GLP’s Sustainability Principles
Using Technology to Support ESG
We develop and invest in technologies that can support our businesses and our customers by creating efficiencies to save resources, time and money. The integration of various types of technologies including data analytics, robotics, automated clearance systems, digital loading docks, smart sorting, telematics, fleet management systems, and Internet of Things (IoT) are all designed to increase efficiency.

GLP’s Logistics Parks
Entrance management technologies are increasing the speed of gate traffic by 95%, increasing utilization of loading docks by up to 50% and improving overall efficiency of security operations by 25%.

G7 Fleet Management
Our G7 fleet management solutions are used by 1.5 million trucks in China, representing 90% of China’s leading trucking companies; sensors track detailed information on trucks, drivers and cargo in real time, thus enabling a real-time view of fleet operations and the flow of goods. Processes that used to be manual, such as dispatching, are now automated, allowing for much more precision and complexity, while predictive analytics and safety features mean fewer accidents.

Haina Smart Warehouse
Haina Smart Warehouse, our proprietary artificial intelligence and Internet of Things tool, uses an open source platform to help customers manage warehouse systems and operations better and can increase storage efficiency by as much as 400%, reduce labour costs by up to 50% and achieve a goods retrieval accuracy of 100%.
