JAS proudly shares its commitment to sustainable business practices through a partnership with client Vagabond Shoemakers. In an effort to minimize excess stock while contributing to charitable causes, Vagabond Shoemakers donated over 1300 pairs of shoes to Human Bridge, a non-profit organization specializing in redistributing surplus goods for humanitarian purposes.

‍
Vagabond Shoemakers, recognized for its dedication to sustainability, actively seeks to ensure that unsold footwear finds purpose beyond its original inventory. The collaboration with Human Bridge aligns with both companies' values of social responsibility and environmental stewardship.

‍
"We are so thankful, and it is just fantastic when we can go beyond our daily operations and also join our supportive actions,” said Anna Fahle Björcke, Sustainability Manager at Vagabond Shoemakers.

‍
JAS Worldwide and Vagabond Shoemakers share a close partnership, and when the opportunity arose to support Human Bridge's mission, there was no hesitation. The donated shoes will be resold through selected channels, with the generated funds earmarked for the purchase of healthcare equipment for designated countries, with a special focus on Ukraine.

‍
This initiative not only showcases the commitment of JAS Worldwide and Vagabond Shoemakers to sustainable business practices but also emphasizes their dedication to making a positive impact on communities in need. By supporting charity through the donation of shoes, these companies are demonstrating the powerful role that corporate responsibility plays in shaping a better and more equitable world.

Since the pandemic began, the pharmaceutical industry has experienced rapid growth. As the need for quality pharmaceuticals to treat diseases of all kinds continues to increase, logistics services and solutions also must keep up with the rapid pace. According to market data, China’s temperature-controlled expert increased 16 percent on a year-over-year basis between January and July 2021.  

In partnership with DoKaSch, JAS China has positioned itself to serve pharma’s expanding needs through the launch of a new successful logistic project managing airfreight temperature-controlled containers in Beijing. Thanks to the recent service expansion, JAS China can confidently provide full domestic services. Customers can request warehousing, trucking and container management, and air freight services to cover the entire pharmaceutical supply chain to benefit global consumers.  

JAS China’s pharmaceutical logistics team received training on temperature-controlled container transport with its partner company. The collaboration provides an excellent opportunity for JAS China’s team to share the new service with potential pharmaceutical customers in need, adding extra value to its customers in the future.  

In addition to the official training from its new partner, JAS China’s staff completed additional training on temperature-controlled cargo to fortify its understanding of the general process involved with transporting temperature-controlled containers. JAS China’s leadership plans to continue professional development to help the team stay abreast of industry trends for temperature-controlled container logistics.  

Pharmaceutical companies interested in learning how JAS China can meet their rapid growth needs can reach out to the team today for more information.
