SEKO Logistics UK Achieves Living Wage Employer Accreditation
Setting the Standard in Ethical Employment in the transport and logistics industry
SEKO Logistics UK is proud to announce its official accreditation as a Living Wage Employer, reaffirming its commitment to fair pay, ethical business practices, and responsible corporate citizenship.
This accreditation recognises SEKO Logistics as a business that pays all employees a wage that meets the real cost of living, not just the UK government minimum. By voluntarily adopting the Living Wage, SEKO joins a growing movement of responsible employers who believe that a hard day's work deserves a fair day's pay.
What does it mean to be a Living Wage Employer?
The Living Wage, calculated annually by the Living Wage Foundation, is the only UK wage rate based on the cost of living. Unlike the National Minimum Wage or the National Living Wage, the Living Wage is independently calculated to reflect the real costs of housing, food, transport, and essential bills.
By becoming a certified Living Wage Employer, SEKO Logistics UK ensures that every directly employed member of staff, as well as third-party contracted workers, receives a wage that supports a decent standard of living.
Leading by Example Across the Logistics Industry
“At SEKO, our people are the foundation of our success. Becoming a Living Wage Employer was not just the right thing to do — it’s central to how we define employment in the logistics industry,” said Paul Lockwood, Managing Director at SEKO Logistics UK. “This accreditation is a commitment to our teams, our partners, and our clients that we stand for fairness and integrity in our employment practices.”
SEKO’s decision to champion the Living Wage certification reflects its broader vision for ethical and sustainable business practices across the supply chain including its recent EcoVadis gold certification placing SEKO Logistics UK in the top 5% of companies globally and top 1% of logistics businesses.
As a company that works with an extensive network of operators and service providers, SEKO UK is taking a clear stance: all companies engaging with the company are expected to reflect the same ethical employment standards, also clearly outlined in SEKO's Supplier Code of Conduct.
Raising the Bar for Supply Chain Ethics
By implementing Living Wage standards across its operations including temporary workers, SEKO Logistics UK is helping to set a benchmark in the industry. The company has also engaged in active dialogue with suppliers, subcontractors, and partners to ensure alignment with Living Wage principles and broader ethical employment measures.
A Call to Action
SEKO Logistics UK is inviting its peers, clients, and partners to join the Living Wage movement and help drive systemic change within the logistics and transport sector.
