Innovation Leader in Logistics / 2026 / Benin
Fohla Mouftaou is the Co‑Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Green Keeper Africa (GKA), a leading environmental services company focused on preventing pollution and promoting sustainable practices. Through his leadership, Mouftaou has established GKA as a key player in addressing hydrocarbon contamination, a persistent challenge in logistics operations.
GKA provides practical solutions to prevent and manage environmental risks associated with fuels, oils, and other industrial liquids. Its services include hydrocarbon spill response, soil and water remediation, waste management, and the deployment of eco‑friendly absorbents. The company works closely with logistics operators, ports, terminals, and industrial facilities to integrate pollution prevention into everyday operations, reducing environmental hazards and supporting compliance with regulations.
A significant example of Mouftaou’s impact is GKA’s partnership with Benin Terminal at the Port of Cotonou. The company supplies 100 percent organic absorbents branded GKSORB and provides training for terminal staff on eco‑responsible practices. GKA also assists with the recovery of collected oil, environmental assessments, and recommendations to enhance the port’s pollution prevention systems. This collaboration demonstrates the direct application of GKA’s solutions in one of West Africa’s busiest logistics hubs.
Beyond infrastructure support, Mouftaou emphasizes capacity building and knowledge transfer. He works with logistics and industrial operators to train teams in spill prevention, environmental risk management, and sustainable operational practices. Collaborations with contractors such as SOGEA‑SATOM allow GKA to test and implement solutions in real‑world settings, strengthening both environmental performance and operational resilience.
Mouftaou also links GKA’s industrial work with community and environmental initiatives. Through partnerships with organisations like Join For Water, GKA uses water hyacinth as raw material for absorbents, creating a circular approach that addresses pollution while promoting local environmental stewardship.
Through Green Keeper Africa, Fohla Mouftaou has demonstrated that logistics and industrial operations can thrive while minimizing environmental impact. His leadership combines innovation, education, and practical solutions to prevent hydrocarbon pollution, making GKA a benchmark for sustainability in Africa’s logistics sector.
