Kuehne + Nagel to offer CO2-neutral transports as from 2020
By launching its net zero carbon programme, Kuehne + Nagel actively contributes to the reduction of CO2 in transport and logistics worldwide. In addition to the continuous reduction of its own CO2 emissions, the company now offers its customers solutions for reducing the CO2 footprint of their supply chains. With the use of big data and new digital platforms, the selection of transport routes and modes can be optimised from a CO2 perspective.
KN has also decided to proactively address the CO2 footprint of the transportation services performed by its suppliers – airlines, shipping lines and haulage companies. KN targets a comprehensive CO2 neutralisation by 2030. As a first step, all less-than-container-load shipments will be CO2-neutral from 2020 onwards.
Kuehne + Nagel’s net zero carbon programme leverages three fields of action: detection, reduction and compensation of CO2. The company has started its own nature projects in Myanmar and New Zealand and has invested in various nature-based CO2 compensation projects, where carbon is taken from the atmosphere. (mw)
