As a responsible enterprise, Linklogis has always been giving back to society while developing business.

In the "7.20" severe rainstorm disaster in Zhengzhou, Henan, in 2021, Linklogis cared about the flood-affected area, and immediately donated RMB 1 million through the Red Cross Society of China for disaster relief, epidemic prevention, and post-disaster reconstruction. Moreover, Linklogis actively participated in community support activities, organized their employees in the volunteer works for epidemic prevention, and donated healthcare supplies to the local community in need.
The Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Linklogis, Mr. Song Qun commented, "With the in-depth development of the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, the digital economy has become a breakthrough point for China to grasp the growing new opportunities brought by technology advancement. Digitalization and dual-carbon are mutually promoted, penetrated, and evolved, achieving a win-win for the ecosystem. Fortunately, Linklogis has been on the path to exploring the integration of digitalization and the dual-carbon goals since our inception, and our corporate growth is in line with the ESG development. Looking ahead, Linklogis will effectively exert the power of 'Technology for Good', digitalize supply chain finance to boost the development of the real economy, foster environmental protection, maximize environmental protection, reduce carbon emissions, create value for employees, shareholders, and society, and construct an excellent corporate management and governance system."
