Lazada Group released its annual Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) Impact Report, which provides more information on the progress of the company’s commitment to leverage eCommerce as a force for good, based on four core pillars under its ESG framework that were unveiled last year.
Titled “Enriching Lives, Emerging Stronger”, the report highlights various achievements and progress of the company’s ESG efforts during the reporting period of 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023. Notably, since the introduction of a baseline carbon inventory to identify key sources of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission across Lazada’s operations in 2022, the company has reduced its overall GHG emissions by 10%, compared to the last reporting period.
“For more than a decade, Lazada has been accelerating progress in Southeast Asia through commerce and technology. With our second ESG Impact Report, I am proud to share progress that we have made and am confident that we can achieve even more together,” said Lazada Group Chief Executive Officer James Dong.
Lazada’s commitment to positively impact the local communities that it operates in is evident across all four key pillars. For example, under its future-ready workforce umbrella, Lazada highlights the company’s efforts to foster a diverse and inclusive work environment for employees. The company employs over 32 nationalities across the markets, with women making up 44% of its workforce.
The effective governance pillar underscores the company’s governance structure, which prioritizes responsible business practices, safeguarding data privacy and intellectual property rights. During the reporting period, Lazada achieved zero substantiated complaints concerning breaches of customer privacy or losses of customer data across its operations.
