HONG Kong's kerry Logistics Network Limited (KLN) has won recognition for its commitment and execution on environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) by winning the 'Elite of Sustainability Performance Award' and the 'Excellence in Decarbonization Award' presented by the Ming Pao ESG Award.
Executive director and chairman of the sustainability committee of KLN, Ellis Cheng, said: 'At KLN, we have been strengthening our sustainability commitments and putting them at the heart of our strategic goals. These accolades are encouraging as they recognize our journey towards sustainability and validate our ongoing ESG efforts.
'As a global 3PL, we never shirk from our responsibility to establish a sustainable supply chain, playing our part in combatting the climate crisis as we continue to monitor our environmental footprint, and identify areas for improvement. We will continue to contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and adhere to the UN Global Compact principles, in order to put sustainable logistics into action.'
In working towards its pledge of net zero emission in 2050, KLN has recently accelerated its efforts to reduce carbon emissions, through practices such as the use of the 5.5-tonne electric truck and the pilot run of natural carbon dioxide and ammonia refrigerator, both pilot cases from a logistics operator in Hong Kong.
The award is jointly organized by Hong Kong newspaper Ming Pao and the Institute of ESG and Benchmark. A panel of judges from various sectors, the government and academia evaluates the companies' sustainability strategies, its implementation and the disclosure of its progress, in choosing individual award winners.
