Après une forte hausse pendant la pandémie de coronavirus, le volume sur le marché suisse des colis a de nouveau légèrement diminué depuis 2021. DPD Suisse a su résister à la tendance et a enregistré un résultat record en 2024. Depuis 2019, le nombre de colis transportés est passé de 18,7 à 24,8 millions, avec une augmentation du chiffre d'affaires de près de 30 %

Plus de B2C et de DPD Pickup parcelshops

Les livraisons business-to-consumer (B2C) ont gagné en importance ces dernières années. Il y a cinq ans, ce secteur d’activité représentait encore 48 % de l’ensemble des livraisons. Aujourd’hui, ce chiffre est de 81 %.

DPD Suisse accompagne cette tendance en développant son réseau de points Pickup. Grâce au partenariat conclu l’année dernière avec le fournisseur de foodvenience Valora, le nombre de DPD Pickup parcelshops a plus que doublé. Aujourd’hui, les clients peuvent retirer, déposer ou renvoyer leurs colis dans plus de 1000 sites out of home facilement accessibles, ce qui répond à un besoin croissant. Selon le baromètre e-shopper de DPD, le besoin de réceptionner les envois en dehors de chez soi de manière flexible ne cesse de croître. 40 % de tous les envois B2C ou C2C sont désormais livrés à des sites out of home. Au cours de l’année 2025, DPD Suisse va mettre en service sa propre plateforme C2X afin d’offrir un nouveau service d’expédition de colis aux particuliers et aux petites entreprises.

Plus de 20 % de la flotte est électrique

L’électrification des véhicules de livraison DPD, lancée en 2021, est sur la bonne voie: aujourd’hui, 200 véhicules roulent à l’électricité, soit 21 % de la flotte totale. Parmi eux, 9 camions électriques sont également utilisés sur les trajets longs et transalpins, tandis que 4 autres ont déjà été commandés et devraient être mis en service cette année. L’objectif est que tous les véhicules de livraison soient zéro émissions d’ici 2030.

Tilmann Schultze, CEO de DPD Suisse :

«DPD Suisse est sur la voie de la croissance dans un marché du colis âprement disputé et en pleine mutation. Les investissements que nous avons placés dans la numérisation, les services out of home, le développement durable et notre personnel sont payants. Nous voulons maintenant nous développer sur le marché C2X en plein essor avec de nouvelles applications intégrées au réseau Geopost, avec plus de 130000 points de retrait en Europe. »

This campaign, coinciding with the company's 25th anniversary celebration, donated nearly €40,000 to various charitable projects. 

Since its launch in 2015, TIPSA has annually distributed the well-known Solidarity Envelopes allocating 4 cents from each envelope to various charitable projects in collaboration with foundations such as Mensajeros de la Paz, DiabetesCero, Fundación Esclerosis Múltiple Madrid, Fundación Prodis, Kumpu, Menudos Corazones, and Confianza Solidaria. 

This year, under the slogan "25 years of TIPSA," the campaign invited the youngest members of the TIPSA Network to participate with their drawings, illustrating the company’s history, achievements, and aspirations over a quarter of a century. 

Marisa Camacho, CEO of TIPSA, highlighted:

"Our Solidarity Envelopes campaign reflects the spirit that has driven us over these 25 years. It has been a wonderful way to celebrate our anniversary by involving new generations in our commitment to society. Solidarity Envelopes is more than a campaign; it is a tradition that unites the entire TIPSA Network in a common effort to make the world a better place."

Solidarity is a fundamental pillar of TIPSA's culture, showcasing its commitment to social welfare and community responsibility. This initiative not only raises funds for charitable organizations but also engages employees, delegations, and their families in actions that promote empathy and support for those most in need. 

For every Solidarity Envelopes delivered, TIPSA and its network of agencies donate four cents to beneficiary NGOs at no additional cost to customers. This year, TIPSA also made a special donation to those affected by the DANA in Valencia. The company purchased essential hygiene and cleaning products which, along with donations from its customers, were sent to Valencia to assist affected families. 

