Cargolux has announced the launch of its sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) program. The introduction of SAF in the airline’s services takes Cargolux’s sustainability engagement one step further, cementing the company’s commitment to decarbonizing its operations.
This new milestone is an additional step in the company’s endeavor to reduce CO2 emissions and lays the foundation for a customer sustainability program that will offer more sustainable options for their transportation requirements.
“Our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility is intrinsic to our business model and the introduction of SAF in our operation is a significant step forward for Cargolux. We are pleased to be part of an industry-wide initiative to make our business, our industry and our world more sustainable”, says Richard Forson, President & CEO.
The airline aims to be carbon neutral by 2050 and has preemptively acted to be fully compliant with upcoming proposed European regulations and offsetting schemes. In the context of the COP26 conference and its commitment to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5°C, Cargolux is proud to play its part in the collective effort to achieve this goal.
Cargolux will continue to build on this initial step and include increasing options to promote sustainable operations and practices. The initiatives will build on the company’s CSR commitments that encompass a wide range of action areas, especially the environment.
