JD LOGISTICS LAUNCHES SUPPLY CHAIN EMISSION MANAGEMENT PLATFORM

JD Logistics has introduced what it called the "world's first" Supply Chain Emission Management Platform (SCEMP) for the logistics industry.

 

In collaboration with the Green Supply Chain Committee of the All-China Environment Federation, the Chinese logistics company said this 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," JD said, adding that 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.

 

The partnership seeks to foster innovation in intelligent logistics, digitalization, and supply chain services, and ultimately empower enterprises to expedite their carbon emission reduction efforts.

 

In a statement, JD Logistics noted that 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.

 

It said that 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," JD added, further saying that the platform also 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, JD noted that SCEMP displays carbon footprints based on time and location requirements.

 

"JD Logistics and BV's partnership aspires to transform enterprises into exemplary, influential low-carbon logistics leaders on a national scale," the announcement further said.

 

JD Logistics and BV will also offer ESG support to help enterprises and industries enhance their ESG ratings.
