Nippon Express and Nikon expand SAF partnership to cut supply chain emissions
In India, BioEnergy Times reported that Nippon Express has signed an agreement with Nikon Corporation to provide air cargo transportation services using SAF, supporting Nikon’s efforts to reduce Scope 3 carbon dioxide emissions through the NX Group’s “NX-GREEN SAF Program.”
The agreement marks the second consecutive year of collaboration between the two companies under a project led by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Nippon Express was once again selected as a designated cargo agent for the “Project to Promote SAF Use in Air Cargo Transport for Corporate Compliance with Scope 3 Requirements,” which encourages businesses to adopt sustainable aviation fuel in their logistics operations, according to the report.
Under the latest agreement, which covers air cargo shipments between May and December 2025, Nippon Express utilized the NX Group’s NX-GREEN SAF Program to issue carbon reduction certificates corresponding to the volume of SAF used for air freight shipments arranged on Nikon’s behalf. The initiative is intended to support Nikon’s ongoing efforts to lower Scope 3 emissions generated through transportation and logistics activities, the report added.