This solidarity-driven approach has enabled TIPSA to significantly contribute to various causes, helping thousands of vulnerable families and strengthening social ties within the communities where it operates. The active participation of the TIPSA Network in these campaigns demonstrates how a simple gesture can create a positive impact, reaffirming TIPSA's commitment to corporate social responsibility on its 25th anniversary.

Regarding donations collected through one million distributed Solidarity Envelopes, these will be allocated among seven charitable projects. KUMPU will use its donation for the comprehensive renovation of a nursery in Kumbilla. Fundación Esclerosis Múltiple Madrid will provide social-health care for people with multiple sclerosis and their families while promoting awareness of the disease to achieve social and labor integration for affected individuals. DiabetesCero will use donations to advance research toward curing type 1 diabetes. Prodis will support scholarships for young people with intellectual disabilities in their summer camps. Mensajeros de la Paz will assist families in severe vulnerability at its Family Center Mensajeros de la Paz El Pozo. Menudos Corazones will improve the quality of life for people with congenital heart disease and their families. Finally, Confianza Solidaria will receive significant food donations to help families in Corredor del Henares.

• The event marking the official start of the works took place today with the presence of Sara Hernández, Mayor of Getafe, and José Mª García Gómez, Deputy Minister of Housing, Transport, and Infrastructure of the Community of Madrid.
• SEUR's new central hub in Getafe will be located on a 100,000-square-meter site refurbished by Goodman to develop the Getafe Terminal Logistics Centre, tailored to SEUR's needs.
• Goodman, aligned with SEUR's sustainability requirements, plans to implement sustainable materials with the goal of reducing carbon emissions from new construction by up to 30%.
• The development and operation of the Getafe Terminal Logistics Centre will generate a total of 600 direct jobs and up to 1,000 indirect jobs, revitalizing the area's economic activity.

Goodman and SEUR today laid the first pillar of the infrastructure they will build in Getafe, which will be operational in the third quarter of 2026. Participating in the event were Sara Hernández, Mayor of Getafe; José María García Gómez, Deputy Minister of Housing, Transport, and Infrastructure of the Community of Madrid; as well as Ignacio García, Country Manager of Goodman Spain; and David Sastre, CEO of SEUR.

Thanks to this alliance, Getafe Terminal Logistics Centre is created, a key logistics infrastructure that will become SEUR's central hub in Spain. The asset is strategically located near the center of Madrid, well connected to the main access routes to the capital, and next to the Getafe Industrial train station. The facility, one of the largest of its kind in Europe, fully digitalized and equipped with the latest cutting-edge technology, will become the most important logistics center in Spain.

The logistics project will contribute to providing Getafe with essential infrastructure for urban distribution and will revitalize the area's economic activity. In this regard, the development and operation of the Getafe Terminal Logistics Centre is estimated to generate a total of 600 direct jobs and up to 1,000 indirect jobs.

The development, which will have 100,000 square meters, will become a two-story, multi-purpose production facility, where three SEUR business units will be grouped: one of them dedicated to last-mile distribution, with capacity for 300 delivery vehicles, an area enabled for national and international cross-docking activity with trailers and duo-trailers, and a final one for the classification and distribution of refrigerated food products.

Designed as a state-of-the-art building, it will be adapted to current needs, with an initial capacity to handle between 300,000 and 450,000 packages per day, while also being able to respond flexibly to future market trends.

The logistics center's ideal location, 13 kilometers from the center of Madrid, will allow SEUR, the leading express transport company in Spain, to effectively respond to growing market demand. Thanks to its strategic location, SEUR will be able to optimize its operations in central Spain, from where it will consolidate its current global growth.

