CJ Logistics has enhanced its sustainability management framework to proactively address the expansion of ESG and climate-related disclosure requirements. The 2025 Sustainability Report focused on six material issues: climate change response, customer satisfaction, labor practices, supply chain sustainability, safety and health management, and ethical management.

According to the company on July 6, the report places heavy emphasis on reinforcing its information management system to align with global standards in anticipation of broader ESG and climate disclosure mandates. It also focuses on upgrading data reliability and information transparency across environmental, social, and governance domains. Key developments include bolstering its management foundations through enhanced climate risk management, eco-friendly business performance tracking, and the refinement of its board of directors operation system.

To prepare for expanding climate-related disclosures, the company extended its climate change risk analysis from its existing U.S. operations to major overseas hubs, including India, Vietnam, and Malaysia. It evaluated physical risks stemming from climate disasters such as droughts, floods, and cold waves, alongside transition risks including tightening carbon regulations and the adoption of low-carbon technologies, while reviewing the financial impacts across asset types and business segments.

The environmental data management framework was also streamlined. Built upon the Korea Green Taxonomy (K-Taxonomy), a management system for eco-friendly revenue was established to objectively monitor achievements in green sectors such as eco-friendly packaging and liquefied hydrogen transportation. CJ Logistics also put ESG management into action through its resource circulation initiative, collecting and transporting 245 tons of waste materials, which earned the company a commendation from the Minister of Environment.

Governance frameworks were strengthened as well. This year, the company introduced its first-ever board evaluation system comprising nine criteria, including board composition, operations, roles, and responsibilities, with plans to consistently elevate operational effectiveness and transparency through annual assessments. Furthermore, it established responsible AI governance aligned with its digital transformation by instituting AI utilization guidelines that outline ethical standards and management principles following the increased use of AI.

"This report focuses on strengthening our data management systems and the reliability of information disclosure in accordance with global ESG mandates," an official from CJ Logistics stated. "We will continue to take the lead in building a sustainable logistics ecosystem rooted in climate change action, eco-friendly logistics, and accountable governance."
