Sustainable development and integration of Local Community Contractors (LCCs) into a customer’s supply chain plays a key role in the success of any logistics outsourcing engagement and the development of a stable local economic base.

Bahwan Exel fully understands, and is aligned to the strategic importance of LCC development and can draw upon its previous successes and learnings to support customer commitments towards developing LCC’s to acceptable standards in safety, quality, cost and performance.
