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 Debatte über steigende Mieten und Wohnungsnot entwickelt sich in der Schweiz zu einem der dominierenden innenpolitischen Konfliktfelder. In der SRF-«Arena» unter dem Titel «Miet-Irrsinn» prallten Vertreterinnen und Vertreter von SP, SVP, Mitte und Grünen aufeinander – und stritten nicht nur über Zahlen und Instrumente, sondern auch über die grundsätzliche Frage, was den Druck auf dem Mietmarkt überhaupt treibt. Im Zentrum standen die Rolle der Zuwanderung, die Bautätigkeit, die Renditebegrenzung im Mietrecht sowie der Umgang mit mutmasslich überhöhten Mieten.

Die Ausgangslage ist angespannt. In der Schweiz wohnen rund 60 Prozent der Bevölkerung zur Miete. Gemäss einem Mietbarometer, das im Auftrag des Mieterinnen- und Mieterverbandes erstellt wurde, geben rund 40 Prozent der Haushalte mehr als ein Drittel ihres Einkommens für die Miete aus. Damit steigen die Wohnkosten schneller als die Reallöhne; ein immer grösserer Anteil des Budgets fliesst in die Miete. Gleichzeitig sinkt der Anteil leerstehender Wohnungen: Per 1. Juni 2025 waren landesweit weniger als 50'000 Wohnungen unvermietet – statistisch steht nur noch etwa eine von 100 Wohnungen leer. Fällt die Leerwohnungsziffer unter ein Prozent, gilt dies offiziell als Wohnungsnot; diese Schwelle ist derzeit bereits in zahlreichen Kantonen unterschritten.

SVP-Nationalrat Manfred Bühler führt den Engpass vor allem auf die Zuwanderung zurück. Die Migrationspolitik sei der «Haupttreiber für die Nachfrage», argumentierte er in der Sendung. Würde die Nettozuwanderung auf 20'000 Personen pro Jahr reduziert, liesse der Druck auf dem Mietmarkt rasch nach, so seine These. Mitte-Politikerin Tina Deplazes dagegen verweist auf ein ganzes Bündel struktureller Faktoren: Individualisierung, mehr Ein- und Zweipersonenhaushalte, ein generell gestiegener Wohnraumbedarf sowie die Alterung der Gesellschaft. Zuwanderung erhöhe zwar ebenfalls die Nachfrage und damit die Preise, es handle sich dabei aber um Personen, die auf dem Arbeitsmarkt benötigt würden.

SP-Nationalrätin Jacqueline Badran und Grünen-Nationalrat Michael Töngi legten den Fokus stärker auf die Angebots- und Regulierungsseite. Deplazes macht ein zu tiefes Bautempo für die Knappheit verantwortlich, während Töngi die mangelnde Durchsetzung des Mietrechts kritisiert und eine periodische Überprüfung der Einhaltung der gesetzlichen Vorgaben fordert. Badran wiederum sieht «illegale» Mietüberhöhungen als zentrales Problem und verweist auf den im Schweizer Mietrecht verankerten Rendite-Deckel. Nur in einer «unkontrollierten Immobilienwirtschaft» könnten Vermieter Preise nach oben durchsetzen, etwa wenn Gutverdienende aus dem Ausland ohne Weiteres 7'000 Franken für eine Vierzimmerwohnung bezahlten. Würden die Renditebegrenzungen konsequent durchgesetzt, hätte die Zuwanderung auf die Miethöhen keinen Effekt, hält sie dagegen. Die konträren Lesarten – Nachfragebremsen durch Migrationspolitik auf der einen, striktere Regulierung und mehr Bauaktivität auf der anderen Seite – zeigen, wie weit der politische Konsens bei der Suche nach Antworten auf den «Miet-Irrsinn» derzeit entfernt ist.
