KLN wins accolades at the Asset ESG Corporate Awards 2022

KERRY Logistics Network (KLN) has received two accolades at The Asset ESG Corporate Awards 2022, winning the highest honour, The Asset Jade Award, and the title of the Best Sustainability Team.

KLN’s credentials in environmental, social and governance (ESG) were once again validated by The Asset Jade Award, the top-tier accolade which KLN has won for three consecutive years since the category’s debut in 2020.

KLN was commended for its comprehensive ESG policies and the consistency of its ESG performance across multiple areas, ranging from energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions to supplier codes of conduct, sustainability financing and corporate governance.

KLN was also conferred the Best Sustainability Team title in recognition of its leadership qualities in spearheading the company’s sustainability agenda by engaging with various stakeholders. William Ma, group managing director of Kerry Logistics Network, said: “We take pride in the achievements of our sustainability performance thus far and are grateful to The Asset for recognising our team’s actions and accomplishments in ESG.

“As a corporate citizen, KLN sees the importance of creating value for all and sustainability is embedded in our business strategies, decisions and practices.

“We strive to further enhance the transparency of our ESG policies and endeavours while encouraging stakeholders’ feedback for continuous improvements.”

Organised annually by the regional financial magazine The Asset since 2000, the Awards are the longest running ESG awards in Asia.

LGW welcomes four new Norse Atlantic long-haul routes

LONDON Gatwick, part of VINCI Airports’ network, is welcoming a further four new transatlantic routes from Norse Atlantic this summer – alongside two announced recently – making Gatwick the airline’s biggest base.

Alongside its existing New York route, the airline is adding services to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington DC and Boston – as well as Orlando and Fort Lauderdale, announced last week.

The new flights – spanning the USA’s east and west coasts – mean half of Norse’s fleet will be based at London Gatwick this summer.

Daily flights to New York, currently operating, will be joined by: 4 x flights a week to Orlando, from May (increasing to daily in peak summer); 3 x flights a week to Fort

Lauderdale, from May; 6 x flights a week to Washington DC, from June; daily flights to Los Angeles, from June; 3 x flights a week to San Francisco, from July; 5 x flights a week to Boston, from September.

Bjorn Tore Larsen, CEO, Norse Atlantic Airways said: “This marks an important moment for consumers as we celebrate serving more destinations to the US from London Gatwick this summer than any other airline. The addition of direct flights to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington and Boston to our already popular New York, Orlando and Fort Lauderdale/Miami services will provide greater choice and value.

“We have made a significant investment in our UK airline, based at London Gatwick Airport, and now employ over 370 colleagues at our London base.”
