Cathay Cargo and DB Schenker have formalized a significant partnership, marking the global forwarder's membership in Cathay's Corporate Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Programme. The signing ceremony took place on October 8 at Cathay City headquarters. Present at the event were Cathay Director Cargo Tom Owen and DB Schenker Vice President Global Carrier Relation Susanne Stemmer.
DB Schenker has become the largest contributor to the SAF programme, which underscores both companies' dedication to reducing carbon emissions. Owen expressed his enthusiasm: “We are delighted to welcome DB Schenker here not only as the newest member of the Cathay Corporate SAF Programme, but also as its biggest contributor. It is great to have this level of support from such an important player in the air cargo industry as we work together to decarbonise aviation.”
The programme was initiated in 2022 with a goal of addressing climate change by allowing members to purchase SAF for use on Cathay Pacific and Cathay Cargo flights. By committing to buy 878 tonnes of SAF, equivalent to 290,000 US gallons, DB Schenker will contribute significantly towards reducing over 2,600 tonnes of carbon emissions.
