[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] CJ Logistics announced on the 10th that it will participate in a panel discussion session involving the public, private, and academic sectors at the AVPN Northeast Asia Summit, the largest social innovation network in Asia, on the 11th, where it will present successful cases of realizing ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) values.

This conference is a gathering of ESG leaders and practitioners from the Northeast Asia region to share best practices and insights, and will be held online via live streaming for three days starting from that day.

The summit will feature welcoming remarks and discussion speakers including AVPN Chair and CEO Naina Subawal Batra, Wendy Cheng, Asia-Pacific Head of Moody’s Investors Service, Rebecca Mikula Wright, Director of the Asia Investor Group on Climate Change, and Eugene Chen, Chair of the Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy.

CJ Logistics’ presentation on ‘Collective Impact’ will introduce the company’s ‘CarbonZERO Solution’ as a representative case of collaboration among various stakeholders to solve social issues.

The CarbonZERO Solution is an eco-friendly ESG activity that achieves substantial carbon reduction by upcycling waste plastics generated within the supply chain through cooperation with stakeholders such as client companies and social ventures. Representative projects include producing uniforms from upcycled waste PET bottles, commercializing recycled plastic pallets, and establishing a circular logistics system for collecting single-use plastic cups.

A CJ Logistics official stated, “This conference is expected to be an opportunity to share our activities and experiences in realizing ESG values not only domestically but also with leaders active in the Northeast Asia region.”
