Principles, policies and other regulations

We act based on benchmarks.

Aware of the responsibility of being agents in a sector that, through the conveyance of goods, is responsible for a considerable carbon footprint, CTT looks at Sustainability as a central theme of its development strategy - Faster, Better, Greener. Moving in that direction, CTT has committed to achieve the net-zero goal by 2030.

We use sustainable development principles in our strategy and corporate practices. The challenges are very demanding in a continuously developing market. These are the acting principles that inspire us.

Economic value

  • We create permanent and sustainable value to shareholders.
  • Our management systems’ continuous certification reflects our commitment towards our customers, the environment and quality of service. 
  • We promote economic growth and reinforce our proximity within the community and society on a daily basis.

Innovation and development

  • Innovation and creativity drive our daily solutions.
  • We try to be pioneers and adopt market leader technologies, to ensure sustainable processes with positive impact to all.

Ethics, governance and integrity

  • We have listening, communication and dialog channels always open, trying to meet everybody’s expectations.

  • The supply of carbon-neutral products and services, as well as products incorporating reused or recycled materials, continues to expand.

Social Impact

  • We have practices to reconcile professional, family and personal life.
