Imperial wins green award

Imperial Logistics has once again been recognised for its “green logistics” evolution.

This time, marketing director Abrie de Swardt has received the Green Supply Chain Industry Leadership Award 2011 for his far-reaching work on bringing “green” practices to the supply chain within Imperial Logistics and by spreading the message broadly throughout the supply chain and business communities.

“We need to develop a sophisticated view of the impact that we have on the environment. We need to change our behaviour and the way we look at green,” De Swardt says, adding that Imperial Logistics is on a sustainability-focused growth path that balances people, planet and profit.
