Unilever and JD Logistics to explore smarter and more sustainable supply chains

Unilever and JD Logistics have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore and develop smart and sustainable business solutions in the supply chain.

The consumer goods giant will work with the logistics branch of Chinese retailer JD.com to identify innovative opportunities for greener growth - this will include digitising and modernising the 'Unilever-JD' ecosystem, including plastic recycling and collection, 5G delivery solutions and less carbon-intensive transportation initiatives.

Marc Engel, Unilever’s Chief Supply Chain Officer, said: "Today’s agreement with JD Logistics is an excellent opportunity to drive future-fit supply chain solutions around the world. At Unilever, we are always working to deliver better, more sustainable products for our consumers.

"JD Logistics’ network and technology offer exciting opportunities to enhance our consumer logistics and transportation capabilities and to deliver even greater transparency, speed and efficiency across our supply chain. Together we can leverage our collective expertise and scale to give consumers better and informed choices and drive sustainable and responsible growth."
