Corporate Sustainability
On Friday, December 17, a first vessel with basic bricks for Olivier Bricks was loaded at our main supplier in the Netherlands. By opting for transport via inland shipping, we are taking 50 loads off the road. Also in the future, a large part of our basic bricks will be transported via inland shipping. This will take several million kilometers of freight off the road.
