These awards, which are now in their fourth successful year, aim to elevate and advance supply chain management in Africa. While recognising and celebrating innovation, resilience and excellence in the supply chain industry, they also enable collaboration, industry benchmarking, the sharing of knowledge and best practices to drive supply chain excellence and Africa’s economic growth.
“Entrants are not merely competing, they are helping to shape the future of supply chain management in Africa,” says Liesl de Wet, a director of the awards.
“There is growing recognition of the key role that supply chains play in business success and economic growth,” she states.
A distinguished panel of judges has been appointed for the 2025 Africa Supply Chain Excellence Awards.
Garry Marshall, chair of the judging panel, says that the awards benefit businesses, staff, clients and all role players in an organisation’s supply chain.
“A company making headway in Africa's increasingly innovative and competitive logistics environment will benefit immensely from submitting an entry to the Africa Supply Chain Excellence Awards,” he asserts. “The fulfilment of seeing the initiative achieve recognition from distinguished subject experts will delight and motivate staff, clients and other stakeholders in the logistics network."
This year’s Africa Supply Chain Excellence Awards feature 12 important categories that businesses and individuals can enter.

• Demand Planning and Management• Humanitarian and Health Supply Chain Management• Innovation and Change Management• International Trade• Inventory, Warehousing and Distribution Management• Manufacturing and Production Management• Preservation of the Environment• Procurement and Supply Chain Management• Supply Chain Co-ordination and Collaboration• Talent Management• Technology Information Systems and Related Fields• Transport (all modes & intermodal)
Since their inception in 2022, the Africa Supply Chain Excellence Awards have become a key event on the industry’s calendar.

The participation from 48 African countries reflects the diversity and innovation driving Africa's supply chain sector. A total of 90 winners were recognised for excellence, from sustainability initiatives to digital transformation in supply chains and more.”
