Swiss WorldCargo and World Courier sign SAF partnership

Swiss WorldCargo has signed an agreement with World Courier to use sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

World Courier’s investment is the highest Swiss WorldCargo has received so far and is the equivalent of more than 2,000 shipments from London to Switzerland.

The agreement will help make the biopharma logistics and airfreight industries more sustainable.

A signing ceremony took place at Bush House in London where Gieri Hinnen, Head of Cargo Global Sales at Swiss WorldCargo, and Susanne Wellauer, Vertical Industry Pharma & Healthcare at Swiss WorldCargo handed over a carbon emission reduction certificate to representatives from World Courier.

Lorenzo Stoll, Head of Cargo at Swiss International Air Lines, says, “At Swiss WorldCargo we invest in driving positive change in the airfreight landscape and are directing our efforts to make collaborations such as the one with World Courier a new reality in the near future. World Courier's investment in SAF with Swiss WorldCargo is in fact a statement of our shared commitment for a more sustainable future of our logistics industry.”

Alex Guite, Senior Vice President of Global Operations & Services at World Courier, adds, “Our partners trust us to deliver vital pharmaceutical products around the world, ensuring they can reach the patients who need them. As we continue to enhance our service capabilities, we remain equally focused on investing in solutions and implementing practices that enable us to establish more efficient and sustainable operations globally.”
