According to Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation, on March 21, the launch ceremony of Nike China Zero Carbon Smart Logistics Park and the high-end dialogue on sustainable development of enterprises were held at the Nike China Logistics Center in Taicang City, Jiangsu Province. Nike announced the official launch of the Nike China Logistics Center wind power generation project and the fully automated unmanned warehouse project. The logistics park has achieved 100% use of renewable energy power, while the storage system has achieved a high degree of intelligence. The completion of two major projects marks the comprehensive transformation and upgrading of Nike China's logistics center, becoming China's first "landscape integrated" zero carbon smart logistics park.

Tang Xiaodong, member of the Standing Committee and Vice Mayor of Suzhou Municipal Committee, Wang Xiangyuan, Secretary of Taicang Municipal Committee, Dong Wei, Nike Global Vice President and General Manager of Nike Greater China, Wang Shi, Chairman of Biosphere 3 and Honorary Chairman of the Board of Directors of Vanke Group, Sun Jie, Chief Sustainable Development Officer of Vision Technology Group, and Chang Yuan, Vice President of Operation and Logistics of Nike Greater China, and other guests attended the event, Liu Meng, General Representative for the Asia Pacific Region of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), delivered a speech via video.

Nike is increasing investment in the Chinese market to build a more intelligent, flexible, efficient, and sustainable supply chain system, further improving logistics and operational efficiency, Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation reported.

Dong Wei said, "We have full confidence in the future development of the Chinese market. Green development and digitization are important strategic directions for Nike in the Chinese market. The launch of the Zero Carbon Smart Logistics Park is an important milestone for Nike's development in China. With the acceleration of the 'Zero Carbon' and digital transformation process, Nike will better and faster serve consumers, achieve comprehensive connectivity and long-term business growth in the 'Integrated Market'."

Tang Xiaodong said at the launch ceremony: "Nike has always adhered to the concept of sustainable development, constantly exploring transformation and upgrading paths, and actively fulfilling its social responsibility of green and low-carbon development. It has successively arranged numerous projects with Nike China Logistics Center as the core and extending outward, making positive contributions to the high-quality development of Suzhou's economy and society. In recent years, Nike has continuously increased investment, continuously improving production efficiency, optimizing management services, and providing services for foreign-funded enterprises." "China has made a good demonstration effect by continuously deepening its efforts to help China achieve the dual carbon goal."

Wang Xiangyuan said at the launch ceremony: "Enterprises are the cornerstone of economic development and the key subject of green and low-carbon development. As a leading enterprise in Taicang's modern material trade industry, Nike has maintained a strong development trend and made outstanding contributions to Taicang's economic and social development over the past 20 years. Today, the official launch of the Nike China Zero Carbon Intelligent Logistics Park is not only a milestone for Nike towards its goal of 'net zero', but also a milestone for Taicang to build a green industrial system." 'Benchmarking demonstration' of. "I hope Nike will take the launch of the logistics park as an opportunity to comprehensively optimize the intelligent, green, and efficient logistics model, providing experience samples for China and even the world."

In her speech, Liu Meng, General Representative of the United Nations Global Compact Organization (UNGC) for Asia Pacific, stated: "I am pleased to see that Nike and Vision Group, two members of the United Nations Global Compact, have worked closely together to create a zero carbon logistics industrial park in China in the face of the pressing global climate challenge through close cooperation and contacts. The efforts of American and Chinese companies to build a zero carbon logistics industrial park in China can be said to be appreciated by each of us, proving to the world the necessity and importance of cooperation between Chinese and American enterprises."

Accelerate environmental innovation to achieve 100% renewable energy coverage

According to Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation, this distributed wind power project is jointly built by Nike and "Zero Carbon Technology Partner" Vision Technology Group, providing approximately 14 million kWh of annual power generation through two wind turbines with a single unit capacity of 3MW. With the launch of the project, 70% of the energy in the Nike China Logistics Center comes directly from distributed wind power, distributed photovoltaic, and energy storage in the logistics park. Based on the optimization of the intelligent IoT operating system, 30% of the energy enters the grid cycle, achieving 100% renewable energy coverage.

Actively responding to the national "dual carbon" policy, Nike China Logistics Center has moved from "near zero carbon" to "net zero carbon", which will accelerate the realization of the Nike Group's goal of "100% use of renewable energy power in its own and proprietary facilities by 2025", and help Nike continuously reduce environmental impact while developing its business, truly achieving high-quality green development.

Fully automatic unmanned warehouse, creating an efficient service system in the digital era

"Nike Fully Automated Unmanned Warehouse" covers an area of about 12000 square meters and is 44 meters high. It is the largest fully automated unmanned warehouse in Asia with the largest single storage capacity. The unmanned warehouse has 1 million storage locations, which can accommodate 7-12 million items. The number of storage locations per unit area is five times that of traditional shelves. With digital fully automated access support, the unmanned warehouse can handle up to 20000 consumer orders per hour.

With the booming digital economy in China, a highly intelligent supply chain system will help Nike accelerate its digital transformation. "Nike Fully Automated Unmanned Warehouse" achieves highly intelligent automation and light out operations, greatly improving the efficiency and resilience of the supply chain, better meeting consumers' higher requirements for the processing speed of e-commerce orders, and improving their ability to cope with unexpected situations and e-commerce peak periods, maintaining stable service levels in times such as Double 11 and 618.

With the launch of the wind power generation project, the fully automated unmanned warehouse will also provide consumers with intelligent order processing driven by 100% green electricity, achieve end-to-end supply chain carbon emissions reduction, and meet consumers' higher demand for green environmental protection.
