The judges recognised the Group’s efforts in building sustainable and efficient supply chain solutions through its strong engagement with all stakeholders. They also highlighted the company’s commitment to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace, as well as noting its strategic vision which supports the longevity and sustainability of the business.
