JAKARTA Lazada continues to prioritize sustainable operations to support the government in achieving net zero emissions by 2026. Lazada is also trying to implement a green economy.

In line with this commitment, Lazada has implemented solar panels in its main building in Cimanggis, Depok, West Java. The hope is that the implementation of solar panels can make Lazada a pioneer of a sustainable e-commerce logistics warehouse.

"We realize that e-commerce growth does not only provide economic opportunities, but also has an impact on the environment. Therefore, this growth needs to be balanced with efficient and sustainable logistics solutions," said Vice President Government Affairs Lazada Indonesia Budi Primawan in a press release received.

Budi added that the use of solar panels is one of the concrete steps in carrying out more efficient business operations. By supporting the principle of a green economy, this implementation can preserve the environment.

Lazada is committed to continuing to innovate and collaborate in creating an e-commerce industry that is not only inclusive and offers economic benefits to everyone in our ecosystem, but also has a positive impact on the environment," said Budi.

Installation of solar panels in the main warehouse is not the only sustainability step Lazada has taken. The company has also implemented other environmentally friendly efforts by switching from LED lights to automatic lighting systems.

In addition, Lazada also uses the Blue Vehicle electricity and bicycle-based fleet, smart routing technology and internet of things (IoT) applications to accelerate the delivery of goods, the use of environmentally friendly cardboard packages certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), and the use of recycled Kerta as a substitute for plastic.
