce our environmental impact while ensuring a high service level. In 2023, we moved our European Distribution Centre (EDC) from Belgium to Germany and introduced a new UK warehouse. We added a third European warehouse, in France, in 2024.
Our French warehouse is managed by ID Logistics and is ranked BREEAM Excellent. BREEAM is a certification that assesses the sustainability performance of buildings by measuring values across various environmental categories. Located south of Lyon, this warehouse started operations in mid-2024 and allows us to significantly enhance our service level in France, and improve deliveries to Spain, Portugal, Italy and Switzerland.
European Distribution Centre
Our EDC is located in Duisburg in Germany and can be reached by barge from the port of Antwerp. The distribution centre is managed by DSV and is DGNB Gold and EcoVadis Platinum certified. DGNB is a certification assessing a building's performance based on environmental, economic and sociocultural aspects, among others. EcoVadis, on the other hand, evaluates a company’s sustainability performance in areas such as environment, labour and human rights, and sustainable procurement. Having our EDC in Germany allows us to offer next-day delivery in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, while keeping our carbon footprint as low as possible.

partner warehouses
UK warehouse
We opened our first partner warehouse in the UK in 2022, allowing us to streamline transport by receiving shipments directly from our partner factories in Asia, and to offer next-day delivery to our UK customers. In early 2024, we moved to a new, more modern facility. Located near Birmingham, this new partner warehouse is certified by the ISO 14001 standard which aids companies to implement effective management systems to improve environmental performance.
