All aboard to become the most sustainable freight forwarder in Africa
As a digital freight forwarder, we are aware of how complex our business is and realistic about how much of the value chain we are able to digitize due to factors outside our control. Despite this FlexFR8 is wholly committed to making a worthwhile contribution to the environment through sustainable business practices.
Building a sustainable business is at the forefront of what we do.
Knowing that we operate in a sector that is among the largest producers of CO2 emissions, we have taken it upon ourselves to ensure that we are fully compliant with global standards subscribing fully to the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

These small changes amount to a larger contribution to a more a sustainable business and also reduce the chances of error that can be made when tasks are performed manually.
