FORS Silver certification - sustainability, safety and quality in logistics
What does FORS Silver mean for our customers?
The FORS Silver certification is a recognized quality mark in international road freight transport – especially with regard to transports to Great Britain. As a certified company, DENKINGER Logistik fulfills all requirements in the areas of road safety, environmental awareness and efficient fleet management at an above-average level.
This not only ensures smooth transportation to regulated UK zones for our customers, but also offers real added value:
Access to demanding construction projects and delivery zones (e.g. London Direct Vision Standard)
Proof of sustainability and responsibility along the supply chain
Compliance with international requirements and ESG criteria
FORS: An overview
FORS (Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme) is an independent accreditation scheme originally developed in the UK. It promotes and verifies operational best practice in the following key areas:
Vehicle and driver safety
Environmental friendliness and emission control
Operational efficiency and compliance
Transparency and continuous improvement
The certification levels range from bronze (basic requirements) to silver and gold (top standard). DENKINGER is currently certified at Silver level – an important proof of quality that is already a prerequisite for cooperation in many industries (construction, energy, infrastructure).

FAQ on FORS certification
What distinguishes FORS Silver from bronze?
FORS Silver goes well beyond the basic criteria. It requires the use of modern safety technology, advanced environmental management and documented driver training.
Is the certification also valid outside the UK?
Yes. FORS is also increasingly recognized in EU countries – especially by international companies with a sustainability strategy.
How long is the certification valid for?
FORS certification must be renewed annually. Our processes are designed to comply with the standards on a permanent basis – with a view to possible gold certification.
