Foment del Treball to fly with SAF supplied by Vueling

Vueling and Foment del Treball have agreed to promote the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) with the aim of moving towards the decarbonisation of air transport.
Vueling will calculate the emissions of Foment del Treball employees and managers produced by their air travel and subsequently supply the equivalent amount of SAF to the airport network in Spain.
Vueling continues to make progress in increasing the volumes supplied so that, together with the IAG group, 10% of total fuel consumption is achieved by 2030, practically double what the European Union requires.
This agreement seeks not only to reinforce Vueling and Foment del Treball's commitment to sustainability, but also to serve as a reference for other companies.
“With this agreement, at Vueling we reaffirm our commitment to the decarbonisation of aviation, demonstrating that SAF is a solution for companies that want to travel with their environmental impact,” said Franc Sanmartí, director of sustainability at Vueling.
“We are very proud to expand our collaboration with Foment del Treball and invite other organisations to join this initiative.
“This agreement not only responds to the growing expectations in terms of corporate sustainability, but also marks a clear path for more companies to adopt concrete measures that allow them to mitigate their environmental impact and contribute effectively to the fight against climate change.”
The director of Sustainable Development of the Catalan employers' association, Salvador Sedó, added: "At Foment del Treball we reaffirm our commitment to sustainability and the decarbonisation of air transport.
“This agreement with Vueling allows us to take a step forward in reducing our carbon footprint and, at the same time, serve as an example for other companies. It is essential that the business sector gets involved in the transition towards more sustainable models, and the use of SAF represents a real and available solution to move forward in this direction."
