Supply Chain for aid and relief organisations

Delivering solutions in challenging environments.

The Background

In addition to helping customers do well, our passion to do good has led us to work closely and successfully with NGOs, donors, suppliers, and aid & relief organisationswithin the UN.

The Challenge

Aid and relief organisations face very difficult and often unpredictable challenges, especially in the case of natural disasters. They are increasingly looking for the support of a global network of logistics experts who can understand their challenges and offer a full range of supply chain services that meet their special needs.

The Solution

Integrated services

In addition to ocean, air, and inland freight services, we offer a range of solutions like stevedoring, customs clearance, warehousing and distribution, and end-to-end visibility. These solutions are available around the globe, making aid accessible from anywhere in the world.

Global reach, local expertise

With a presence in 315 locations and more than 90 countries, we offer our customers widespread reach. Our offices around the world have experts who speak the local language and understand local communities. We also have proven operational capabilities in many of the world’s most challenging environments.

A tried and tested network

As a leading operator in growth markets such as Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America, our network is well-established and enables customers to service remote places even if they lack the necessary infrastructure.

The Result

Our ability to find innovative solutions in challenging circumstances has made us a trusted partner of the UN. We are aligned with their interpretation of sustainability in business and have been a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact since 2009.

We are also a member of the Logistics Emergency Team (LET), which supports the UN Logistics Cluster.
