Resilient value chains

“Maintaining the resilience and stability of the global industrial and supply chains is a vital guarantee for promoting the development of the world economy and serves the common interests of people globally.”Therefore, the“Resilient Value Chain” category isestablished. The actions showcase various options to innovatively enhance the resilience of value chain, providing examples for more businesses to seize opportunities brought by new technologies, adapt to the environment, innovate, reform, and build resilient industrial chains.



All-electric sharing creates a shared and win-win modular leasing service market of energy infrastructure

State Grid Suzhou Power Supply Company connects equipment suppliers, power-consuming enterprises, and other stakeholders to introduce the first domestic power equipment modular leasing service “All-Electric Sharing”, a new model. This model is centered on the modular prefabricated power equipment leasing, offering a platform for flexible, easily assembled or disassembled, safe and reliable equipment sharing services. The model also provides value-added services such as energy efficiency diagnostics and energy trust, aiming to foster a sustainable energy infrastructure leasing market and contribute to economic and social stability.




Create a responsible supply chain with new model to fight the pandemic

Leveraging its integrated supply chain based on data integration, JD Logistics actively supported the COVID-19 control and supply guarantee in various regions across the country. In 2020, it aided Wuhan; in 2021, it facilitated vaccine distribution in Beijing; and in 2022, over 5,000 delivery personnel supported Shanghai. JD Logistics was never absent in these emergencies. Through comprehensive and flexible allocation of manpower, resources, and transportation, it innovated in and optimized supply chain service models. In Shanghai, it established contactless community supply stations, while in Beijing, it introduced the “contactless delivery + volunteer service” model in the Jiuxianqiao area. These initiatives showcased the robust agility and reliability of the integrated supply chain in emergencies, empowering high-quality and sustainable development of enterprises, industries, and society.




Innovate in the rice circular economy and create a green and low-carbon industrial chain

Yihai Kerry has pioneered a circular economy model for rice production, introducing the “contract farming—deep processing—product branding—comprehensive utilization of byproducts—high-tech product research and development” cycle. A single grain of rice not only becomes high-quality branded rice but also yields valuable by-products such as lecithin, rice bran wax, and grain vitamin. Additionally, it can generate electricity, produce oil, and be used in eco-friendly tire manufacturing. The “zero-waste”refined processing ensures energy-efficient and eco-friendly processing, maximizing resource value, ensuring food security, and creating a novel rice industry model with economic, ecological, and societal benefits.


Develop the “carbon” illumination lamp with big data and smart technology: using carbon footprint to tap the potential of digital economy of electrical equipment

In response to the national carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals, State Grid Shanghai Procurement Company utilizes the value of full-chain data elements to build a green supply chain service platform for electrical equipment. This platform achieves “carbon footprint” tracking, tracing carbon emissions from the entire process, including raw material supply, manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution of the equipment. Conducting green assessments allows for the accurate identification of weaknesses and areas for improvement in corporate development. Besides, to offer green solutions, it provides targeted services encompassing “management + technology + finance” for green transformation, acting as a “carbon steward” for green transformation.



Build a risk warning platform to safeguard the industrial chain

State Grid Ruian Power Supply Company has established a solid co-construction and sharing mechanism with the government. Through real-time precise gathering of smart electricity usage, it aggregates diverse data to jointly establish an industrial chain production capacity warning platform. This effort has resulted in the development of seven government-side application scenarios and six enterprise-side application modules, boosting the quality and efficiency of the industrial chain. It assists government departments in promptly understanding the production, operation, and energy usage of enterprises, facilitating the orderly production of various links in the industrial chain, and thus effectively promoting the stable development of the local economy.


A multi-party linkage to resolve the crisis in green way

Facing the backlog of hazardous waste materials in the power industry and related issues, State Grid Xinjiang Procurement Company has introduced concepts such as stakeholder management and integration of social resources. Employing multi-stakeholder collaboration, they've established a "5+5" management model for environmentally friendly disposal of hazardous and obsolete power industry materials. This model optimizes existing workflows, fosters stakeholder engagement and ensures the entire hazardous waste materials disposal process is manageable and transparent. This achievement guarantees the safe, eco friendly, and compliant disposal of hazardous waste materials, effectively reducing resource wastage and advancing carbon neutrality.





Win-win initiative: “carbon” flow management in the distribution network supply chain

With the development of Taixing Distribution Network construction, the distribution network supply chain is continually expanding. State Grid Taixing Electric Power Supply Company adheres to green, low-carbon, and sustainable development principles. Through the whole process impact management across the entire distribution network supply chain covering government support, scientific planning, rational design, responsible procurement, high-quality construction, meticulous operation and maintenance, technical support, and waste disposal, it minimizes energy consumption and pollution at each stage. This enhances resource allocation and utilization efficiency, making a significant contribution to ecological conservation and the realization of the 30·60" Decarbonization Goal.




Green logistics helps reduce carbon emissions

In pursuit of reaching net zero emissions by 2040, Inditex persists in enhancing its value chain. Partnering with suppliers, Inditex transitions transportation equipment toward electrification. It scans available options and conducts cost analyses to select the best solutions for each case based on needs. New energy vehicles are replacing traditional fuel-powered vehicles for the final-mile store deliveries. This initiative effectively improves transportation fleets, streamlines transport processes and routes, boosts load capacity and equipment utilization rates, and diminishes the impact of operations on local communities.


Unite as one to build a resilient supply chain of power grid materials

Regarding the “Three Enhancements” (efficiency, benefits, effectiveness) as its primary goal, the company continuously strengthens multi-party collaboration with material demanders and suppliers, advancing the enhancement of CSR management. It works to build an integrated material operational model, optimize intelligent procurement strategies, deepen the reform of supply assurance system, and reinforce holistic chain management, thus speeding up the establishment of an eco-friendly digital and intelligent supply chain system. These efforts aim to further elevate efficiency, benefits, and effectiveness, enhancing the pivotal support and contributions of materials to the company and power grid development.
