At GLS, we believe that clear frameworks create a stronger industry.
We’ve never been afraid to get involved, and we take an active role in shaping the foundation for the green transition in Denmark.
That’s why we engage locally, regionally, and nationally – participating in consultations, tenders, and the development of legislation. We’re involved in regulatory matters such as the Danish Postal Act and the rules for registered postal operators. Within freight transport, we contribute to discussions on rules like the “11-kilo exemption” and licensing requirements for hauliers.
For us, transparency and trust are essential in the distribution sector.
We participate actively in building the foundation for a greener future – through national partnerships and regulatory involvement. We contribute to legislative work and participate in government climate partnerships for land transport, as well as organisations such as Dansk Erhverv, Region H, the EIB’s Green Mile, Klimaalliancen Aarhus, and the City of Copenhagen’s DISCO initiative.
We engage at every level – local, regional and national – to help remove barriers to the green transition in Denmark
