DHL Group and Neste are expanding their partnership to reduce emissions in logistics, with a specific emphasis on aviation operations. The two companies have announced that they will work together to enhance sustainability within the global supply chain, targeting a significant reduction in carbon emissions in air transport.
Neste, a leading producer of renewable fuels, will provide its sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to DHL Group, which operates one of the largest logistics networks in the world. By utilizing SAF in DHL’s aviation operations, both companies aim to achieve a notable decrease in greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with their broader environmental goals.
The collaboration is part of DHL’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, and it supports Neste’s mission to help decarbonize the transport sector. SAF, made from renewable raw materials, significantly reduces the carbon footprint of aviation compared to conventional jet fuel. The partnership will not only support the aviation industry’s transition to greener alternatives but also contribute to the companies’ shared objectives of promoting sustainability and climate action.
As part of their expanded collaboration, DHL will increase its use of Neste’s SAF across its global network, incorporating the fuel into its aviation fleet for both long-haul and regional flights. The focus on aviation is particularly important, as air transport accounts for a significant portion of global carbon emissions, and SAF is viewed as one of the most effective ways to achieve reductions in this area.
The two companies will continue to explore innovative solutions that further enhance the sustainability of logistics operations. By collaborating in this way, DHL Group and Neste aim to set a positive example for the logistics industry and accelerate the transition to a more sustainable future for global supply chains.
This deeper partnership underscores the growing trend of companies in the logistics and aviation sectors joining forces to address climate change, particularly by adopting renewable energy sources and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. With their joint efforts, DHL and Neste are helping lead the way toward a greener, more sustainable logistics industry, while making significant strides toward reducing emissions in air transportation.
