Rhenus joins Air France KLM Martinair Cargo’s SAF programme
The participation in the SAF programme has highlighted the duty Rhenus holds towards its customers to champion sustainability in the logistics industry.
The Air France KLM Martinair Cargo SAF Programme enables companies to contribute to the utilisation and development of SAF for their shipments, derived from renewable sources such as waste oils and agricultural residues. The voluntary investment in SAF to support Air France KLM Martinair Cargo’s efforts to scale its production and usage represents just one of the ways Rhenus drives a broader sustainability agenda.
“SAF is a cornerstone for lower emissions future of air freight, helping us meet environmental goals while maintaining the efficiency and reliability that our customers rely on. This partnership reflects our dedication to addressing the environmental challenges of aviation through forward-thinking solutions,” said Frank Swart, head of sustainable air freight product development at Rhenus Air & Ocean.
“As the aviation industry works to meet ambitious sustainability goals, collaborations like this with Rhenus are essential in driving the widespread adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuel. Together, we are taking important steps to reduce the environmental impact of air transport and accelerate the shift towards cleaner energy solutions,” added Robert Kunen, vice-president Europe at Air France KLM Martinair Cargo.
“Joining Air France KLM Martinair Cargo’s SAF Programme reinforces our focus on sustainability as a core element of our strategy. This collaboration highlights how companies in logistics and aviation can collaboratively address climate change, offering customers solutions to reduce their emissions and driving progress towards more sustainable supply chains,” said Jan Harnisch, CEO Rhenus Air & Ocean.
