For the people of today and tomorrow

People of different ethnic backgrounds, cultures, religions and world views all work for, and at GLS. Appreciation, respect and understanding in dealings with employees and partners represent one of the key principles of the GLS Group.
Another key component in terms of collaboration is intensive communication with the transport partners who handle parcel collection and delivery on behalf of GLS.
The GLS Group regards staff development as a key pillar in terms of safeguarding the sustainable success of the company and its employees.
Furthermore, the management and workforce are committed to helping people in need. GLS subsidiaries across Europe and North America support selected initiatives in their societies.

Training and professional development

GLS supports the development of young employees with a sound and practically relevant training programme. The GLS Group provides its employees with individual training and leadership opportunities.
In Germany, for example, GLS trains CEP professionals, IT professionals, office communication professionals and IT system integration experts. A dual study course in logistics management and business informatics is offered in conjunction with universities of applied science. The professional development portfolio is rounded off with an in-house business management programme.

Social activities

GLS uses its country-specific structures to support selected initiatives in each nation. GLS national subsidiaries support numerous charitable projects by organising both regional and nationwide initiatives.
These include free parcel shipping for aid organisations and the sponsorship of foundations for people with developmental or physical disabilities. At a local level, the depots provide financial support to many nursery schools, hospitals, hospices and other charitable institutions. Further activities can be found on the websites of the GLS subsidiaries as well in the Group’s Corporate Responsibility Report.
