SHANGHAI – Agility, a leading global logistics provider, received the award for “Global 3PL of the Year” for the second year running at the prestigious Supply Chain Asia Logistics Awards in Shanghai.  Agility also claimed a second honor - the “Green Supply Chain” award - the same evening.

More than 300 leading logistics and supply chain professionals gathered for the region’s premier event at the Shanghai Marriott Hotel City Centre. In the highly competitive categories, Agility took the accolades following a ballot of Supply Chain Asia magazine readers and a final decision by a panel of distinguished judges comprising of Asia’s leading supply chain academics and leaders.  

“To be recognized for two years in succession as a global leader by our peers in Asia and now to also be acknowledged for our green supply chain strategy, is a tremendous achievement,” said Hans Hickler, Agility, CEO, Asia Pacific. “We are very proud to receive these awards on behalf of our 22,000 colleagues in Asia and around the world."

To win the “Global 3PL of the Year” award Agility had to meet a range of criteria that included the size and scale of its global network, how it works with customers to better understand their requirements, launch/upgrade of new products and services on an ongoing basis to match market demand, and its approach to sustainability and social responsibility issues. The “Green Supply Chain” award was presented to Agility in recognition of the development of its sustainable supply chain operations and internal initiatives to reduce its carbon footprint.

The Supply Chain Asia Logistics Awards brings recognition to corporations and individuals in the fields of supply chain and logistics. Each year, the awards ceremony brings together over 300 senior industry executives for a five-star gala dinner and awards presentation. The event rotates between the major Asian supply chain hubs of Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore.

These latest awards follow the “Logistics Award,” which Agility received at the Lloyd’s List Asia Awards ceremony in Hong Kong last month.
