Complex logistics lending a hand to global aid and relief For more than 50 years, we have partnered with and been a leading provider of complex aid, development and project solutions to UN agencies and NGOs. The humanitarian consequences of climate change are a growing concern for those partners. Climate change causes an increase in weather-related humanitarian disasters, and forces people into poverty and displacement, exacerbating the factors that lead to violent conflict in vulnerable areas around the world. Moreover, COVID-19 significantly increased the need for vaccine deliveries globally of which we securely delivered more than 500 million vaccines globally for COVAX in 2021. Expectations are that the need for aid and relief operations will grow, and we will continue to support with humanitarian logistics in any form required. Our commitment to supporting societies globally is part of our overall Sustainability efforts.

Employee engagement, development and diversity

The transport and logistics sector is vulnerable to corrupt business practices, particularly in high-risk countries. As a global organisation with an asset-light business model that contracts with suppliers to deliver services on our behalf, we rely on building and maintaining a common understanding of how we expect business to be conducted with our people, suppliers and other third parties.

Scan Global Logistics’ (SGL’s) strategy towards sustainability is anchored in science and we therefore joined the Science Based Targets initiative in 2020. As part of the Science Based Targets initiative we have committed to an ambition aligned with limiting global warming to 1.5˚C and reaching net-zero in 2050.
