KLN Receives Best Initiative in Environmental Responsibility Award

Kerry Logistics Network Limited (‘Kerry Logistics Network’, ‘KLN’; Stock Code 0636.HK) is honoured to be recognised for its sustainability achievements by receiving the Platinum Award from The Asset ESG Corporate Awards 2024 (the ‘Awards’), presented in Singapore last night.

During the event, KLN also won the accolade of Best Initiative in Environmental Responsibility for the first time and was named the Best Sustainability Team for the third consecutive year.

KLN has been making significant progress towards achieving sustainability. For example, in its warehouse operations, KLN officially began using refrigerants at one of the cold storage facilities in Hong Kong with an environmentally friendly mixture of natural gases in 2023, which earned it the Best Initiative in Environmental Responsibility at the Awards.

Ellis Cheng, Executive Director and Chairman of the Sustainability Committee at Kerry Logistics Network, said, “We are delighted with the accolades conferred by the Awards, which serve as affirmation and encouragement for our ongoing programmes to drive transformation towards a more sustainable logistics industry. Apart from taking major strides towards achieving our net zero target by 2050, our Sustainability Action Teams have further developed a relevant plan to work collaboratively with business partners and other key stakeholders towards our collective decarbonisation and net zero goals. We will continue to advance our strategy of pursuing responsible growth by implementing sustainable logistics solutions as we strive to create long-lasting value for our stakeholders.”

Celebrating its 25th edition this year, the Awards are organised annually by the regional financial magazine The Asset since 2000, making the programme the longest running ESG awards in Asia.
