The three-year partnership is expected to save over 80,000 tons of carbon dioxide by blending SAF with regular aviation fuel on AFKLMP flights.
Customers purchasing services from DHL can select the sustainable option and the related Scope 3 emissions reductions will be credited to their account.
The “book & claim” system offers a digital accounting system to track and transfer emissions reductions from sustainable fuels across the value chains.
Tim Scharwath, CEO of DHL Global Forwarding says: “With our Sustainability Roadmap, we have set ourselves ambitious goals on our journey towards zero emissions. Sustainable fuels are a fundamental part of our efforts. That is why we have committed to covering at least 30% of airfreight and ocean freight fuel requirements with sustainable fuels by 2030. Our partnership with AFKLMP will help us achieve that goal.”
Adriaan den Heijer, EVP Air France KLM Cargo and Managing Director of Martinair adds: “Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) has a lot of potential to reduce CO2 emissions and we are delighted to collaborate with our strong, long-term partner DHL Global Forwarding on this journey to greener logistics and transportation in the coming years.”
