JD Logistics Awarded the World’s First ISO14068 Carbon Neutrality Certificate for On-demand Delivery Service
JD Logistics (also known as Jingdong Logistics) recently announced that it has been awarded the world’s first ISO14068 carbon neutrality certificate for on-demand delivery service by Bureau Veritas, a global leader in testing, inspection, and certification. The certificate comes as a result of JD Logistics’ ongoing commitment to sustainability in supply chain and logistics operations.
JD Logistics has been providing on-demand delivery services for a global technology company since 2022 and has become the brand’s first logistics service provider in China to provide in-dependent, full-lifecycle carbon neutral services at the order-level. Through this partnership, JD Logistics track supply chain carbon footprints and implements precise carbon reduction technologies based on data analysis. JD Logistics has pledged to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 for the project, while assisting its partners in reaching “Carbon Emission Decoupling” goals for on-demand retail services.
ISO 14068 provides principles, requirements, and guidance for achieving and demonstrating carbon neutrality. According to the International Organization for Standardization, this standard focuses on quantifying, reducing, and offsetting carbon emissions, with an emphasis on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within the value chain before relying on offsets. It ensures that carbon neutrality efforts are scientifically valid, transparent, and contribute to sustainable development., and communicated transparently.
In 2023, JD Logistics launched its in-house developed Supply Chain Emission Management Platform (SCEMP), which is verified to track over 140 types of carbon emission factors specific to road transportation in China. SCEMP accurately calculates carbon emissions based on real-time transportation routes, providing unmatched precision. To date, SCEMP has supported over 25 leading enterprises across industries such as electronics, apparel, beauty, auto, food, and chemicals, calculating over six million orders and helping partners to reduce over 300 tons of carbon dioxide.
SCEMP also plays a vital role in JD.com’s retail and ecommerce business. The company’s “Green Impact Initiative” leverages SCEMP to offer a mechanism that can monitor, report, verify, and create value for customers. For instance, Apple and Logitech have participated in this initiative to offer customers “carbon reduce privilege” products. When customers purchase these labeled items on JD’s app, they can earn rewards such as coupons and merchandise.
Through its innovative solutions and commitment to sustainability, JD Logistics continues to lead the way in reducing carbon emissions across the logistics industry. The company’s dedication to carbon neutrality not only supports its own environmental goals but also empowers its partners to contribute to a more sustainable future.
