The award was originally created to recognize the organization that has done the most pioneering work in creating positive operational, regional and social change - an extremely important role in the modern supply chain.

Nominees were selected on the basis of excellence in safety and security, their contribution to international standards and the creation of opportunity for individuals.

The winner, GCAA, not only exhibited an aptitude in each of the aforementioned fields but has actively been pioneering in each, bringing the region to new heights and going the extra mile in creating a better industry - and world - for the people of tomorrow.

TLME CEO Sam Khan said: “The Excellence Awards are more than just about operational improvements, technology and elite business decision-making and this win symbolizes that.
