In September 2021, the Board of Directors of PJSC TransContainer approved the company’s mid-term (through 2025) and long-term (through 2030) development strategy. The Company’s Strategy until 2030 is targeted at the 45–50% share of the market of income-generating railway container transportation, doubled EBITDA, 80% business digitalization rate, and EBITDA of up to 25% from integrated freight forwarding and logistic services.

As part of the Strategy, TransContainer sets a strategic goal to assist Delo Group in strengthening its status of a national champion in container logistics in the Eurasian space. TransContainer’s other strategic goal is its leadership in railway container logistics in integration with the shareholder’s assets.

 

DIGITALIZATION

The accomplishment of TransContainer’s strategic goals is not possible without the introduction of innovative digital solutions into its key business processes.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

TransContainer fully admits its responsibility to today’s society and future generations. The company’s principal strategic goals include minimizing its adverse environmental impact by reducing carbon footprint and the emissions of air pollutants, as well as sustainable use of natural resources and efficient waste management.

The company’s business is associated with railway transportation, which has one of the lowest environmental impacts as compared with other modes of transport due to high electrification of railway networks within the Russian Federation.

More than 80% of terminals use zero-emission electric gantry cranes in their container handling operations, which reduces considerably adverse impact on the atmosphere as compared with the use of reach stackers powered by fossil fuels. 

TransContainer first made an inventory of its emission sources and measured its greenhouse gas emissions in line with Scope 1 and Scope 2 guidance in 2021 as part of its business decarbonization process. In late 2021, the company proceeded to developing a greenhouse gas emission calculation methodology in line with Scope 3 guidance.

 

SOCIAL ROLE

TransContainer views charity as an element of its social responsibility. The company focuses on charitable activity in all regions where it operates.

The key goals of TransContainer in its charitable activity are to improve the living standards of society and support socially disadvantaged groups.

The company prioritizes the following charitable activities:

  • assistance to children;
  • support for sports and promotion of healthy lifestyle;
  • preservation of Russia’s cultural heritage;
  • assistance to employees and their family members;
  • assistance to those affected by emergencies.
Apart from logistic service arrangements, in its social policy TransContainer has a strong focus on developing sports. Since 2020, the company has sponsored CSKA men’s and women’s handball clubs.

Our sponsorship contributes to the development and promotion of handball, sports, and healthy lifestyle in general in Russia.
