In Finland, Finnair and DB Schenker have initiated their sustainability collaboration by signing an agreement for DB Schenker to purchase nearly 400 tons of scope 3 CO2e reductions, equaling approximately 120 tons of sustainable aviation fuel from Finnair. Both companies are committed to increasing the use of sustainable aviation fuel to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related to air cargo transport. Finnair has set a science-based target to reduce its carbon emissions intensity (CO2e/RTK) by 34.5% by 2033 from a 2023 baseline. “Our toolkit for reaching the target comprises investing in sustainable aviation fuels beyond regulatory requirements, further improving operational efficiency, optimizing our network, and investing in new aircraft technology. This agreement with DB Schenker marks an important milestone in our decarbonization efforts and we are thrilled to partner with such a pioneering company, placing key focus on this important matter. Air freight industry needs to address the climate challenge together, and partnering with like-minded stakeholders within the value chain is essential”, said Gabriela Hiitola, Senior Vice President, Finnair Cargo.
