DHL Group has strengthened its commitment to sustainable logistics by expanding its partnership with Neste, a leading provider of renewable fuels. This collaboration aims to significantly reduce carbon emissions in freight operations by integrating sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel into DHL’s supply chain.
Key Aspects of the DHL-Neste Partnership
- Increased Use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF): DHL will integrate Neste’s SAF into its air freight network to cut CO₂ emissions by up to 80%.
- Expansion of Renewable Diesel in Ground Transport: DHL will use Neste MY Renewable Diesel in its road logistics operations, reducing its reliance on fossil fuels.
- Support for DHL’s Net-Zero Goals: This initiative aligns with DHL’s 2050 carbon-neutral logistics strategy, reinforcing its leadership in green supply chain solutions.
