Sustainability is core to our business and embedded in our operations.

Our Approach

We are committed to a broad range of environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) commitments that elevate our business, create value for our stakeholders, support our employees and customers, and show respect to the local communities in which we work.

Our policy and initiatives are designed to support our progress in developing ESG commitments and further integrating sustainability into our business decisions. 

We are committed to making sustainability a core component of its business in order to build a better future and focus on improving efficiency through the use and integration of data and technology. As a result, we are able to reduce consumption, better manage assets and invest capital more efficiently, which in turn generates better returns, reduces costs and supports our global employees.

GLP’s Sustainability Principles

Build Businesses Responsibly

 

At GLP, building businesses responsibly means embedding ESG into our decision-making, development and operations. This helps us to identify and eliminate ESG risks and means that:

We understand and identify how GLP’s activities can impact material ESG factors and how these can affect our reputation, value and stakeholders;

We focus on how we can best support our workforce, whether it is our own employees or contractors and suppliers; and

We recognize how we can work with the communities where we operate businesses and enhance our presence through economic development, limiting our environmental impact and seeking a community’s license to operate.

Develop and Manage Sustainable Assets

We consider material ESG factors during development and operations. Our teams are empowered to prioritise, act, track and monitor the sustainability performance of our businesses and operations and collaborate with our workforce, partners and communities.

Improve Efficiency and Enhance Value

 

As a global business builder, GLP’s mission is to build sustainable businesses while providing exceptional operational services that enhance value. We focus on enhancing value through asset management, effective operations and improving efficiency of our business and assets through the integration of technology and innovation including data analytics, robotics, automated clearance systems, digital loading docks, smart sorting, telematics, energy-efficient fleet management systems, Internet of Things, resource conservation and renewable energy. To provide our global customers with increased opportunities to enhance their sustainability endeavours, GLP focuses on sustainability initiatives that increase resource conservation, leverage climate action, improve health and well-being and support local communities.

Govern Ethically and Transparently

GLP is committed to maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance to enhance corporate performance and accountability. To demonstrate its commitment, GLP has established well-defined policies and processes to protect its stakeholders’ interests. Our leadership team also recognizes the importance of strong corporate governance and is dedicated to maintaining the high standards of accountability that are woven into GLP’s business.

We continually review and refine our processes in light of evolving best practices, consistent with the needs and circumstances of the group.

We maintain a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption and require all management and employees to comply with our Code of Business Conduct at all times and provide annual certification.

Promote Well-being

We aim to incorporate health and well-being throughout our organization and assets in support of our employees, customers and the communities in which we work. By focusing on promoting well-being we believe we can enhance an individual’s livelihood, increase motivation and productivity as well as bring communities together.

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.

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.
