In Germany, DHL Global Forwarding and IAG Cargo have announced a strategic partnership in the SAF field.
Under the terms of the deal, DHL has signed a contract to purchase 11.5 million liters of SAF emissions reductions in 2023. DHL said it uses only sustainably produced SAF made from waste sources, such as food waste or used cooking oil.
“We are sure that creating a more sustainable freight sector can only be achieved collaboratively. Therefore, we are constantly looking for other companies to cooperate with and are very happy to announce our newest partnership with IAG Cargo. We must act now to build a sustainable future,” said Thomas Mack, Global Head of Air Freight, DHL Global Forwarding.
David Shepherd, Chief Executive Officer at IAG Cargo said: “At IAG Cargo, we are continuously striving to reduce our impact on the environment by working with colleagues, customers and partners to embed sustainable thinking across the business and become fit for the future. IAG was the first European airline group to make the commitment that 10% of flights will be fueled by SAF by 2030 – and this partnership is another step towards that goal.”
