Published

on

GUIYANG, China, May 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Full Truck Alliance Co. Ltd. (“FTA” or the “Company”) (NYSE: YMM), a leading digital freight platform, today announced the release of its 2025 Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) report. The report highlights FTA’s commitment to embedding sustainability into its core strategies and operations, reflecting the Company’s continued progress in strengthening its ESG infrastructure and creating lasting value for stakeholders.

“Technology is the engine of sustainable progress, and at FTA, this conviction shapes the way we innovate, operate, and grow,” said Peter Hui Zhang, Chairman and CEO of FTA. “In 2025, we deepened the integration of ESG principles across our strategy and operations, leveraging big data, AI, and cloud computing to build a more efficient and lower-carbon freight ecosystem. Our green closed-loop model—seamlessly connecting trucks, cargo, and logistics hubs—embeds sustainability across the value chain, delivering meaningful operational and environmental outcomes. Looking ahead, we remain committed to advancing intelligent and sustainable freight solutions, strengthening governance and stakeholder trust, and creating enduring value for our customers, partners, employees, and the world we share.”

Highlights of FTA’s 2025 ESG Achievements:

Advancing Intelligent and Green Freight

FTA addressed the road freight industry’s “Empty Hauling, Empty Loads, and Empty Waiting” (the “3E”) challenges through an intelligent dispatching system powered by big data algorithms, optimizing vehicle-cargo matching and route planning to enhance capacity utilization and operational efficiency. Through these efforts, FTA reduced its 3E rate from 38.97% in 2020 to 34.88% in 2025, delivering measurable gains in resource conservation and emissions reduction, and cumulatively reducing carbon emissions by approximately 149 million tons of CO₂ equivalent over the same period.

Empowering the Freight Ecosystem

FTA implemented a range of measures across safety management, freight payment protection, and human-centered care, further reinforcing its risk management framework. These measures delivered a 100% complaint resolution rate and a 91.21% customer satisfaction rate following complaint handling[1], reflecting year-over-year improvement. In addition, the average empty-haul distance for transacted recommended cargo decreased by 13.25 km per order, significantly improving freight matching efficiency across the platform ecosystem.

[1] Complaint resolution rate = Total complaints resolved and responded to in the year / Total customer complaints received. Post-complaint customer satisfaction encompassed all complaints throughout 2025, and surveys were conducted accordingly.

Growing with Our People

People are central to FTA’s sustainable development. The Company fosters a diverse and inclusive workplace, cultivating a secure and supportive environment where employees and the Company grow together. In 2025, an internal employee satisfaction survey covering 80% of FTA’s full-time workforce achieved an average score of 4.49 out of 5.

Strengthening the Foundation of Governance

FTA regards robust corporate governance as the cornerstone of its ESG strategy and a key driver of long-term value creation. The Company continues to strengthen its governance framework, enhance Board oversight, and improve operational transparency and management discipline. In compliance and risk management, FTA integrates risk awareness into daily operations through robust institutional frameworks, training, and supervision mechanisms. In data security and privacy protection, the Company applies comprehensive technological and managerial safeguards to protect information security and the rights and interests of customers and platform stakeholders.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
