As a philosophy Transworld Group is driven by the higher purpose of delivering prosperity to humanity. While we are in the business to make profits for our shareholders, employees & associates, the sublime goal is to use this wealth as a medium to share & create prosperity for the entire eco-system & be a catalyst for positive change. Our corporate responsibility activities are spread across all sections of the society & environment. The employees & their respective families are all involved in our social activities, thereby spreading the culture of compassion & giving.

A goal we have set ourselves at the Transworld Group where we have taken a pledge that we will work towards being a carbon-neutral organization by 2043. To reach that aim, over the next few years, we will start with focusing on reducing our greenhouse gas emissions across all businesses and locations. Additionally, we are committed to strengthening data security and building a more diverse and inclusive workspace. But we plan to meet these goals in a more measurable manner. Besides United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), we are also following the United Nations Global Compact initiative and we have applied for certification from CDP, a not-for-profit charity that runs the global disclosure system for companies, investors, and cities, etc.

ESG is the framework around which the entire ecosystem of Transworld Group operates. Our value systems and yellow line for business operations flow from the ESG framework. It is always a work in progress and value creation has always been an integral part of the Transworld Group DNA. We believe that businesses can thrive only if the society and environment prosper alongside.

Digital Transformation

One of the biggest challenges during the pandemic for companies was to abruptly take their operations digital. Thankfully for Transworld Group, we started the process of digitalization few years ago & we were successfully able to adapt during the pandemic. Going forward, one of the biggest challenges for the companies would be to quickly adapt & strengthen their digital capabilities to be able to align with the industry & also protect themselves from cyber-attacks. The next generation off staff & customers will be the ‘Gen Z’ who have grown up on most advanced digital platforms & apps. We have initiated Project with Oracle “Innovation in Motion” to provide a seamless integrated platform to our staff & customers. Transworld as a conscious effort has been continuously embedding the digital culture & thought process in our employees. We also undertake regular interactions with customers & have on-boarded them on a digital transformation initiative with a global institution “Digital Supply Chain Institute (DSCI)”

“Using our efficient, central, ERP system we can manage everything from physical inventory, outbound and material tracking, and physical returns in real-time. We can also handlee verything from loading to transporting,” explained Anand, “we can then support customers with export clearance and documentation and ensure that reliable and fast inland logistics delivers the goods and documentation on time”.

Since its inauguration in February 2023, the terminal has seen great success and systems growing stronger.

“The $50 million terminal is set to be one of the most versatile bulk liquid terminals in the GCC with a storage volume of over 34,000 cu m, boosting petrochemical trade across the Middle East and globally,” said DP World, the owner and operator of Jebel Ali Port.

AquaChemie is anticipating positive return on the terminal (which has a gross revenue target of $300 million over the next three years) which will be announced at the end of the 2023 financial year.

Perfect Timing

Despite being in business for 12 years and seeing significant growth through challenging times, it feels as though fate has allowed good timing for the business for 2023 and beyond.

With the UAE and Saudi Arabian regions in a period of growth, co-founders Subrato and Anand foresee significant business increase in the area.

“With positive political movements happening in regions such as Iran and Saudi Arabia, I think there is an optimistic outlook ahead. We’ll continue to focus our growth in GCC, along with Iraq and India,” shared Subrato.

The business also has plans for growth within its product line, focussing on its customers in upstream oil and gas, as well as foreseeing further growth in paints, coatings and industrial ink.

“With our growth plans we anticipate the need to increase our staffing levels by around 25% to meet demand,” said Anand.

AquaChemie and its governance believe that now is a fantastic time for businesses to expand into the Gulf.

“The region is growing and both supply and demand is good. Now is a fantastic time to explore business opportunities in the GCC,” said Anand.
