Every year, Golden Week marks one of China’s most significant national holidays. In 2025, the holiday will run from October 1–8, and during this time, most factories, government offices, and many businesses will close or operate at reduced capacity.
 Golden Week in China: Plan Ahead for Smooth Shipments 

Every year, Golden Week marks one of China’s most significant national holidays. In 2025, the holiday will run from October 1–8, and during this time, most factories, government offices, and many businesses will close or operate at reduced capacity. While this week-long celebration is important for millions in China, it can create challenges for global supply chains if businesses don’t plan ahead. 

What Is Golden Week? 

Golden Week celebrates China’s National Day and typically involves an extended public holiday for workers across the region. For the logistics industry, it means a temporary slowdown in manufacturing and transportation as employees take time off. 

How Does Golden Week Impact Supply Chains? 

The impact of Golden Week goes beyond the week itself. Here’s what companies can expect: 

  • Production Delays: Many factories close or significantly reduce output. 
  • Carrier Capacity Shortages: Air and ocean carriers often experience a surge in demand before and after the holiday. 
  • Port Congestion: Terminals, warehouses, and trucking companies see backlogs as shipments pile up. 
  • Longer Transit Times: Increased demand and limited capacity can affect schedules globally. 

How to Prepare for Golden Week 

Proactive planning is key to minimizing disruptions. Here are three practical steps: 

  1. Book Shipments Early: Secure your transportation well in advance to avoid last-minute capacity issues. 
  2. Communicate Forecasts Clearly: Share your supply chain forecasts with logistics partners to help align resources. 
  3. Allow Extra Lead Time: Build flexibility into your timelines to accommodate potential delays. 

Don’t let Golden Week catch you off guard. Start planning today to keep your goods moving and your supply chain strong. 

JAS’s Science-Based Climate Targets Validated by the SBTi
JAS’s Science-Based Climate Targets Validated by the SBTi

ATLANTA, August 20, 2025 – JAS is proud to announce that the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has officially validated its near-term and net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets. This validation confirms that JAS’s decarbonization strategy is aligned with the latest scientific guidance to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C, the most ambitious pathway under the Paris Agreement.

The SBTi has classified JAS’s near-term scope 1 and 2 emissions targets as in line with a 1.5°C trajectory and confirmed that its long-term targets meet the SBTi Net-Zero Standard, which outlines science-based ways to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 or earlier.

Approved Science-Based Targets

  • Near-Term Targets (by 2030):
    • Reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% from a 2023 base year
    • Achieve 100% renewable electricity sourcing
    • Ensure 80% of suppliers by emissions (covering upstream transportation and distribution) have science-based targets
  • Net-Zero Targets (by 2050):
    • Reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% from a 2023 base year
    • Reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from upstream transportation and distribution by 90% from a 2021 base year

Strengthening Environmental Action Across the Network

As highlighted in the 2024 Sustainability Report, the company is taking action to reduce emissions across its global network. Initiatives include more efficient routing, network optimization, increased use of renewable energy and low-emission fuels, and strong supplier engagement to decarbonize freight operations.

JAS is also an active participant in global sustainability platforms, including the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and the Smart Freight Centre (SFC), which support knowledge-sharing and collaborative action across the logistics industry.

A Call for Collaboration

JAS recognizes that no single company can tackle the climate crisis alone. Achieving global climate goals will require rapid, deep emissions cuts across all sectors. JAS encourages customers, carriers, and supply chain partners to align with climate science by setting their own 1.5°C-aligned and net-zero targets.

“We are proud to have our climate targets validated by the SBTi, and even more proud of the work already underway across our global teams,” says Andrea Goeman, Senior Vice President QHSE & Sustainability, JAS. “We work closely with our customers to consult them on sustainable logistics solutions and support them in making more climate-conscious decisions. This milestone reflects our long-term commitment to sustainability, aligned with our company’s purpose of creating opportunities to thrive together.”
