Listed on the Dubai Financial Market (DFM) and based in the UAE, Aramex is centrally located at the crossroads between East and West, which allows us to provide customized logistics solutions anywhere in the world effectively and reach more businesses and consumers regionally and globally. We are committed to continually enhancing our operations across the region while pursuing opportunities for business growth in emerging markets abroad. This approach is core to the sustainable development of our business and commitment to facilitating wider, global trade in an ever-changing world. What We Do We have successfully introduced market leading express delivery and logistics services to the Middle East and other emerging economies. As a leading global provider of comprehensive logistics and transportation solutions, our breadth of services include express courierdelivery, freight forwarding, logistics, supply chain management, e-commerce and record management services. How We Do It Our unique, asset-light business model underlies all of the strategic decisions we make. It has proved highly successful, allowing Aramexus to swiftly adapt to challenging market conditions, execute last-mile delivery solutions and quickly respond to changing customer preferences. Innovation in technology is critical to maintaining our asset-light business model and leveraging the Aramex global network. Instead of investing heavily in infrastructure, we acquire or partner with domestic-focused logistics companies that have strong local networks, knowledge and transportation solutions already in place for efficient and effective last-mile delivery. This approach has proven to have significant benefits for both our business and customers and why we consider ourselves a technology enterprise, selling transportation and logistics solutions without being encumbered by heavy investments in assets. We also believe that investing in and sourcing new technologies in the field of e-commerce in particular is core to a swifter, more efficient movement of goods and services globally and maintaining our market leadership position. We also recognize that to continue to grow a truly sustainable business we must serve and develop the markets and communities where we operate. Our "Delivering Good” sustainability platform is active in over 180 educational, social and environmental projects worldwide and we have partnered with a number of international and local organizations devoted to similar causes.
