Two APL Logistics directors set up a recruitment booth at my school, where they introduced the company to everyone. I wasn’t familiar with the industry or the company at the time, but I was instantly attracted to the international image. I imagined myself growing here and decided I wanted to join right away.

During the interview process, I completed a written test, screening and was interviewed by the Director. APL Logistics was establishing a centre, so the Director wanted to interview candidates himself. After finding out more about the company, especially its history, I knew this was a good company and I had made the right choice.

Although the things we do towards a more sustainable future are very simple, such as turning off the lights when not in use, bringing in your own water bottle, using reusable handkerchiefs instead of tissues etc., we have introduced this relatively new concept and integrated it into our daily work.

Besides environment sustainability, the company aims to match every employee’s personal talents with the company’s goals and visions. This goal is being achieved by delivering training and practising skills every Friday afternoon.

From the top-down, there is an effort to create a tight-knit, family-oriented business. The feeling of walking into an office and connecting with everyone, or of knowing that the ownership and management really care about the employees here and the environment we operate in, is something that I really value.
