Ladybird Logistics, a subsidiary of ZEN Petroleum, has once again made headlines for its groundbreaking all-female driver team, earning a commendation for Gender Equality and Inclusion at the prestigious Africa Sustainable Futures Awards.The awards ceremony, held at the Peninsula London, celebrated innovative and financially sustainable initiatives addressing critical development issues across Africa.
Selected as a finalist, Ladybird Logistics' Female Driver Programme stood out among contenders for its transformative approach to empowering women in a traditionally male-dominated industry.
