JD.com, Inc., “China’s leading technology driven e-commerce company
and retail infrastructure service provider”, online or offline, has
issued a new corporate social responsibility report, highlighting
its commitment to global sustainability and dedication to giving

The CSR report outlines JD’s accomplishments since 2013,

community and environment.
Projects such as the Green Stream Initiative and Recycling
Program have reduced waste and emissions, as well as promoted
sustainable consumption concepts to consumers to adopt in their
daily lives. Additionally, JD’s unique
“giving platform” leverages the company’s advanced technology and
self-built inventory and logistics networks to provide a secure way
to link consumers with organizations in need of supplies, speeding
delivery of donated goods to their intended recipients and making
them trackable at every point. Projects such as these enable JD to
engage its stakeholders, including suppliers and customers, to
increase transparency and efficiency in philanthropy in China and
beyond.
“As China’s largest retailer, we recognize that our influence
extends far beyond our network of more than 300 million active
customers,” said Richard Liu, JD.com founder and CEO.
“We have a responsibility to conduct our business in a manner
that will have a positive influence. That is why we will continue
to share our know-how and resources, continuously seeking
innovative ways to improve society where our employees, customers,
and partners live and work.”
