Eco Performance Award 2017: And the winners are …
Distribution companies with especially sustainable business practice were distinguished with the Eco Performance Award during the celebratory award ceremony on 8 May in Munich, Germany.

BODAN GmbH was the successful company in the small and mid-sized companies, with InstaFreight GmbH winning among the start-ups.
