The logistics giant is extending its participation in AFKLMP Cargo’s sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) programme, which started in January 2021 for cargo flights between Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport and New York’s John F. Kennedy airport.
The new agreement covers all routes operated by AFKLMP Cargo and will help Bolloré Logistics to cut its scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by at least 75%, a minimum of 4,400 tonnes of CO2, throughout the year.
Claude Picciotto, Head of Airfreight Procurement at Bolloré Logistics, says, “Today's challenges mean that our customers have very specific expectations regarding the management of their supply chain and are now opting for eco-responsible solutions in line with their commitments. We were among the first to make this shift with our partner Air France KLM Martinair Cargo and we will continue developing our offer to achieve our scope 3 CO2 reduction targets.”
Christophe Boucher, Executive Vice President of Air France Cargo, adds, “We at Air France KLM Martinair Cargo are thrilled to be teaming up with our long-standing partner Bolloré Logistics to pursue the development of a more sustainable airfreight logistics chain. Together we pioneered the use of sustainable aviation fuel, a key milestone, but it will be even more important to persevere and speed up our efforts to meet our sustainability targets.”
