CHEP, a global leader in supply chain solutions, operates across more than 60 countries, partnering
with manufacturers, retailers and logistics providers to move goods efficiently and sustainably. In
South Africa, CHEP plays a vital role in modernising supply chains through its unique share-and-
reuse model designed to reduce waste, lower costs and build greater resilience across industries.

This circular model, which relies on reusable pallets, crates and containers, is central to CHEPs value proposition. By minimising reliance on single-use packaging and optimising transport networks, CHEP enables businesses to reduce their carbon footprints while improving operational efficiency. In South Africa, where supply chain disruptions, cost pressures and climate risks intersect, this approach is increasingly important.

Sustainability, however, is only one dimension of the company’s local impact. The company
recognises that long-term resilience also depends on inclusive growth ensuring that opportunity,
representation and equity are embedded within its operations. That’s why Diversity, Equity and
Inclusion (DEI) are not treated as standalone initiatives but as strategic priorities that underpin CHEPs way of doing business.

This commitment starts with its people. CHEP South Africa is focused on building a representative
and empowered workforce, aligned with the country’s transformation agenda. Employment equity
programmes, leadership development pipelines and structured mentorship are helping close
opportunity gaps and accelerate advancement for underrepresented groups. These efforts are backed by measurable goals and supported by an inclusive culture that values every employee’s voice.

These efforts have earned CHEP South Africa recognition within the industry. The company has been recognised as a Top Employer for eight consecutive years and as a Global Top Employer for the past three years. Beyond the workplace, its community-focused initiatives are also making an impact providing skills training, mentorship and employment pathways for underserved groups.

By aligning global expertise with local priorities, CHEP is helping to shape a more inclusive and
sustainable supply chain landscape in South Africa. As it continues to grow, the company remains
focused on delivering solutions that not only move goods but move the country forward toward greater equity, environmental responsibility and shared prosperity.
