Scan Global Logistics (SGL) continues its growth path in Latin America with the acquisition of Blu Logistics Brasil (Blu). The largest country in South America, Brazil is the world’s eighth-largest economy, holding immense potential for the global logistics provider. Blu Logistics was founded in 2013 and quickly established itself as a leading freight forwarder in Brazil, and boasting impressive growth rates of 27% and 47% in the last two years alone.

Our defined purpose at SGL is to make the world a little less complicated, and never has our purpose been more relevant, with ever constant volatility being present in all corners of our industry.

We are proud to announce that on Monday, July 29, 2024, our long-term and net-zero targets for 2050 were approved by the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as one of only a few companies within the logistics industry. The approval means that SBTi confirms our efforts to achieve our targets align with the 1.5°C trajectory from the Paris agreement to reach net zero by 2050 or sooner. To new and existing customers with SBTi targets, the approval ensures a partnership with a leading sustainable logistics provider in decarbonising their supply chain.

Anchored deep in our 1-3-5 Strategy is a dedication to creating the most purpose-driven and meaningful company within the logistics industry. Why? At the end of the day, logistics is a people’s business. The recently launched Empowering People: Unlocking Potential Project is designed to foster growth, inclusivity, and innovation across our organisation so everyone can thrive, contribute, and grow — personally and professionally.
