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.
We are also placing a heightened focus on reducing our embodied carbon from our development projects. To address this, we have developed a proprietary Life Cycle Assessment Guidebook, supplemented by an international data set of more than 50 GLP logistics assets, that provides a standardized framework to measure potential greenhouse gas emissions from our new developments across the globe.

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%.
