Overview

DB SCHENKER is one of the world’s leading global logistics providers, supporting industry and trade in the global exchange of goods through land transport, worldwide air and ocean freight, contract logistics and supply chain management.

In its 150th anniversary year, DB SCHENKER wanted to push its company challenge to a new dimension and lead the way for a greater good. They came up with an employee engagement campaign – “150 Years Elevating Lives” – to connect employees worldwide and accumulate kilometers through various mental and physical activities. This campaign raised money for four carefully selected charitable organizations related to the company’s commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals – one of which was WeForest.
