GEODIS expands specialized logistics capabilities in Poland
GEODIS has obtained an Internal Compliance Programmes (ICP) certification in Poland, expanding its capabilities to provide specialized transport and logistics services for the defence sector and other industries handling strategically important goods.
The certification covers the company’s internal compliance arrangements for activities involving goods, technologies and services subject to specific national and European Union regulations, including dual-use products.
According to GEODIS, the certification enables its Polish operations to serve customers requiring additional security, regulatory oversight and controlled logistics procedures.
Certification supports transport of strategic goods
The certification was issued by CCJ, an accredited certification body operating within the structures of Poland’s Military University of Technology.
It confirms that GEODIS has established internal compliance procedures for handling activities involving strategically important goods and products subject to trade controls.
These include dual-use goods, which are regulated under applicable national and EU legislation according to their classification.
The certification broadens the range of specialized logistics services GEODIS can offer in Poland, particularly to companies operating in sectors where security, confidentiality and regulatory compliance are essential requirements.
“This is another step in the development of specialist services of GEODIS in Poland,” said Marc Vollet, Executive Vice President of European Road Network at GEODIS.
Vollet said the company had developed the procedures and capabilities required to handle demanding logistics assignments while maintaining confidentiality and regulatory compliance.
Internal controls and ongoing supervision
Obtaining the certification required GEODIS to review and adapt its internal procedures, conduct audits, provide employee training and establish responsibilities within its internal control system.
The certification process also involved defining functions related to regulatory compliance and the supervision of activities involving controlled goods.
According to the company, the Internal Compliance Programmes framework remains subject to ongoing supervision, periodic reviews and assessments.
The certification forms part of GEODIS’ broader approach to security and regulatory compliance across its logistics operations.
For its Polish business, the development expands its ability to provide services to customers requiring documented internal controls, information security and oversight of transport processes involving strategically important goods.
