[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] Hyundai Glovis is joining forces with its partners to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic crisis.

Hyundai Glovis announced on the 17th that it will hold online seminars from mid-this month to next month for working-level staff of companies belonging to the partners' association to discuss strengthening job strategies and improving work environments.

The seminars will be divided into forwarding (international logistics brokerage), maritime port, inland transportation, and export packaging sectors, each conducted via the video conferencing solution 'Webex.' At the first seminar held last week, participants agreed on the need for logistics policies such as developing detours and alternative transportation methods, investing in automated unmanned facilities, and temporary reductions in port usage and rental fees under the theme "The Impact of COVID-19 on International Logistics."

The company plans to continue the seminars until next month, covering topics such as analyzing the maritime transport market conditions and outlook for the second half of the year, collaboration tasks to prevent safety accidents in logistics sites, and the impact and response strategies to decarbonization regulations in the shipping market.

Hyundai Glovis established the partners' association in 2019 as the first logistics company to do so, with the founding purpose of “pursuing mutual benefit and development through exchanges on an equal footing.” The association members are companies with high external credit ratings that maintain continuous transactions of a certain scale with Hyundai Glovis. They are organized into five committees and ten subcommittees, conducting regular exchange activities such as general meetings and management seminars.

Member companies share the latest logistics trends and advanced corporate information with the company and discuss ways to improve service quality together. In May, an online seminar was held for the management of the partners' association on topics including Hyundai Glovis's key projects, the future business of the SI headquarters, and changes in corporate management from a safety and health perspective.

The satisfaction level of partner companies is also high. According to a survey conducted among members who attended the recently held '2021 General Meeting,' 95% responded positively when asked about their satisfaction with transactions and cooperative relationships with Hyundai Glovis.

A Hyundai Glovis official said, “Thanks to the dedication and cooperation of our partners, Hyundai Glovis has been able to grow steadily,” adding, “We will strive to realize the core value of mutual growth and become a trusted partner to leap forward as a leading company in the global logistics market.”
