JD Logistics Launches the World’s First Supply Chain Emission Management Platform for Logistics Industry
by Yuchuan Wang
On April 11, JD Logistics, in collaboration with the Green Supply Chain Committee of the All-China Environment Federation, proudly introduced the world’s first Supply Chain Emission Management Platform (SCEMP) for logistics industry. This groundbreaking logistics transportation carbon footprint management platform accurately calculates carbon emissions based on the actual routes of transportation vehicles, providing unparalleled granularity.
Verified to encompass over 140 types of carbon emission factors for road transportation in China, SCEMP is the first of its kind in global logistics supply chain carbon management. The platform aims to facilitate efficient and cost-effective carbon reduction strategies for a multitude of companies.
In addition, JD Logistics has forged a strategic partnership with Bureau Veritas (BV), a global leader in laboratory testing, inspection, and certification services. This alliance will foster innovation in intelligent logistics, digitalization, supply chain services, and more, ultimately empowering enterprises to expedite their carbon emission reduction efforts.
SCEMP enables transparent monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) of mobile emission sources, as well as the creation of a calculation model for supply chain logistics transportation. The platform’s results adhere to ISO14064/14067, PAS standards, and governmental carbon disclosure requirements, such as those mandated by China’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment. Its robust database supports the accuracy and validity of primary data collection, effectively addressing the challenge of monitoring mobile emission sources.
The platform provides detailed insights into a company’s logistics transportation carbon emissions within specific time frames, generating graphics that illustrate the correlation between orders and emissions. It also showcases the distribution of mobile emission sources by fuel type, laying the groundwork for targeted carbon reduction initiatives. For individual orders, SCEMP displays carbon footprints based on time and location requirements.
Companies can effortlessly generate carbon emission reports and request carbon verification services with a single click. SCEMP offers comprehensive data analysis, evaluations, and various carbon accounting methods to construct a complete carbon emission analysis model, ensuring full-process management of logistics transportation MRV.
JD Logistics and BV’s partnership aspires to transform enterprises into exemplary, influential low-carbon logistics leaders on a national scale. Together, they will develop cutting-edge, user-friendly, diverse, intelligent, digital, and integrated carbon-neutral products and services, promoting industry-leading digital carbon-neutral MRV solutions for comprehensive carbon emission MRV management. Moreover, JD Logistics and BV will offer ESG support to help enterprises and industries enhance their ESG ratings.

JD Logistics and MINISO Announce Expanded Partnership to Enhance Logistics Efficiency
JD Logistics (also known as JINGDONG Logistics), a leading global logistics provider, recently announced the expansion of its partnership with MINISO, the renowned household and consumer goods retailer. This collaboration, which began in 2022 with operations in Australia, now extends to MINISO’s network in Malaysia.
JD Logistics’ robust global supply chain infrastructure includes nearly 90 bonded, direct mail, and overseas warehouses across key markets such as the United States, Germany, the Netherlands, France, the United Kingdom, Australia, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Committed to replicating its proven supply chain management expertise from China in international markets, JD Logistics provides extensive support to a broad spectrum of clients, including international enterprises and Chinese brands expanding overseas.
MINISO’s diverse product range and rapid restocking requirements, combined with its strategic store locations in bustling commercial areas, present unique logistical challenges. These include critical delivery lead times and the need for off-hours operations to ensure uninterrupted customer experiences. JD Logistics has effectively met these demands through reliable and adaptable warehousing and fulfillment service solutions.
Notably, the trust built with MINISO has led some store managers to entrust their store keys to JD Logistics’ drivers to facilitate smooth and timely deliveries. Among them is JD Logistics driver Nick Yang, responsible for delivering goods to all MINISO stores in Sydney. Yang’s daily schedule involves commuting between JD Logistics’ warehouse and approximately 10 MINISO outlets throughout the city.
Over the next three years, JD Logistics will continue to develop its comprehensive global supply chain logistics network, which integrates overseas warehouses, international transshipment hubs, local distribution networks, and transnational transportation networks.
This partnership is not only a testament to JD Logistics’ proven expertise and global operational capabilities but also underscores the commitment of both companies to foster innovation in supply chain management for retail operations worldwide.
