KLN's credentials in environmental, social and governance ('ESG') were once again validated by The Asset Jade Award, the top-tier accolade which KLN has won for three consecutive years since the category's debut in 2020. In particular, KLN was commended for its comprehensive ESG policies and the consistency of its ESG performance across multiple areas, ranging from energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions to supplier codes of conduct, sustainability financing and corporate governance. KLN was also conferred the Best Sustainability Team title in recognition of its leadership qualities in spearheading the Company's sustainability agenda by engaging with various stakeholders.
William Ma, Group Managing Director of Kerry Logistics Network, said, "We take pride in the achievements of our sustainability performance thus far and are grateful to The Asset for recognising our team's actions and accomplishments in ESG. As a corporate citizen, KLN sees the importance of creating value for all and sustainability is embedded in our business strategies, decisions and practices. We also strive to further enhance the transparency of our ESG policies and endeavours while encouraging stakeholders' feedback for continuous improvements. We believe such dedication will future-proof our business in the post-pandemic era, contribute to the communities in which we serve and create value for our stakeholders."
Organised annually by the regional financial magazine The Asset since 2000, the Awards are the longest running ESG awards in Asia.
