KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — J&T Express Malaysia today announced a series of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives aimed at reinforcing its commitment to responsible and sustainable business practices. As one of Malaysia’s leading express delivery service providers, the company continues to implement actionable measures that contribute to a greener logistics sector and foster long-term value for communities, employees, and partners.
Environmental Sustainability in Action: Adoption of Recycled Woven Gunny Bags
In a major step toward reducing environmental impact, J&T Express Malaysia has successfully implemented the use of recycled polyethylene (PE) woven gunny bags across all warehouses and outlets in West Malaysia. Launched in March 2024 at two gateway facilities, J&T gradually expanded the initiative, and it was fully rolled out by mid-November 2024. To date, the company has deployed approximately 310,000 woven gunny bags throughout Peninsular Malaysia with Sabah and Sarawak to follow suit later.

This green initiative not only minimises plastic usage but also aligns with circular economy principles. To support the durability and extended use of the recycled bags, J&T Express Malaysia invested in industrial sewing machines. Additional technologies such as tunnel machines and RFID scanners were also introduced to facilitate integration and enhance the efficiency of parcel sorting and tracking.
Social Commitment: Empowering People and Communities
Beyond environmental efforts, J&T Express Malaysia continues to prioritise the well-being of its workforce and the communities it serves. The company maintains strong occupational health and safety standards across its facilities, invests in self-development programmes that empower our staff to enhance their skills, knowledge, and personal growth, and contributes to community-based activities through donations and disaster relief efforts. These initiatives reflect a holistic approach to building a supportive, inclusive, and people-first work culture.
Strong Governance for Sustainable Growth
Underpinning its operations is a governance framework rooted in transparency, compliance, and ethical business conduct. J&T Express Malaysia ensures strict adherence to regulatory requirements, actively safeguards data privacy and customer trust, and promotes internal accountability at all levels of the organization. These principles guide the company in delivering reliable service while upholding stakeholder confidence.
Looking Ahead
“We recognise that sustainability is not a destination, but a continuous journey,” said Jacky Hu, Public Affairs Manager of J&T Express Malaysia. “From reducing plastic waste with our woven gunny bag programme to enhancing employee welfare and governance standards, our ESG initiatives are designed to build a more resilient and responsible organisation for the future.”
While the current sustainability efforts are focused on West Malaysia, J&T Express Malaysia remains committed to exploring future initiatives in East Malaysia and across its broader network.
