Company Values is becoming increasingly important in these days of good corporate
governance, but also for practical purposes are linked to the need to build strong
corporate culture to improve overall company performance.
Our company values as a whole is as follows:
Profitability is essential in discharging socio-economic responsibility, as well as
staying in business.
It is a measure of both efficiency and the value placed upon us by our customers.
It is the duty of management to prioritize and discharge responsibilities in areas that
we value, such as:
The Board of Directors, collectively, determines major strategies and policies of the company. The Directors acknowledge that they are responsible for instituting internal control systems that should provide reasonable assurance regarding safeguarding assets, as well as the maintenance of proper accounting practice.
We have initialized an in-house driver empowerment program whereby our drivers can purchase the vehicles they are assigned to, after completing a calculated amount of service to the company, whereby they will acquire the asset yet continue to service our clients through us.
Gardee Global CC Is 100% BEE owned, and we intend to raise our status by training
women drivers, as well as empowering historically disadvantaged South Africans.

systematic approach to HSE Management in order to achieve continuous
performance improvement.

We take very seriously the need to protect our customers and the public, and we
carry coverage to do just that. With a half million Rands in cargo insurance, we are
well insured in the event of loss and can be increased if desired or needed.
In compliance with Manufacturers specifications, all vehicles are serviced regularly with genuine original parts.

Motion Liner Transport, a Company we have acquired, commenced operations in March
2009 out of Johannesburg with 5 truck tractor interlink combinations and 5 drivers.
Coming from humble beginnings, our old depot in Ormonde had a capacity for 20
vehicles, which was then reduce to a third of this size making our operations,
maintenance and systems difficult to control, as well as putting our company,
employees and clients at risk, we were forced to look for a new home.
In January 2012 we acquired new premises, which enables us to handle a larger fleet
and a more professional work environment. We also provide for warehousing, complete
in house maintenance and our own diesel supply. This is a huge stepping stone as we
can now operate over 100 vehicles.
Our operations supply transport and logistic solutions from South Africa into Botswana,
Zimbabwe, Zambia, Swaziland, Lesotho, Angola, Mozambique, Tanzania, DRC and
Kenya.
An HSSE system has been introduced to comply with legislation such as the OHS act
and to ensure that our business is done in a responsible manner.
Our Drivers are trained and fluent in English, Portuguese, French, and local Languages.
Gardee Global employs all relevant specific safety procedures as to the need
demanded, and goes a step further if possible to secure the loads being transported
and ensure the delivery takes place quickly and safely. We have a zero loss on loads
and no hijackings since inception as to the carefully strategized systems that are in
place.
Vehicles are allowed to operate only in day light hours to avoid collisions at night and
park at protected, safe truck stops enroute to destination. Vehicles are tracked twice
daily via satellite uplink and trips can be reviewed for up to 30 days.
All vehicles are equipped with Fire and Medical safety equipment as well as all other
relevant safety equipment necessary for the on board load. Continued maintenance has
become habit to ensure vehicles stay Road worthy.
Safety is further supported through insurance with access to RMS 24 hour emergency
assist.

extended to include Mozambique, Zambia, Zaire, Tanzania, Angola and the DRC up to
Lubumbashi.
GIT insurance is included if agreed to up to our current cover of R500, 000.00 based on
our current clients requirements.
At Gardee Global, we make use of a comprehensive incident management report which
covers detailed incident recording.
An assessment is made on each employee, vehicle, public, and Environmental factors
that could be considered to avoid delays and more importantly foreseeable incidents. It
is one of the primary responsibilities that we undertake to manage risk, safety and
foreseeable incidents, by constantly updating our program as well implementing newer,
better systems. We are also linked with “One Truck Assist” for comprehensive incident
management.
All Vehicles are equipped with two Tracking and recovery units, a recovery system in
case of theft and Hijack, and a Fleet Management System. Company personnel are
automatically notified if vehicles deviate off – route or if the main batteries are
disconnected.
Recovery and maintenance has proved to be a difficult hurdle in long distance transport,
especially for Pneumatic, Mechanical or Electrical “Break Downs”, we have
communicated with a host of foreign transport companies in the Capital cities of the
countries we operate in to do unscheduled Maintenance for us in their respective
territories, and we service them in South Africa.
Drivers are trained continuously to adapt themselves to be able to overcome
maintenance problems en-route and are equipped with tools and guidelines to follow
incase of emergency breakdowns. It is for this specific reason we maintain a 1 driver, 1
truck policy.

the SADC regions and our Territorial Limits.
