Continuously promote full-process green upgrades, Xiyin's logistics carbon reduction will exceed 600k tons by 2025.

SHEIN’s green carbon-reduction initiatives in logistics and transportation have received review and certification by third-party authoritative institutions. Recently, Bureau Veritas, a globally well-known third-party testing, inspection, and certification organization, issued SHEIN a “Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Verification Opinion Letter.” Based on the international greenhouse gas management standards ISO 14064-2:2019 and ISO 14064-3:2019, the Bureau Veritas Group independently verified the carbon emissions reduction data for 13 logistics and transportation carbon-reduction projects implemented by SHEIN in 2025, including by land, air, and sea freight, as well as the data-related data collection, analysis, and calculation systems and processes. According to the calculations based on the verification data, SHEIN achieved annual carbon emissions reductions of over 600k tons in the logistics and transportation segment throughout 2025.

As a global leading online retailer of fashion and lifestyle, SHEIN leverages technological innovation to continuously drive digital upgrading across the industry, and actively promotes green carbon reductions across the full lifecycle of products and the entire value chain. Its flexible supply chain model of “small orders, fast turnaround” on-demand production helps the traditional apparel industry effectively address the problem of “high inventory” at the source. In the transportation and distribution segment, SHEIN continuously reduces carbon emissions during logistics by optimizing its global logistics network and route planning, improving loading rates and packaging efficiency, adopting low-emission transportation methods, and other innovative measures, further promoting sustainable development.

In the land transportation segment, SHEIN’s carbon-reduction measures implemented in domestic cargo transportation between warehouses, as well as shipments from warehouses to airports, have shown remarkable results. In addition to improving fuel efficiency, in 2025 SHEIN officially put into operation hundreds of new energy electric vehicles to replace traditional diesel trucks. These 9.6-meter box-type new energy trucks were jointly developed by SHEIN and partners including Sinotruk, Dongfeng, and CATL. It is expected that in 2026 it will further expand the application scale of new energy vehicles. In addition, SHEIN also reduces the use of paper pallets in first-leg transportation by optimizing operating procedures, thereby lowering carbon emissions generated by paper pallets during production, transportation, and recycling and disposal.

In the air transportation segment, SHEIN reduces carbon emissions by continuously optimizing air freight routes and effectively shortening flight distances. Meanwhile, through a series of measures—including optimizing the dimensions of shipping cardboard boxes, replacing some cardboard box packaging with lighter burlap sacks, developing a new type of high panel frame capable of loading burlap sacks, adding exhaust vents to packaging bags, and reducing the weight of air-freight packaging consumables through a “slimming” design—SHEIN improves single-load capacity and transportation efficiency, reduces the frequency of flights, and thereby reduces corresponding carbon emissions.

The implementation of these measures is inseparable from extensive experimentation, simulations, and real-world validation by professional teams, to ensure that while improving transportation efficiency, they also improve resource utilization efficiency and support sustainable development. At present, SHEIN’s 2050 net-zero emissions climate target has been certified to the SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) net-zero standards. In the effort to reduce carbon emissions across the entire value chain, Scope 3 (i.e., indirect emissions across the value chain, mainly including emissions from purchased goods and services, fuel and energy-related activities, transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, etc.) is particularly complex and critical. In response to this challenge, SHEIN focuses the emphasis of its Scope 3 carbon reductions on two categories: purchased products and services, and transportation and distribution.

In addition, in 2026, SHEIN will work with partners to actively promote and explore scaled, industry-wide adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). It has also recently achieved two new developments: on the one hand, SHEIN signed an agreement with DHL, a global leading logistics company. Through DHL’s “GoGreen Plus” service, it further supports the use of sustainable aviation fuel in its air cargo transportation. On the other hand, the “Spark Program,” China’s first end-to-end commercial demonstration project for sustainable aviation fuel, in which companies including SHEIN and airlines such as China National Aviation Fuel Co., Ltd. (CNAF) participate together, has also officially been launched.
