DSV wins big at the 2025 Africa Supply Chain Excellence Awards

As a leading global supply chain company and expert logistics provider, DSV is proud to announce that we received two prestigious awards at the 2025 Africa Supply Chain Excellence Awards (ASCEA), last night, 7 August 2025, at Montecasino in Johannesburg.

The event brought together leading supply chain professionals, customers, and partners to recognise excellence and innovation within the African supply chain industry. ASCEA is a non-profit initiative that honours organisations making meaningful contributions to the advancement of supply chain management across Africa. Proceeds from the event support bursaries for individuals pursuing education in this field.

Award-winning entries:

1. DSV in South Africa: Outstanding achievement for excellence in unique supply chain projects

This award recognises DSV's precision project logistics in Mozambique, a standout example of project logistics and heavy cargo transport in Africa. The submission highlighted a unique logistics project that involved transporting three 80-ton high-pressure vessels from the Port of Maputo to Temane, Mozambique - over 800km inland. The project was executed over four days with precision and safety. The complex operation showcased DSV's expertise in African logistics, risk-sensitive projects, and strategic foresight in delivering complex, large-scale logistics solutions across the continent.

2. DSV Road x Everlectric: Winner for excellence in environmental innovation in transport

This award recognises DSV's collaboration with Everlectric, a South African company specialising in electric vehicles (EVs), and a leading South African retailer, to implement sustainable transport solutions by integrating EVs into its distribution fleet. Together, the partners are setting new standards in cost-effectiveness and decarbonisation within the transport and logistics industry. Aligned with the organisations' sustainability goals and targets, the transition to EVs has already made a measurable environmental impact. Since the launch of the EV initiative in 2022, the partnership has achieved a total reduction of approximately 826,000kg of CO2 emissions. This initiative sets a benchmark for what is possible when organisations come together with a shared vision and dedication to the future of sustainable logistics in South Africa.
