SEKO CARES: DRIVING SUSTAINABLE LOGISTICS SOLUTIONS FOR A BETTER TOMORROW
At SEKO, we're committed to providing environmentally conscious, client-first solutions. Our reliable, tech-driven shipping services are designed to not only streamline supply chains but also reduce environmental impact.
In 2020, amid global challenges, we launched the SEKO Cares initiative with a vision to unite our global communities together in making a positive impact on the planet. By prioritizing sustainability in all that we do, we aim to support our clients, empower our people, and protect the environment for future generations.
A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Since the launch of SEKO Cares in 2020, our team has made significant strides in its efforts towards becoming a leader in the Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) space. Plans have turned into real action, which will be realized through numerous substantial deliverables by the end of 2023.
I am very optimistic about all that we can do as a company in this space. Our continued growth and success as professionals and as an organization are made stronger with our commitment to ESG.
Taking care of our people and the communities in which we live, work, and operate is not only beneficial to our bottom line, it is the right thing to do.
James Gagne
