William Ma, Group Managing Director of Kerry Logistics Network, said, “We are honoured to be distinguished and promoted to the top Jade Award category in its debut year. Despite the disruptions caused by the pandemic, this year we have remained ever committed to protecting our employees’ health and safety and contributing to the communities where we served.
