Pepkor’s logistics infrastructure is the lifeline of the business and is a significant part of our ability to deliver to our customers. Owing to our diversified product ranges across four business segments, different distribution methods are in place. They present distinctive operational intricacies with respect to product dispatch, transport and receipt.

The highest volume of the group’s logistics functions resides in the CGM segment. Pepkor Logistics (PKL) manages most of the logistics covering this segment, is outsourced, and falls into Scope 3 emissions (downstream transportation of our CGM segment). Our suppliers provide the trucks and drivers, while PKL oversees efficiencies through load and route optimisation. The JD Group and The Building Company own a fleet of delivery vehicles, which accounts for most of the group’s Scope 1 emissions (direct fuel combustion).
