DHL Express has embarked on a collaboration with GKN Aerospace in Malaysia to integrate sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) through DHL’s GoGreen Plus service. This partnership aims to significantly reduce the carbon emissions associated with international shipments by up to 30 percent for GKN Aerospace’s engine repair facility located in Johor. This announcement is in line with GKN Aerospace’s commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the pursuit of Scope 3 reductions.
DHL Express launched its GoGreen Plus initiative in 2023, which offers customers the opportunity to effectively offset the environmental impact of their supply chains through carbon insetting. The selected quantity of SAF is combined with traditional jet fuel at the point of air transport, effectively lowering the release of CO2e and other greenhouse gases. SAF is presently recognized as the most scalable solution, particularly for long-range flights.
