DHL Global Forwarding announces the Prada Group’s first investment in Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) credits, utilizing DHL Global Forwarding’s GoGreen Plus service. By leveraging sustainable fuels, DHL Global Forwarding can support customers in effectively reducing their transport emissions from air freight.
In 2023, the partnership with DHL allowed Prada Group to save approximately 4,500 metric tons of CO2e, corresponding to 7% of the Group’s total transport-associated emissions.
SAF is one of the most effective ways to decarbonize the aviation industry, allowing for a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% compared to conventional aviation fuel. The fuel is produced from waste sources, such as cooking oil and food waste. DHL hereby follows an insetting approach, utilizing sustainable fuels to reduce emissions directly at the source. Air carriers use sustainable biofuels on behalf of DHL, leading to reductions in emissions. These emission reductions are transferred to DHL, which then allocates them to the shippers as certificates.
“In today’s world, it is crucial to establish a clear decarbonization roadmap involving carriers, SAF manufacturers, regulators, and customers. We are proud that Prada Group has chosen to leverage the expertise of DHL Global Forwarding to form a partnership that we believe will drive the much-needed change forward,” said Mario Zini, Managing Director of DHL Global Forwarding Italy.
The SAF utilized by DHL for the Prada Group is certified by the International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC). This certification guarantees that the fuel is produced in compliance with rigorous sustainability standards. The ISCC is an independent initiative and renowned certification system that promotes sustainable, traceable, deforestation-free, and climate-friendly supply chains. It covers various materials, including sustainable agricultural biomass, biogenic wastes and residues, non-biological renewable materials, and recycled carbon-based materials.
