DHL Global Forwarding will fund the purchase of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) via United Airlines, recognizing the key role of SAF in decarbonizing the airfreight cargo industry.
As part of the Eco-Skies Alliance program, the logistics expert is one of the program participants that will contribute towards SAF purchases of 3.4 million gallons (12.87m liters) this year to reduce emissions. The SAF is blended proportionally to regular aviation fuel for United Airlines flights.
The higher the share of the SAF in total, the lower the carbon emissions. In this way, true carbon reduction is achieved. The benefits of this are allocated by DHL to the customers, helping them to reduce their carbon footprint.
