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.

Our certificates
In July 2026, Mervielde achieved the EcoVadis Platinum label with a score of 88/100. This places us among the top 1% of companies worldwide 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 88/100, 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.
Since June 2026, we have been participating in the 'Stuur je werk' project, with financial support from the European Union.
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.
