OUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
As a global logistics business, we are dedicated to leveraging our assets, network and partnerships to help achieve our Environmental, Social and Governance responsibilities - uniting communities for a greener future.
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 VICE PRESIDENT, SUSTAINABILITY
As we present SEKO Logistics’ Annual ESG Report, we're extremely proud of our collective journey towards a more sustainable and resilient future. Our commitment to continuous improvement in the ESG space remains steadfast, despite the challenging global economy and the incidents and turmoil that create instability.
Looking towards the future, our path remains clear. We are dedicated to ongoing progress, setting ambitious, yet achievable, sustainability goals. Our vision for a sustainable future will continue to intertwine with every aspect of our operations and our business culture. Without sustainability truly underpinning the culture within SEKO, making rapid and material effective change will be impossible to achieve.
