The World Logistics Passport (WLP) creates opportunities for business and governments to actively improve existing trading routes, and develop new ones, through the world’s first logistics loyalty program for freight forwarders and traders.

The WLP is helping to reimagine how goods and services move around the world, increase resilience in global supply chains and remove the barriers that prevent developing economies from trading as freely as they might.

It was established to overcome trade impediments that limit the growth of trade between developing markets, and builds logistical bridges between manufacturing hubs in Asia, Africa, and Central and South America.

To date Brazil, Colombia, Senegal, Kazakhstan, South Africa and Uruguay have registered as partners of the WLP, with a queue of others building. Senegal, Kazakhstan and Colombia were the first member countries to formally join Dubai in sharing expertise to smooth trade flows around the world.
