The new contract covers 2024 and 2025 emissions and will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 165,000 metric tons of CO2e for DHL Express and DHL Global Forwarding.
The SAF is certified by International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) and is derived from sources such as used cooking oil and food waste.
It will mainly be delivered to London Heathrow Airport.
Max Sauberschwarz, Global Head of Air Freight at DHL Global Forwarding, says, “This solution enables us to decrease greenhouse gas emissions at their source and allocate the reductions achieved to our customers through certificates. We are delighted that our longstanding partner, IAG Cargo, shares our commitment and supports us in our mission to deliver more sustainable transportation solutions to our customers.”
David Shepherd, CEO of IAG Cargo, adds, “By utilising 60 million litres of sustainable aviation fuel, we are not just reducing our carbon footprint by an estimated 165,000 metric ton of CO2e, we are demonstrating the power of collaboration in driving meaningful change.”
