Kintetsu World Express , with the help of Shell Aviation , is on a mission to drive a sustainable future for the field of transportation and logistics

Kintetsu World Express ( KWE ) was born in Japan and remains proud of those roots , but its exponential growth over the years means it is now very much a global entity .

Around the world , KWE is providing customers with an extensive variety of logistics services , from air and sea freight to road and rail transport , not to mention warehousing .
KWE continues to boast the upper hand over its competitors thanks to its relatively streamlined management hierarchy and straightforward approach to decision-making .
During 2023 , a host of major projects were either launched , progressed or completed in the field of sustainability , which Van de Ven suspects may have taken several years at a rival company .
“ We make decisions very quickly for our customers , especially on special requests ,” says Frederik van de Ven , Sustainability Director of KWE ’ s EMEA Regional HQ .
“ Being at the forefront of sustainability , we proudly stand out from the rest of our competitors . We have committed to the Science Based Targets initiative ( SBTi ), we are a working group member of Smart Freight Centre and we have a lot of green products in place for our customers , so I hope we ’ re becoming an example to those companies as well .” energydigital . com 187
