CEO Lawrence Leuschner made this pledge today to at his opening speech of the Slush event 'Future of Transportation' in Helsinki.
In the company's commitment to sustainability, TIER has adopted the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as its sustainability framework and has set up an ambitious agenda for reducing emissions. Amongst other measures, TIER will further improve its already industry-leading maintenance efforts and introduce the swappable operations model across all markets.
