Paulig switches to biofuels for all ocean imports

In Estonia, Paulig has established long-term partnerships with multiple logistics carriers to switch to biofuel option for all ocean imports, reducing its ocean freight emissions by 90% and saving approximately 10,000 tons of CO2 emissions each year. Paulig’s main ocean imports include green coffee and spices, which represent approximately 80% of Paulig’s total shipments. This important step marks another key milestone in reducing the company’s value chain emissions and becoming a sustainability frontrunner in the food industry.

Coffee and spices, which account for around 80% of Paulig’s total incoming shipments—with over 50% of shipments coming from Latin America transporting green coffee—will now travel more sustainably, advancing the company’s commitment to climate action. While not all vessels will physically operate on biofuel, Paulig will purchase the equivalent amount under a mass balance system, while ensuring development of certified sustainable shipping practices.
