Why Sustainability Matters to YCH

As a leading logistics and supply chain solutions company in Asia Pacific, YCH recognises both the responsibility and opportunity to inspire positive change across all three pillars of sustainability through environmental stewardship, advocating for social progress, and strong corporate governance.

 

The logistics and supply chain sector is one of the largest contributors to the world’s most pressing environmental and social issues. Processes powered by advanced technology and digital systems are energy-intensive; transport fleets running on fossil fuels are emissions-intensive; and the industry as a whole is resource-intensive, drawing on vast amounts of materials for infrastructure, consuming significant natural resources to produce warehouse packaging, and generating substantial waste in daily operations.

 

Sustainability is not a new direction for YCH, but a natural extension of how we have always operated. Our decisions have been guided by the pursuit of long-term, resilient growth and are now further shaped by our clear sustainability vision.

From Aspirations to Action

Our Sustainability
Strategy

Our sustainability vision is to inspire positive change across all three pillars of sustainability, environmental, social, and governance, through environmental stewardship, advocacy for social progress, and strong corporate governance. By championing sustainability both within and beyond YCH, we seek to stay financially viable and create shared value for our people, our supply chain partners, and the communities we serve, today and for generations to come.

 

We measure sustainability success through a triple bottom line approach: People, Planet, and Profit.
