DHL GF and IAG Cargo partner to promote SAF
DHL Global Forwarding, the air and ocean freight specialist of Deutsche Post DHL Group, and IAG Cargo have announced a strategic partnership for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). DHL has signed a contract to purchase 11.5 million litres of SAF Scope 3 transport emissions reductions in 2023.
Certified by International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) and produced from used cooking oil and food waste, SAF has at least 80% lower lifecycle emissions than conventional jet fuel.
The partnership marks another milestone in the companies' efforts to ensure more sustainable air freight services and is aligned with Deutsche Post DHL Group’s sustainability goals to achieve net-zero emissions logistics by 2050.
DHL uses only sustainably produced SAF made from waste sources, such as food waste or used cooking oil. (cj)
