Singapore Logistics Association – Executive, Corporate Services

Established as the Singapore Freight Forwarders Association in 1973, the association was renamed Singapore Logistics Association (SLA) in 1999 to reflect the growth and wide-ranging activities of its members. Today, SLA has more than 700 members, ranging from logistics enterprises to emerging players across the wider logistics ecosystem. The association stays anchored in its mission to sustain a vibrant community through active industry participation and collaborations with both local and international partners.

Offering a wide range of targeted programmes and initiatives to help enterprises be future ready, SLA also constantly reviews and explores forward-looking initiatives to help logistics enterprises implement business transformation improvements to emerge stronger and ahead of competition. In alignment with global sustainability goals, SLA supports the adoption of sustainable practices by encouraging members to explore green solutions that contribute to a more environmentally friendly sector.

To nurture a pipeline of global and future ready logistics talents for the industry, The Logistics Academy, a wholly owned subsidiary training arm of SLA was incorporated in 2010 to provide human capital and skills development courses to empower and deepen the skills of the workforce for the logistics sector.
