GEODIS: Trade Volatility Reshapes Logistics

[ June 12, 2026   //   ]

GEODIS reported revenue of €10.6 billion in 2025 while advancing sustainability, artificial intelligence and supply chain transformation initiatives amid a challenging global trade environment, according to its 2025 Activity and Sustainability Report.

The logistics provider, which employs nearly 48,000 people and operates 975 sites serving 166 countries, said geopolitical tensions, shifting trade patterns and slowing economic growth continued to reshape global supply chains during the year.

CEO Marie-Christine Lombard said GEODIS maintained profitability while continuing to execute its Ambition 2027 strategy, which positions sustainability and operational excellence as growth drivers. Customer satisfaction reached 92 percent, while the company’s Net Promoter Score improved to +39 from +36 in 2024.

On sustainability, GEODIS reported it is 21 percent of the way toward its target of reducing Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42 percent by 2030, compared with a 2022 baseline. The company also earned a place on CDP’s Climate A-List, placing it among the top-rated companies for climate performance and transparency.

The company highlighted several low-carbon logistics initiatives, including expansion of low-emission urban delivery services in France, renewable diesel trucking operations in Southeast Asia and a new partnership with EDF focused on warehouse energy efficiency, renewable energy generation and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

Artificial intelligence also emerged as a major strategic focus. GEODIS reported a 79 percent employee adoption rate for AI tools and said machine learning applications are being used to optimize warehouse operations, improve sales targeting, automate documentation processes and support supply chain planning. In some warehouse applications, travel distances were reduced by 25 percent to 50 percent while productivity improved by more than 10 percent.

The report identifies regionalization, digital transformation and climate adaptation as defining trends for the logistics sector. GEODIS said customers are increasingly evaluating nearshoring, reshoring and friend-shoring strategies as geopolitical uncertainty and trade policy changes alter global sourcing patterns.

GEODIS is a wholly owned subsidiary of SNCF Group and serves more than 86,000 active customers worldwide through its freight forwarding, contract logistics, road transport and distribution businesses.