Ignacio García Cuenca, Country Manager of Goodman Spain, highlighted

“Getafe Terminal Logistics Centre is a key project for Goodman, as it exemplifies our strategy of responding to the needs of our clients, who are looking for strategic locations and versatile assets to achieve greater agility and flexibility in their operations.” He added: “The close collaboration with the local authorities and SEUR will allow us to develop a comprehensive solution, both in terms of urban planning and construction, to stimulate the local economy of Getafe.”

David Sastre Segovia, CEO of SEUR, pointed out that

"This investment is a further step and the central axis of our investment plan, and it provides continuity to the recent infrastructures that are already operating throughout Spain. Furthermore, it demonstrates our clear commitment; on the one hand, to our clients, supporting their growth and responding to their logistical challenges, and on the other hand, to society, through the creation of employment in the area and establishing sustainability as a critical element in the new facility."

Goodman and SEUR join forces to reduce carbon emissions during the construction process and operational emissions throughout the asset's lifecycle.

SEUR has the clear objective of achieving net-zero emissions by 2040. In fact, Geopost, the Group to which SEUR belongs, is the only one in the sector to have been recognized by the SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) which endorses this ambitious goal. Thus, the Getafe infrastructure had to be conceived and aligned to meet this challenge.

In this regard, Goodman will work intensively during the construction process of the Getafe Terminal Logistics Centre, together with the entire supply chain, to reduce CO2 emissions by 30%, and, thanks to the installation of 4MW of photovoltaic solar energy, it will mitigate operational emissions throughout the asset's lifespan.

The project will also receive the BREEAM Excellent certification, which endorses the sustainable construction of the facility, and will also have the VALORIZA certification, which certifies the management of waste produced during construction with the aim of recovering 100% of it.

Biocair, a leading specialist in life sciences logistics, is proud to announce that it has achieved an Advanced sustainability rating in the 2025 EcoVadis Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) assessment, earning a Silver Medal with an overall score of 69/100 — placing it in the top 13% of all companies assessed globally in its sector.

This achievement marks a further improvement on the company’s last assessment, reflecting Biocair’s ongoing commitment to integrating Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices across its global operations.

Key Improvements:

• Environmental performance rose to 73/100, recognizing strong policies on air pollution, energy consumption and greenhouse gases, materials, waste management and membership in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

• Comprehensive labor and human rights policies strengthened, including new programs on employee wellbeing, diversity & inclusion and anti-discrimination mechanisms.

• Ethics score increased to 74/100, driven by enhanced policies on anti-corruption, information security and fraud prevention, as well as mandatory ethics training across the business.

• Establishment of a Corrective Action Plan, outlining clear steps to address improvement areas such as sustainable procurement, detailed environmental reporting and supplier engagement.

While Biocair’s performance is rated as Advanced, the assessment identified opportunities to drive further improvement, which will form the basis of future actions:

• Enhancing supplier sustainability programs to improve the Sustainable Procurement score.

• Strengthening quantitative reporting on environmental and human rights KPIs (e.g., ISO 14001/45001 certifications, GHG emissions data).

• Continuing to develop partnerships and innovations that decarbonize logistics operations and reduce environmental impact.

"We are incredibly proud to see Biocair recognized with an Advanced rating by EcoVadis. This reflects the dedication of our global team to sustainability and ethical business practices.

We know that sustainability is a journey, and we remain committed to continuous improvement — collaborating with our customers, suppliers, and employees to deliver a more sustainable future for life sciences logistics."

— Vincent Howard, Chief Executive Officer, Biocair

"Achieving an Advanced rating demonstrates that sustainability is embedded at the heart of Biocair’s culture. From our carbon reduction initiatives to our focus on ethical compliance and human rights, this recognition affirms that our efforts are making a real impact. Looking ahead, we are committed to closing identified gaps, particularly in sustainable procurement and data transparency, to ensure we continue to meet and exceed global standards."

— Stephen Cawley, Chief Compliance Officer, Biocair
