Profile
Operating across West Africa (Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Guinea, etc.), Bakou Logistics has a strong presence throughout the region and ranks among the largest road hauliers in bulk and high-volume transport.
The company’s strength lies in its combination of international standards and expertise in both transportation and logistics, a highly developed West African network, advanced transport management systems (e.g. Sage Transport), and a strong focus on quality and service. These qualities are reflected in a high level of customer satisfaction, particularly through reliable delivery times, low loss rates, and competitive pricing.
Quality
Bakou Logistics’ trucks are ADR certified. The company has also been recognised as the Best Transporter for Total Burkina. Bakou Logistics provides training to its workforce through its own training programme as well as the CFTRA training programme.
The Total Transport Management System (TMS) is also closely involved in driver training.
Sustainability
Bakou Logistics recognises the importance of corporate sustainability as a core element of its operations. In all its decisions the company takes into account not only commercial aspects but also health, safety and environmental considerations.
Bakou Logistics places a high priority on safe, clean, and efficient mobility and logistic solutions, such as maintaining an eco-efficient fleet, using alternative fuels (biofuels), and achieving operational excellence through effective transport planning, optimisation of loading capacity, and reduction of empty mileage and CO2 emissions.
Bakou Logistics has set out its ambitions in an action programme with concrete targets for CO2 reduction, employee well-being, safety, and customer satisfaction.
Through quality management and Behaviour-Based Safety, the company consistently applies and enforces strict standards, rules, codes, and procedures in the areas of safety and environmental protection.
