Wojciech Szafran Managing Director Raben Logistics Polska sp. z o.o.

What are your expectations for this year’s performance for your company and the logistics sector in general in Poland? How will this be influenced by expectation for the general economic environment?

After a slowdown in 2023, economic growth is expected to gradually rebound this year, supported by strong consumption and investment. This, of course, should have a positive impact on the condition of the TSL industry. On the other hand, although inflation is also forecast to decline, price pressure will

remain elevated in the context of growing domestic demand and rising labour costs and the gradual unfreezing of energy prices. And rising costs pose a challenge to every company and industry.

The rising costs of energy and oper ation of warehouses and industrial buildings pose an increasing challenge for many companies, especially those in the logistics and production industries. What solutions to reduce these costs are you already using, and what solu tions are you considering implementing in the future?

Raben Group is taking a number of actions aimed at saving energy and reducing costs to deal with rising operating costs. Already at the stage of designing warehouses, we think about energy efficiency. The solutions currently used by Raben include, among others, the use of energy from renewable sources, the use of energy saving LED lighting, more efficient heating,

ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and the implementation of intelligent sensors and automated lighting, heating and cooling systems, which allows for better control and optimisation of energy consumption.
