CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
As a global logistics business, we are dedicated to leveraging our assets, networking capabilities and partnerships to achieve our environmental, social and governance responsibilities.
EMBEDDED IN CULTURE
SEKO knows that to make material and lasting change, sustainability must be embedded in the culture of who we are as a business. Anyone in our business is capable of recognising opportunities for improvement and initiating change, no matter how small.
SEKO is a business of people and our people are aligned and passionate about the importance of environment, social impact and the governance underlying it all.
SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability starts with taking ownership - not just of our own environmental footprint, but also for helping our clients embrace a greener approach to their supply chains.
We are committed to helping our clients ‘go green’ - with many already proving to be leaders in the field of environmental sustainability and eco-friendly supply chain management. As an organisation, it's our responsibility to provide services which, directly or indirectly, encourage businesses to adopt an Environmental Sustainability Program - and in doing so, become the best version of themselves which they can possibly be.
