For people of today and tomorrow

People of different ethnic origin, culture, religion or belief work at and for GLS. Appreciation, respect and understanding in interacting with employees and partners are important principles of the Group.
An intensive exchange with all transport partners, who serve the last mile for GLS in the collection and delivery of parcels, is an integral part of the cooperation.

Staff development is a fundamental aspect of the GLS strategy as the Group seeks to ensure long-term success for the company and its employees.
Furthermore, it is very important for the management and staff to support people in need of help. GLS companies throughout Europe promote selected initiatives within their social environment – by direct sponsorships as well as by providing free transportation services.

Training and professional development

GLS supports the development of young employees with a sound and practically relevant training programme. The GLS Group provides its employees with individual training and leadership opportunities.
In Germany, for example, GLS trains CEP professionals, IT professionals, office communication professionals and IT system integration experts. A dual study course in logistics management and business informatics is offered in conjunction with universities of applied science. The professional development portfolio is rounded off with an in-house business management programme.

Social activities

GLS uses its country-specific structures to support selected initiatives in each nation. GLS national subsidiaries support numerous charitable projects by organising both regional and nationwide initiatives.
These include free parcel shipping for aid organisations and the sponsorship of foundations for people with developmental or physical disabilities. At a local level, the depots provide financial support to many nursery schools, hospitals, hospices and other charitable institutions. Further activities can be found on the websites of the GLS subsidiaries as well in the Group’s Corporate Responsibility Report.

Culture and sports sponsoring

As a part of modern society, GLS gets involved in sport and cultural projects. In some cases these sponsorships are combined with a social commitment. GLS Belgium, for examples, sponsors the Belgian national football team, and staff, partners and people with disabilities are invited to each home game of the team.

GLS Slovenia Becomes an Official Sponsor of KK Cedevita Olimpija

At GLS Slovenia, we believe that successful stories connect people, communities, and values. Therefore, we are proud to announce that we have become a sponsor of KK Cedevita Olimpija – a club with a rich tradition, incredible energy, and strong fan support.

The partnership between GLS Slovenia and KK Cedevita Olimpija represents more than just cooperation between two recognizable brands. We are connected by a shared mindset: dedication, reliability, team spirit, and the desire for continuous progress. Both on the court and in parcel delivery, we believe that success is built on strong organization, trust, and collaboration.

By supporting one of Slovenia’s largest sports clubs, we aim to contribute to the development of Slovenian sports and promote the values that sport brings to society – perseverance, motivation, respect, and teamwork. Basketball holds a special place in Slovenia, and KK Cedevita Olimpija, with its tradition and ambitions, represents an important part of the region’s sporting identity.

The partnership will also include various joint activities, projects, and content through which we will bring both the world of basketball and the everyday work of logistics closer to fans, customers, and the wider public. We are looking forward to the collaboration, shared stories, and new opportunities to connect with the local community.

At GLS Slovenia, we are proud to become part of the green family of KK Cedevita Olimpija.
