KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- J&T Express Malaysia today announced a series of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives aimed at reinforcing its commitment to responsible and sustainable business practices. As one of Malaysia's leading express delivery service providers, the company continues to implement actionable measures that contribute to a greener logistics sector and foster long-term value for communities, employees, and partners.
Environmental Sustainability in Action: Adoption of Recycled Woven Gunny Bags
In a major step toward reducing environmental impact, J&T Express Malaysia has successfully implemented the use of recycled polyethylene (PE) woven gunny bags across all warehouses and outlets in West Malaysia. Launched in March 2024 at two gateway facilities, J&T gradually expanded the initiative, and it was fully rolled out by mid-November 2024. To date, the company has deployed approximately 310,000 woven gunny bags throughout Peninsular Malaysia with Sabah and Sarawak to follow suit later.
This green initiative not only minimises plastic usage but also aligns with circular economy principles. To support the durability and extended use of the recycled bags, J&T Express Malaysia invested in industrial sewing machines. Additional technologies such as tunnel machines and RFID scanners were also introduced to facilitate integration and enhance the efficiency of parcel sorting and tracking.
Social Commitment: Empowering People and Communities
Beyond environmental efforts, J&T Express Malaysia continues to prioritise the well-being of its workforce and the communities it serves. The company maintains strong occupational health and safety standards across its facilities, invests in self-development programmes that empower our staff to enhance their skills, knowledge, and personal growth, and contributes to community-based activities through donations and disaster relief efforts. These initiatives reflect a holistic approach to building a supportive, inclusive, and people-first work culture.
Strong Governance for Sustainable Growth
Underpinning its operations is a governance framework rooted in transparency, compliance, and ethical business conduct. J&T Express Malaysia ensures strict adherence to regulatory requirements, actively safeguards data privacy and customer trust, and promotes internal accountability at all levels of the organization. These principles guide the company in delivering reliable service while upholding stakeholder confidence.
Looking Ahead
"We recognise that sustainability is not a destination, but a continuous journey," said Jacky Hu, Public Affairs Manager of J&T Express Malaysia. "From reducing plastic waste with our woven gunny bag programme to enhancing employee welfare and governance standards, our ESG initiatives are designed to build a more resilient and responsible organisation for the future."
While the current sustainability efforts are focused on West Malaysia, J&T Express Malaysia remains committed to exploring future initiatives in East Malaysia and across its broader network.

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital travel platform Agoda reveals that Vietnam is becoming an increasingly popular year-end travel choice for families in the region and beyond. Based on searches made between September and November 2025 for stays during December 2025 and January 2026, Agoda recorded a 30% increase in family travel interest to Vietnam compared with the same period the previous year.
Agoda data shows that Vietnam is attracting more international families than ever this winter holiday season. South Koreans take the lead as the top market interested in traveling to Vietnam in December and January, with families from India, Singapore, Australia, and Malaysia rounding out the top five. Notably, Agoda reported that Indian families showcased the highest growth in travel interest to Vietnam during this period, with a 186% increase in searches. Malaysians also, are expressing strong growth in interest, with a 74% increase in searches, highlighting Vietnam's appeal as a family destination in Southeast Asia and beyond.
Families are choosing Vietnam for its storied culture and cuisine, diverse landscapes, and abundance of family-friendly resorts and attractions.
Phu Quoc Island leads as the most sought-after destination among international family travelers with a 47% increase in searches, popular for its sandy beaches, calm waters, and nature parks ideal for multi-generation vacations. Da Nang follows with 42% growth in travel interest, noted for its beaches, soft adventure activities, and access to Ba Na Hills theme park. Nha Trang comes in third place, remaining a favorite for its long coastline, family-oriented resorts, and island experiences. In fourth place, Ho Chi Minh City appeals with its vibrant food scene, entertainment complexes, and day trips to the Mekong Delta. In the north, Hanoi continues to draw families with its cultural landmarks, museums, and festive atmosphere, rounding out the top five most family-friendly year-end destinations in Vietnam.
Meanwhile, although Vietnamese families traditionally travel less internationally at the end of the year – typically preferring to wait for the Lunar New Year - China is becoming a noticeable exception. Among the top 20 outbound destinations preferred by Vietnamese families during the December-January period, searches for Shanghai increased 58%, while Beijing increased 59%. This shift is supported by the launch of new direct routes between Hanoi and selected Chinese cities earlier this year, making end-of-year overseas trips more accessible than ever.
Vu Ngoc Lam, Country Director at Agoda, said: "It is wonderful to see Vietnam increasingly chosen as an end-of-year holiday destination for families from across Asia and beyond. Agoda's data shows that travelers are recognizing Vietnam's family-friendly appeal, which further strengthen its position on the global travel map. As more families plan their festive-season or year-end getaways, we are delighted to support them through Agoda's simple, intuitive platform and our wide range of stays, flights, and activities."
With over 6 million properties, 130,000 flight routes, and 300,000 activities, all bookable in one seamless itinerary, Agoda helps families plan memorable year-end holidays, whether they choose a peaceful beach break, a cultural city escape, or an international exploration to mark the close of the year.
