Imagine a world where sustainability isn't a cost burden but a new engine for profit growth. At the COP30 conference, JD Logistics demonstrated how this vision is becoming reality—not through empty rhetoric but through tangible technological innovation that creates green supply chain advantages while reducing costs and improving efficiency.
Certified Green Credentials: Validated Sustainability Leadership
JD Logistics' sustainability case study was selected for inclusion in the China Sustainable Development Report (2025) , marking not just an honor but authoritative recognition of its environmental practices. The company also received the "COP30 China Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality Path Enterprise Case" award from the China Association of Circular Economy, further validating its leadership in green development. These prestigious accolades serve as powerful endorsements of JD Logistics' transformation and industry leadership.
Smart Carbon Reduction: From High Consumption to Carbon Neutrality
While traditional logistics parks are often synonymous with high energy consumption, JD Logistics has fundamentally transformed this paradigm through technological innovation. Wang Ying, Vice President of JD Group, detailed at a COP30 side event how the company uses IoT and AI to convert its "Asia No. 1" smart industrial parks from energy centers into low-carbon benchmarks—even achieving carbon neutrality at the campus level.
The company's approach includes:
- IoT + AI Smart Management: Deploying extensive sensor networks and AI algorithms to monitor and optimize energy use in real-time, maximizing efficiency and minimizing waste.
- Digital Fleet Management Platform: A proprietary system that intelligently routes vehicles based on real-time traffic and cargo data, reducing empty miles and fuel consumption.
- Multimodal Transport Optimization: Innovative "road-to-rail" solutions that leverage different transportation modes to reduce reliance on carbon-intensive trucking.
- "Jing Tan Hui" Carbon Footprint Platform: A self-developed system providing carbon tracking for over 1,000 global brands, transforming vague emissions data into actionable insights for supply chain optimization.
Global Collaboration: Building a Green Supply Chain Ecosystem
Recognizing that sustainability requires collective action, JD Logistics has established a global logistics network through its "Global Weaving Network Plan," now managing over 1.3 million square meters of overseas warehouse space. This infrastructure supports both operational efficiency and the development of a green supply chain ecosystem.
The company shares its sustainability solutions through initiatives like its "Efficient Reverse Logistics" service, which helps global brands reduce costs while promoting resource circularity—aligning business objectives with environmental goals.
Ecological Stewardship: From Mangroves to Marine Conservation
JD Logistics extends its environmental commitment beyond business operations into ecological protection. Key initiatives include:
- Restoring over 40,000 square meters of mangroves at Hengqin Erjingwan National Wetland Park to protect biodiversity and combat climate change.
- The "Ocean Box Partners" program uniting supply chain partners, NGOs, and public stakeholders in marine conservation efforts.
- "Beach Cleanup" campaigns that transform collected sea glass and other waste into sustainable artisanal products.
Strategic Vision: FAST Framework for Sustainable Development
In July, JD Logistics upgraded its sustainability strategy to "FAST"—Future-oriented, Achievement-driven, Synergistic, and Technology-empowered—marking a shift from passive emission reduction to active ecological value creation. This framework guides the company's integration of technological innovation with environmental responsibility as it addresses global climate challenges.
Through technological leadership, global collaboration, and ecological stewardship, JD Logistics is demonstrating how supply chains can drive both economic growth and environmental sustainability—setting an example for the logistics industry and beyond.
