Goups join forces to reduce carbon emissions in aviation
Acer, Cathay Cargo, and Dimerco Express Group are joining forces to reduce carbon emissions in aviation. Acer and its logistics provider, Dimerco, have signed an agreement to support sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) use on Cathay Cargo’s flights, beginning in 2024. Under Acer’s net-zero strategy is a commitment toward greener logistics, which the company will focus on to achieve its goal of net-zero emissions by 2050.
“The agreement between Acer and Dimerco to support SAF is another advancement under our Earthion sustainability platform to tackle environmental challenges together with our supply chain partners,” said Grace Liu, Corporate Sustainability Officer, Acer Inc. “Net zero emissions is a global consensus, and we are taking actions to reduce emissions across our entire product lifecycle – from manufacturing, production, to transportation.”
“We work closely with our customers to reduce freight-based carbon emissions. SAF stands out as a game-changer, slashing greenhouse gas emissions up to 80% compared to fossil fuels. By joining forces with Acer and Cathay Cargo, we’re taking concrete action towards a more sustainable world.” said George Chiou, President, Air Freight, Dimerco Express Group.
Cathay Director, Cargo, Tom Owen, said: “We are delighted to welcome Acer to our Corporate SAF Programme through its partnership with Dimerco Express Group, which joined our programme last year. We believe that partnerships such as this along the supply chain are essential if we are to achieve our own and the aviation industry’s stretching targets to decarbonise operations. We are ready to support all of our forwarder and shipper customers in achieving their own sustainability goals through the use of SAF, which is one of the most effective ways to contribute to the aviation industry’s transition to a greener future through the reduction of net emissions.”
