Advertising sponsorship: giving visibility to the French Red Cross on the parcel tracking page

Through its real-time parcel tracking app, Track & Engage, GLS is providing advertising space to the French Red Cross.
Throughout the festive season, a banner is displayed on the tracking page and generates high-quality traffic. In fact, this ad format achieves an impressive click-through rate (CTR) of 10 to 30%.

This initiative offers maximum visibility to the French Red Cross’s solidarity appeals—at a time when the spirit of giving is at its peak!

Christmas Gift Box Operation
From December 3 to 19, GLS is mobilizing its employees to create "Christmas Boxes". Each box contains:

  • something warm (a warm piece of clothing),
  • a comforting item (non-perishable food),
  • a hygiene product,
  • a book,
  • and a handwritten note.

These boxes will be distributed to local French Red Cross branches for their Christmas outreach programs.

Donation of packages to the Trévoux local unit

For the past three years, our expertise center in Genay has been mobilizing during the holiday season, donating unidentified packages made up of clothing and essential goods. On Thursday, December 18, it made an exceptional donation of packages. This year, two trucks were needed to collect the donations, which amounted to a total value of €20,000.

Volunteers pose in front of a French Red Cross van, surrounded by boxes of clothing, parcels, and stuffed animals collected for a solidarity action.

Volunteers and staff unload boxes from a van inside a warehouse, as part of a logistical solidarity operation.
