SAFETY AND SUSTAINABILITY
SAFETY AND SUSTAINABILITY A SECURE FOUNDATION FOR HIGH-QUALITY SERVICE The quality and reliability of TALKE s logistics services are built on highest standards, a steadfast commitment to safety and practiced corporate responsibility. We believe in a holistic approach with the desire to guarantee safety for the products entrusted to us by our customers, as well as for people and the environment; we also believe in handling the resources we use with great care. WORKING SAFELY Safety in transport and logistics is not simply a technical issue, but a question of attitude. That s why TALKE successfully promotes safety-conscious thinking and behaviour among its employees, according to the principles of Behaviour Based Safety (BBS). As a foundation for these principles we make sure our operative structures, processes and malfunction protocols are regulated and frequently monitored. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Professional environmental protection is part of the magic triangle of economic, environmental and social sustainability. We continually strive to minimise the environmental impact of our operations with efficient use of resources and by continually working with external partners, initiatives and associations to identify other areas of improvement. TECHNICAL SAFETY Another pillar of TALKE s safety philosophy is that of impeccable equipment, sites and plants. Our tractor units are equipped with state-of-the-art electronic safety and assistance systems. Our logistics facilities also provide optimal safety and protection. Just like our transport equipment, the facilities undergo regular internal and external safety inspections. SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY We also work on our social responsibility and have created our own charitable foundation to channel our efforts in this regard. With the LIGHT (Live In Greater Hope for Tomorrow) foundation, we aim to support deprived children and youth. We also encourage fitness by offering our employees corporate health management. People and technology: the key pillars of TALKE s safety culture. Safety must be taught, practiced and lived. Behaviour Based Safety turns safety consciousness into daily consciousness.

CUTTING EDGE IT
CUTTING EDGE IT INTEGRATED AND INNOVATIVE Daily operations in the chemical supply chain are increasingly determined by growing complexity and acceleration. When it comes to all the process steps involved, the key to affordable control and transparency is reliable, efficient and seamlessly integrated IT on the part of the manufacturer and the logistics service provider. We use numerous SAP modules for our business processes, and have been relying on this business software for a long time now. Chemical logistics 4.0, that s our vision. Thanks to a combination of international chemical logistics expertise and excellent SAP know-how, were are also able to offer IT services that become organically integrated into our customers' structures and processes, and furthermore, can offer innovative solutions to future challenges right here and now. FRANK FUSS, Head of IT for TALKE TALKE SUPPLY CHAIN INTEGRATION SUITE In order to design modules and implement them into our IT, we started adding in-house SAP specialists to complement our external system vendors a long time ago. Thanks to long-term and intensive exchanges with our logistics specialists, they now have an especially broad understanding of the specific framework conditions and concepts involved in chemical logistics. On the one hand, this allowed us to systematically, quickly and efficiently establish customer-specific features and interfaces with in-house logistics IT specialists. On the other hand, thanks to this interdisciplinary expertise, we were able to create an SAP-based platform that sets new benchmarks in accordance with current standards: the TALKE Supply Chain Integration Suite, which offers modules such as Transport Management SAP TM, Extended Warehouse Management SAP EWM and Yard Logistics SAP YL when appropriate. DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP WITH SAP TALKE is an innovations partner of SAP s and helps further develop the software modules for Transport Management SAP TM and Yard Logistics SAP YL. There are valuable advantages to being part of such an innovations partnership: SAP is able to draw on our firsthand experience in an industry and branch know-how in order to custom design the appropriate software. TALKE is a logistics expert and therefore brings knowledge and expertise to the software in question, and is able to appropriately design a much needed IT foundation to meet the challenges of the chemical logistics industry. The advantage for customers in the chemical industry who also work with SAP to a large extent: TALKE shows IT system consistency and proves itself to be compatible, efficient and reliable throughout the value chain.
