eMAG launches its Sustainability Report
eMAG published its Sustainability Report, highlighting its efforts to be a leading, sustainable business in Romania and the region. eMAG's sustainability approach targets three dimensions: environmental, social and economic.
A few key highlights:
- eMAG's logistics centres are accredited as sustainable buildings
- eMAG is gradually electrifying its same-day green delivery fleet and expanding the last-mile easybox network across several cities
- eMAG has adopted more environmentally friendly packaging
- Through its economic activities in 2020, eMAG contributed to the development of Romania's GDP by 0.5%, created and sustained 52,871 jobs, offered development opportunities for our partners and kept expanding our services in the region.
In October 2022, eMag and its partners, the Conservation Carpathia Foundation and GreenTech, launched the Commitment to the Environment. This first initiative aims to unite the Romanian business environment by limiting the increase in temperature to 1.5˚C above pre-industrial levels. Signatories of the Environmental Commitment benefit from such available know-how and tools that can help them calculate their carbon footprint and define a plan of concrete measures to reduce CO₂ emissions.
