Kuehne+Nagel and Lenovo offer transparency in emissions reduction with new sustainable logistics service

(IN BRIEF) Kuehne+Nagel is partnering with Lenovo to offer a sustainable aviation fuel service for the technology industry. Customers can now ship IT equipment and devices with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), a fuel produced from sustainable feedstocks that significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Kuehne+Nagel will provide an emission reduction certificate to Lenovo and its customers indicating the amount of SAF litres per purchased device. This allows customers to reduce their emissions according to the amount of CO2e avoided in the transport. The partnership aims to support enterprises in their commitment to minimize their environmental footprint and combat climate change.
