Green logistics and sustainable development plan

I. Green logistics strategic goals
Dimension Core goals Metrics
Carbon emissions Achieve a 30% reduction in carbon emissions in the transport sector by 2030
Ton-kilometer CO₂ emissions
Packaging Eliminate all non-degradable packaging materials by 2025
Environmentally friendly packaging usage rate
Energy 100% renewable energy use in storage facilities
Photovoltaic power generation coverage
Circular economy Establish a full-chain packaging recycling system (recycling rate ≥ 80%)
Number of packaging cycles
II. Green logistics implementation paths

1. Low-carbon transportation plan
   (1) Optimization of transportation mode
   Traditional mode Green alternative Emission reduction effect
   Air transport Rail/sea transport + carbon offset Reduce carbon emissions by 85%
   Diesel trucks Electric trucks/hydrogen energy vehicles (pilot Beijing-Shanghai/Guangzhou-Shenzhen trunk lines) Reduce carbon emissions by 40 tons per vehicle per year
   Bulk cargo consolidation Intelligent packaging system (reduce space waste by 15%) Reduce transportation frequency by 10%
   (2) Digital dispatch
   Intelligent route planning: Use Flexport’s carbon footprint calculator to select the lowest-emission route
   Joint distribution: Share containers with industry alliances (such as Maersk’s “ECO Delivery” program)
2. Green packaging revolution
   (1) Material innovation
   Main solutions:
   Honeycomb cardboard replaces foam plastic (50% weight reduction)
   Starch-based biodegradable filler (natural decomposition in 28 days)
   Benchmark cases:
   Amazon’s “frustration-free packaging” (35% reduction in material usage)
   JD’s Qingliu box (recyclable 20 times+)
   (2) Standardization reform

3. Sustainable warehouse operations
   Transformation direction Implementation measures Investment payback period
   Rooftop photovoltaics 100,000 square meters of warehouses installed with 5MW photovoltaic systems 4-6 years (after government subsidies)
   LED lighting Completely replace the intelligent sensing lighting system 2 years
   Rainwater recycling Establish a grey water recycling system for park greening 3 years
   III. Construction of a circular economy system
4. Packaging Recycling Network
   Front-End:

Customer Incentives: 0.5 RMB per recycled packaging (scan code for traceability)

Community Outlets: Collaborate with Cainiao Express Stations to establish 5,000 recycling points

Back-End:

Automated Sorting Center (AI-Powered Material Type Identification)

Closed-Loop Processing: Damaged packaging is recycled into logistics pallets

2. Used Logistics Equipment Market
   Trading Platform:

Forklift/Pallet/Container Rental and Refurbishment Services

Blockchain Records Carbon Emissions Throughout the Equipment Lifecycle

IV. Carbon Asset Management

1. Carbon Footprint Calculation
   Recommended Tools:

EcoTransIT World (Transport Calculation)

SAP Product Carbon Footprint Analytics

Disclosure Standards:

Emissions Report Prepared in Accordance with GRI 305

2. Path to Carbon Neutrality

VI. Implementation Phase Plan

Phase
Key Tasks
Time Window

Pilot Verification: DC conversion in three regions + trial operation of electric trucks
Q1-Q2 2024

Scale-up: 50% of warehouses nationwide covered by photovoltaics + standardized packaging standards
Q2 2025-2026

Deep Decarbonization: Carbon neutral certification for the entire supply chain
Q2 2028-2030

VII. Cost-Benefit Analysis

Project
Initial Investment
Annualized Return
Emission Reductions

Electric Trucks
¥3 million
Fuel Savings
¥800,000/year
200 tons of CO₂/year

Smart Packaging
¥1.5 million
Material Cost Reduction
¥600,000/year
Reduced Wood Consumption by 300m³

PV Warehouses
¥20 million
Electricity Bill Savings + Green Electricity Subsidy
¥4.5 million/year 1,500 tons of CO₂/year
Note: Combined with carbon trading revenue (current carbon price is approximately 60 yuan/ton), the overall payback period can be shortened by 20%.

VIII. Risk Management
Technological Risk:

Reserve 10% of the budget for the iteration of new technologies such as hydrogen energy.

Policy Risk:

Establish an EU CBAM (Carbon Border Tax) response team.

Market Risk:

Transfer some costs through a green premium (+3-5% pricing).

IX. Industry Certification Acquisition Plan
2024: ISO 14064-1 carbon emissions verification

2025: EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) certification

2026: Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) certification

X. Execution Assurance
Organizational Structure: Establish an ESG committee reporting directly to the CEO.

Digital Foundation: Deploy the IBM Envizi ESG management system.

Employee Incentives: Incorporate carbon reduction targets into KPIs (weighting ≥ 15%).

Through this solution, companies can achieve a 40% reduction in logistics carbon intensity within three years, while simultaneously achieving the following benefits:
✅ Complies with the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)
✅ Listed on the green supplier lists of international brands such as Apple and Amazon
✅ Receive financial subsidies under China’s “Dual Carbon” policy (up to 3 million yuan/year)
