In 2023, we pledge to continue to improve across all frontiers and serve our clients and shareholders with utmost integrity and reach new milestones.
2022 was a milestone year for GWC in many aspects. We are still basking in the glory of the tremendous effort put forth by our team to deliver an unforgettable FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022TM. As the Official Logistics Provider for the tournament, GWC had a gigantic logistics mandate which required a forward-thinking and agile strategy taking into consideration all local, regional and international developments that could impact it.
GWC implemented a control tower approach for FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022TM which delivered according to a master delivery schedule and this proved to be a major success and ensured seamless delivery of goods across all verticals.
However, not the ones to rest on our laurels, we are taking the learnings and experiences from organising this mega sporting-event and moving forward to our next goals.
I am proud of leading a team that from the past decade has worked diligently on such a diverse blueprint and has been so responsive and committed to finding solutions, and adapting to deliver the best experience for all stakeholders.
I would like to reiterate that with GWC’s strong focus on digitalisation and Qatar National Vision 2030, the Group has been working diligently to provide holistic and innovative solutions to its clients while keeping a firm grip on its ESG framework.
We also successfully organised the second GWC Forum – “Ready for the Game” – which validated our position as a thought leader in the logistics industry and gave various stakeholders a platform to discuss issues pertaining to MSMEs and the impact of the World Cup on them.
In 2022, we continued our work on sustainability by being a part of the Qatar Sustainability Week and strengthening our endeavor to keep environmental protection and sustainability at the core of our initiatives.
I would like to reiterate that with GWC’s strong focus on digitalization and Qatar National Vision 2030, the Group has been working diligently to provide holistic and innovative solutions to its clients while keeping a firm grip on its ESG framework.
Further to this, we also revamped our website to enhance user experience with numerous features, a smarter and more intuitive user experience, richer content, and an easier navigation experience. GWC also got accredited as an Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) from Qatar’s General Authority of Customs, encouraging us to continue with our commitment to offer unparalleled services to clients and be a pioneer in the field of logistics.
At the beginning of 2022, we were awarded the Best Customs Brokerage Company by the General Authority of Customs, an award which served as a testament to GWC’s due diligence when it comes to customs protocol.
GWC was also recognised by the Ministry of Labour for our commitment towards occupational health and safety, which is a validation of our persistent and pioneering work towards safeguarding the health and safety of our employees.
In 2023, we pledge to continue to improve across all frontiers and serve our clients and shareholders with utmost integrity and reach new milestones.
