Geert De Jaeger, CEO of Dematra, emphasized the unexpected competitive advantage this certification brings: "This certification gives us an edge when talking to multinational food companies. Our logistics services are now better aligned with their sustainability strategy."
The certification is mainly due to its innovative design and high level of automation. "We reduced the footprint for storing and handling 80,000 pallets by a factor of 6 because the building is 46 meters high with 15 floors inside. Thanks to automated shuttles, we can move up to 12,000 pallets per day," adds Geert.
"This certification gives us an edge when talking to multinational food companies. Our logistics services are now better aligned with their sustainability strategy."

In today's highly sustainable world, BREEAM has become the world's leading method for assessing the sustainability of projects, including those in the logistics sector. There is a growing awareness in the industry that since logistics buildings are often built on large greenfield sites, it is crucial to minimize environmental impact and create positive outcomes.
Dematra's high score reflects its potential to transform logistics buildings into energy-efficient powerhouses, paving the way for a greener future.
