The Executive Director Award was conferred in appreciation of the effectiveness, contribution, leadership, and business ethics of the individual winner. William Ma attached great importance to those by applying his deep knowledge about the industry to set up strategy and manage risk from enterprise-wide perspective, the HKIoD judges remarked. His adherence to transparency when communicating with the Board and management team was likewise praised. “We are deeply honoured to receive the two prestigious awards from the HKIoD,” said William Ma. “These awards acknowledge the dedicated efforts of the Board and staff. The team has toiled over many years in places of different languages, cultures, religious beliefs, and political systems. Our journey has challenged us to move out of our comfort zones, and in the process, strengthened our core belief: quality governance is twined with operational excellence, ensuring sustainable value to customers and shareholders.” “We are grateful to the awards committee for this encouragement. We remain committed in upholding our best practices in corporate governance. This will continue to drive Kerry Logistics’ vision to become Asia’s leading logistics service provider, enabling us to maintain our competitive advantage to capture opportunities in different markets globally and along the new Silk Road, as well as to create long-term value to our shareholders and stakeholders,” William Ma added. -End- About Directors of the Year Awards Document: http://n.eqs.com/c/fncls.ssp?u=DMKOWCTECV Document title: KL Garners Two Wins at Directors of the Year Awards 2017-E (1Dec)_Final
