It was agreed that this would best be achieved by introducing an accreditation scheme to publicly recognise those members that successfully achieve industry agreed standards. Accreditation to this scheme is designed to enable you to demonstrate a commitment to safe, compliant and more efficient logistics operations throughout the industry. It enables you to promote the highest operating standards to your customers and reassures the public and Government that you are addressing issues that concern them.
