In a major deal, Nestlé now transports 100% of its CMA CGM volumes with BIOFUEL+, a biofuel produced from organic waste that generates 84% fewer carbon emissions.
This agreement with Nestlé is one of the first of its kind, where shippers and beneficial cargo owners commit to decarbonising all shipping emissions.
This collaboration enables Nestlé to avoid 70 000 tons of CO2 per year and considerably reduce its annual greenhouse gas emissions linked to shipping, according to the shipping giant.
“Reaching net zero requires changing many aspects of how we source, make and distribute our products. The agreements we've signed with CMA CGM will help reduce emissions with immediate impact on our carbon footprint and lay the first stone for further partnerships to decarbonise shipping and distribution,” said Stephanie Hart, Nestlé's global head of operations
The ACT WITH CMA CGM+ low-carbon range has been designed to support the Group's customers to accelerate their energy transition. The offer enables customers to analyse their environmental footprint, reduce their carbon emissions through cleaner alternative energies, and offset residual emissions through environmental projects.
In a statement, CMA CGM said it was committed to achieving net zero by 2050 and supported its customers in decarbonising their supply chains with the ACT WITH CMA CGM+ range of low-carbon solutions.
