Environmental protection and pollution prevention are critically important for responsible carriers of cross-border freight, according to Nesh Freight International, a specialist freight forwarder with dedicated routes between South Africa, Malawi, Zimbabwe and Zambia. “We have accepted these responsibilities and have implemented numerous cutting edge best practice policies to address environmental protection,” says the company’s director, Ranesh Reddi. “We have strong values that the company abides by. Integrity is an important part of our company culture.” And part of that is to move consignments from collection to destination in the most cost-effective, efficient method while embracing environmental conservation and safety standards. “Protecting the environment and controlling harmful emissions to conserve energy and natural resources and to contribute to environmental protection is very important to us.” With an office in Zambia the company is able to handle any consignment to the country efficiently, says Reddi. “It is important to develop and promote cross-border African trade, growing not only the South African economy but also those of our neighbouring countries.”
