NX Group Now Offers NX-GREEN SAF Program In Japan

KUALA LUMPUR, April 15 (Bernama) -- Nippon Express Holdings Inc has started offering the NX-GREEN SAF Program in Japan, enabling its valued customers to purchase the environmental attributes derived from sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in customers' supply chains.

The programme which began service at NX Europe in July last year was a carbon-insetting programme that can be used to reduce CO2 emissions from all air transport services provided by the NX Group.

According to a statement, air transport utilising SAF can reduce CO2 emissions by about 80 per cent compared to conventional fossil fuels.

The programme is available for transport services arranged by the NX Group, which is the first Japanese forwarder to offer such a service without restrictions on the choice of airlines.

Customers participating in the programme will be issued with a CO2 reduction verification statement verified by SGS, one of the world's largest certification bodies, that can be used in information disclosure required by the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project).

To address climate change, the NX Group has set the goals of reducing its own CO2 emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 50 per cent from 2013 levels by 2030, and of helping realise carbon-neutral societies by 2050 (Scope 1, 2 and 3).

The NX Group will continue practicing sustainability management from a long-term perspective and contributing to better lives for people and the development of sustainable societies by addressing climate change through its business.
