“This certification demonstrates our commitment on full compliance in handling pharmaceutical products and other temperature-sensitive commodities. Meanwhile, it will greatly reinforce our capability to further develop our core competency in transportation and logistics service for the healthcare industry,” said Jessie ZHOU, general manager of operations at Bolloré Logistics Shanghai.

The certification will allow Bolloré Logistics China to have a strategic advantage in the China healthcare logistics market with a stronger, more competitive and enhanced air cargo service. This shows Bolloré Logistics’ commitment to achieve the highest international quality standard in the global pharmaceutical supply chain for its customers. With Singapore, Australia, South Korea and now China being certified, the aim of Bolloré Logistics is to deploy this action throughout its global network with on-going certifications on other sites in the Asia-Pacific region such as China Hong Kong and Japan.
