On April 11, at the 2026 China ESG Gala hosted by China Media Group, China Post Group Corporation Limited (hereinafter referred to as China Post) was honored with Annual Role Model. This is the second time China Post has been granted this honor.

ESG evaluates the sustainability of corporate operations and their impact on social values from the environmental, social and governance aspects. This philosophy is increasingly becoming a universal system for assessing corporate sustainability and social responsibility.

At the gala, Chairman Liu Aili of China Post, starting with the ancient brick relief The Courier, illustrated the time-honored history of postal relay system and China Post’s original aspiration and founding mission embedded in it. He stated, no matter whether it is the relay horse that galloped over a thousand years on The Courier or the large intercontinental aircraft and the drones and unmanned vehicles China Post is employing to reach the world and cover the urban and rural postal routes today, they are all relay runners on the same track. During this iteration from horseback to tech-driven postal services, China Post has been committed to facilitating the connection of agricultural products from thousands of households to the national market, and promoting the integration of small industries in rural areas into the economic circulation.

And more than that, China Post has conducted the following ESG practices. Relying on its postal outlets and round-the-clock postal stations covering all the townships nationwide, China Post has enabled customers to have easy access to postal services just downstairs rather than go far away to find a post office, and turned the last mile into the warmest mile of delivery through its three-dimensional postal routes coordinating drone and ground transportation means. It has built a modern logistics network integrating land and air transport, covering the whole country and reaching the whole world, to help smooth the dual circulation of domestic and international markets. China Post has also driven service upgrades through technological innovations such as drones, unmanned vehicles and digital mail centers, pioneered the approach of “bamboo substituting plastics” to promote green transformation, and optimized new-energy transportation, thus consolidating the foundation for sustainable development with green and intelligent new quality productive forces.

In the future, China Post will continue to focus its efforts on promoting equal access to public services, serving rural revitalization, developing new quality productive forces and advancing the development of Green Post, thereby consistently meeting the call of the times for ESG excellence.
