GLS Canada Honored with Environmental Sustainability Award
The Canadian Institute of Traffic and Transportation (CITT) has presented GLS Canada with the 2026 Environmental Sustainability Award for Large Enterprise. The award acknowledges the company's comprehensive approach to embedding environmental measures into its logistics operations, including fleet transformation, infrastructure investments, and collaboration with delivery partners.
Recognition of Sustainability Efforts
Mélanie Camara, Director of Environment and Sustainability at GLS Canada, said: "This recognition reflects the consistent effort across our operations to integrate environmental considerations into everyday decision-making. From how we plan our fleet and infrastructure to how we collaborate with our delivery partners; we are focused on implementing solutions that are operationally viable and support long-term emissions reduction. While this is an ongoing journey, awards like this help acknowledge the tangible steps already taken and reinforce our commitment to continued progress."
Fleet Electrification and Infrastructure
As of December 2025, GLS Canada's transport fleet includes six electric trucks, 32 electric vans, and four electric yard tractors. Additionally, four CNG trucks powered with 50% renewable natural gas (RNG) complement long-haul routes. More than 60 charging stations are installed across Canada, including a decommissioned 53-foot trailer converted into a mobile charging unit with six charging ports, enabling rapid deployment of electric vehicles at any location.
Net-Zero Roadmap and SBTi Alignment
GLS Canada's sustainability approach is guided by a long-term roadmap to achieve net-zero by 2045, in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company has introduced measures to support emissions reductions, including electric vehicle deployment, investments in charging infrastructure at depots, and initiatives to support independent delivery partners in transitioning to electric and lower-emission vehicles.
