Collaboration on decarbonisation of sea shipments has already reduced CO2e by 475 tonnes
Kuehne and Nagel has renewed its strategic collaboration with Acer Europe to decarbonise sea shipments by using biofuel.
So far the partnership, now in its third year, had reduced emissions by 475 tonnes, the logistics group revealed, which ”highlighted both companies’ commitment to environmental sustainability”.
In addition to supporting Acer’s reduction efforts with its certified Book and Claim solution for maritime biofuel, Kuehne and Nagel also provides advanced data-driven insights from seaexplorer as well as order-level emissions reporting.
Acer’s SBTi targets include a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions by 35 per cent by 2030 (compared to 2020), underscoring the ”critical role” of its transport partner to achieve that goal.
“We are proud to work with Kuehne and Nagel, a reliable and trustworthy partner, in our goal to reduce carbon emissions from our logistics operations,” said Riccardo Bernasconi, Acer EMEA supply chain director
”A few years ago, we started several joint carbon-reduction initiatives, and the results are improving year over year.”
“Acer’s inclusive approach to sustainability looks far ahead and focuses on shared responsibility,” noted Ave Crotti, sustainability manager Italy and Iberia at Kuehne and Nagel.
”We are proud to contribute to their efforts and are looking forward to introducing new carbon-reducing initiatives this year focused on distribution processes.”
