HONG KONG, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- J&T Global Express Limited ("J&T Express" or "J&T" or "the Company", stock code: 01519), a global logistics service provider, today released its 2025 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report. The report comprehensively presents the Company's latest practices and achievements in intelligent operations, energy management, employee rights protection, talent development, business ethics management, and social welfare, demonstrating its firm commitment to integrating sustainable development concepts into its global logistics network and continuously promoting high-quality development.

Deepening Green Operations and Continuously Promoting Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction

Over the past year, J&T Express has continued to advance smart logistics and energy transition, utilizing technologies such as AI and big data throughout the entire process of pickup, sorting, line-haul transportation, and delivery to optimize transportation routes, improve transit and sorting efficiency, and enhance last-mile delivery capabilities. In terms of transit, by the end of 2025, J&T Express had put into operation a total of 14 self-built core logistics parks globally, with a total gross floor area of 1.05 million square meters. In addition, the Company has invested heavily in energy-saving logistics equipment, deploying over 150,000 permanent magnet synchronous motorized rollers and more than 400 energy-saving conveyor belts. In terms of last-mile transportation, J&T Express is accelerating the construction of an autonomous vehicle delivery network, with the number of autonomous vehicles put into operation exceeding 1,000 by the end of 2025, leveraging intelligent algorithms to achieve optimal route planning and improve last-mile delivery efficiency. In terms of green packaging, the cumulative deployment of reusable transit bags globally reached approximately 38.27 million, with cumulative usage reaching approximately 3.33 billion times.

In terms of low-carbon transportation, J&T Express has continuously promoted the use of clean and electric transportation vehicles. In China, the Company had been investing in new LNG tractors in 2025, bringing the total to 1,697, accounting for 30% of the total number of self-owned tractors, with the greenhouse gas emission intensity of self-owned line-haul vehicles decreasing by 6% compared to 2024. The Philippines took the lead in achieving 100% use of B5 biodiesel for vehicle transportation; Singapore introduced electric trucks, accounting for 6% of its total truck fleet. At the same time, the Company promoted the coordinated development of green transportation methods such as railway and maritime transport, further optimizing the transportation structure and improving efficiency.

Strengthening Employee Care and Safeguarding Rights and Growth

J&T Express continues to create an open, inclusive, and equal-opportunity work environment, improving its employee care system around career growth, health management, and employee welfare and care. In China, the 2025 J&T Express Co., Ltd. (Entire Network) Platform Algorithm and Labor Rules Agreement was implemented in Shanghai last July, becoming the first network-wide algorithm negotiation agreement in China's express delivery industry. It covers over 290,000 workers in J&T Express's self-operated and franchise outlets across provinces and regions in Chinese Mainland. Focusing on three major issues: salary protection, career development, and algorithm transparency, it further improves the rights protection mechanism for workers in new forms of employment.

In terms of talent development, J&T Express systematically advanced the construction of a multi-level talent training system around four strategic directions: "building channels, supplying talent, strengthening overseas presence, and solidifying foundations." In 2025, the total number of courses on the digital training and knowledge management platform for global employees increased by 60% year-over-year (YoY), and total training hours increased by 2.8 times YoY. In addition, during the reporting period, the Company organized and participated in various safety training sessions globally over 27,000 times, covering over 1.4 million participants, continuously consolidating its safety culture and employee protection foundation.

Fulfilling Social Responsibilities and Supporting Local Community Development

J&T Express continued to carry out social welfare actions in areas such as rural revitalization, educational public welfare, and post-disaster assistance. In Chongqing, China, the Company introduced drones for the first time to collect and transport navel oranges in mountainous areas, with a single drone providing a daily transport capacity of up to 10,000 kilograms, effectively reducing labor costs for fruit farmers. In Thailand, the Company partnered with the Department of Agricultural Extension to launch fresh fruit logistics services, facilitating the efficient circulation of agricultural products.

In terms of emergency disaster relief, the Company's teams in various countries continued to participate in disaster assistance efforts. Following the fire in Tai Po, Hong Kong, J&T Express swiftly initiated a special donation of HK$10 million and delivered 300 sets of daily necessities to temporary shelters. After the floods in Indonesia, the Company's Indonesian headquarters chartered flights to transport 13 tons of supplies to severely affected areas, supporting the affected population in restoring their livelihoods.

