The platform enables end-to-end, precise monitoring, reporting, verification (MRV), and performance tracking of Scope 3 carbon emissions across supply chains. JD Logistics also works closely with upstream and downstream supply chain participants to foster a collaborative low-carbon ecosystem, significantly reducing climate impact across the broader production and manufacturing sectors.
WSIS is the world’s largest multistakeholder summit focused on “ICT for Development.” The summit is dedicated to advancing the role of information and communication technologies (ICT) in fostering a sustainable global information society. Jointly organized by ITU, UNESCO, UNDP, and UNCTAD, the summit recognizes organizations worldwide for their contributions to accelerating socioeconomic progress. This recognition affirms JD Logistics’ contribution to harnessing technology for global sustainability.
SCEMP is the only solution that integrates ISO 14064, ISO 14083, ISO 14068, and the Smart Freight Centre’s GLEC Framework, pioneering a distributed carbon ledger model that enables SKU-level carbon footprint tracking across the supply chain. Each carbon emission record is independently verifiable, transparent, and traceable. Since 2024, JD Logistics has extended its MRV-T technology to the consumer sector, making it possible to quantify carbon reductions from green consumption and sustainable deliveries.
To date, SCEMP has tracked the carbon footprint of over 100 million orders, with cumulative carbon reductions surpassing 500 tons.
