Latest SAF airfreight route between France and US launched
Bolloré Logistics has joined the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) programme of Air France KLM Martinair Cargo (AFKLMP Cargo) for its latest shipments.

“Customers determine their own level of engagement and we ensure that their entire investment is used for sourcing SAF.

In 2021, the company has committed itself to reducing scope 3 CO₂ emissions linked to the performance of its transport services by 30% by 2030. We believe that sustainable aviation fuel is one of the key factors in reaching this ambitious objective,” added Thierry Erhenbogen, CEO of Bolloré Logistics.