Improving Business Ethics and Building a Solid Global Compliance Bottom Line

In terms of business ethics and compliance management, J&T Express continued to improve its global governance system, which is coordinated by the Group headquarters and executed locally by subsidiaries, covering multiple dimensions such as anti-corruption, fair competition, and supply chain compliance. During the reporting period, the Company conducted special training on anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing, and anti-corruption for directors and senior management, achieving a 100% coverage rate. It also carried out integrity education and training, covering over 89,000 participants cumulatively, and extended compliance requirements to the supply chain system, further solidifying the foundation for global operations.

Dylan Tey, Chief Financial Officer of J&T Express, stated: "Within J&T's rapidly developing global logistics network, ESG has evolved from a concept into concrete operational capabilities. Over the past year, we have proactively explored green transportation transformation and the governance of new forms of employment, including advancing diversified low-carbon transportation solutions and establishing one of the industry's first algorithm negotiation mechanisms. These relevant practices have received multiple industry recognitions. Looking ahead, J&T will continue to leverage technology to empower operations and let responsibility drive growth, continuously improving our ESG governance system and the quality of information disclosure to create long-term value for key stakeholders including global customers, employees, and communities."

Die Bundesregierung will mit einer befristeten Senkung der Energiesteuer auf Benzin und Diesel die rasant gestiegenen Spritpreise dämpfen. Für zwei Monate soll die Steuer um rund 17 Cent pro Liter sinken, kündigte Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz in Berlin an. Die Maßnahme solle die Lage für Autofahrer und Unternehmen „sehr schnell“ verbessern, sagte Merz nach Beratungen der Koalitionsspitzen.

Die Koalition aus Union und SPD versteht die Steuersenkung als Teil eines größeren Entlastungs- und Reformpakets. Vereinbart wurden zudem Reformen der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung sowie eine Steuerreform für untere und mittlere Einkommen zum 1. Januar 2027. Nach Angaben aus Regierungskreisen sollen Verbraucher und Wirtschaft bei den Kraftstoffpreisen insgesamt um rund 1,6 Milliarden Euro entlastet werden. Zugleich betonten Merz und weitere Kabinettsmitglieder, die Maßnahme sei bewusst zeitlich begrenzt, weil der Staat nicht sämtliche Risiken und Unsicherheiten dauerhaft abfedern könne.

Zur Gegenfinanzierung der Mindereinnahmen bei der Energiesteuer ist eine Anhebung der Tabaksteuer noch im Jahr 2026 vorgesehen. Zusätzlich will die Koalition es Arbeitgebern im selben Jahr ermöglichen, eine steuer- und abgabenfreie Entlastungsprämie von 1.000 Euro an Beschäftigte auszuzahlen. Die Bundesregierung erwartet von der Mineralölwirtschaft, dass diese die Steuersenkung „direkt und ohne Einschränkungen“ an die Verbraucher weitergibt. Parallel dazu begrüßt Berlin, dass die EU-Kommission mögliche Maßnahmen gegenüber der Mineralölbranche analog zum Energiekrisenbeitrag 2022 prüft; im Raum steht unter anderem eine Übergewinnsteuer.

Als Hauptgrund für die gestiegenen Energiepreise nannte Merz den Krieg zwischen den USA und dem Iran. Laut Kanzler waren Verhandlungen über einen Waffenstillstand am Wochenende abgebrochen worden. Der US-Präsident habe zudem eine Blockade der Straße von Hormus angekündigt, woraufhin der Ölpreis wieder auf über 100 Dollar pro Barrel gestiegen sei. Dieser Konflikt sei die eigentliche Ursache für die Probleme, die Deutschland spüre, sagte Merz. Er und Außenminister Johann Wadephul arbeiteten nach eigenen Angaben daran, auf ein Ende der Kampfhandlungen hinzuwirken. Merz bezeichnete das aktuelle Paket als Auftakt weiterer Beratungen mit dem Ziel, den Staat „moderner und gerechter“ zu machen und das Vertrauen der Bürger in die Funktionsfähigkeit des Landes zu stärken.
