That's how we flow!
At Mervielde, we have encapsulated our values in the FLOW. This acronym intrinsically encapsulates our logistics and transport activities, but also expresses the dynamics within our organization, between our departments, and between colleagues.
Focus on people
Each other’s well-being is our most important destination. Each employee should be able to be 100% themselves. We help each other and offer colleagues a mental lift when they need it. The extra mile should not come at the expense of our smile.
Loaded with curiosity
We are do-ers who think with an open mind. We know very well what we want and where we want to go. With a healthy load of curiosity, we move together from A to Better.
Outstanding
We are always willing to go the extra mile for our customers. We speed up, but we don’t fly off the rails. Because we work responsibly on and off the road. Our commitment to quality, safety, and sustainability makes us a reliable logistic partner.
With care
We take care of our people, environment and equipment. No litter or dirty trucks. The only thing we leave behind is a good impression. We treat each other with respect and understanding. Everyone is equal at Mervielde.
Our certificates
In August 2025, Mervielde achieved the EcoVadis Gold label with a score of 78/100. This officially places us among the top 5% of companies in our sector in terms of sustainability.
This recognition is a significant milestone for our family business. It confirms that our efforts in the areas of climate, safety, people, social responsibility, and transparency are internationally recognized.
EcoVadis is the world's largest and most renowned platform for sustainability assessments. The system evaluates companies in four areas: environment, labour & human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. The assessment is based on policy, actions, and concrete results, and is consistently benchmarked against international standards.
With our score of 78/100, we received clear confirmation that Mervielde is currently among the leaders in sustainable entrepreneurship within the transport and logistics sector.
We have participated in the Flemish Charter for Sustainable Entrepreneurship since 2003.
In addition to all legal requirements, we are also continuously committed to protecting and improving our employees, the environment, and the living environment. Each year, we develop an action plan that helps us evolve towards greater environmental friendliness. We specifically select Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to which we will devote particular attention that year. This commitment was rewarded in 2020 with our designation as an SDG Pioneer.
Quality is in the smallest details – in every step of the planning process, in every cleaning process, in every load. Our ISO 9001 certification demonstrates our structured approach, customer-focused thinking and continuous improvement. We also set high standards for food products, as evidenced by our ISO 22000 and FCA certifications. We also hold Kosher and Halal certifications, as well as the EFTCO Food and SQAS attestations. Mervielde is also ISO 14001 certified.
Compliance with applicable environmental regulations is a given, while we actively strive to reduce our ecological footprint and manage resources efficiently. Everything – from planning to cleaning – is under control, traceable and safe.
Our strategy
At Mervielde, sustainability has been central to our way of doing business for decades. It is in the choices we make, the way we work, and the relationships we build with our customers, employees, and partners.
To sharpen this strategy, we launched a comprehensive risk assessment.
We identified the potential challenges and vulnerabilities for our organization. Intensive brainstorming resulted in a vision widely supported by the organization.
This vision was translated into five pillars that summarize what Mervielde stands for and how we intend to use our impact positively:
- comprehensive logistics solution
- safety first
- climate action
- helping people grow
- social responsibility
Our strategy is therefore not a break with the past, but a formalization of what has long defined our DNA. We have clearly defined our direction, our priorities, and how we will measure and report our progress. This way, as a family business, we can continue to build a sustainable and resilient future with greater focus and transparency.
