We are very proud to announce that Nektium has recently joined the DHL GoGreen Plus project! This initiative aligns with Deutsche Post DHL Group’s ambitious sustainability goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

Through the GoGreen Plus service, Nektium is now able to reduce the carbon emissions associated with our air shipments by supporting Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). This innovative solution not only makes our supply chain more sustainable but also contributes to the reduction of our Scope 3 emissions.

When talking about carbon emissions, Scope 1 includes those direct emissions that are owned or controlled by a company, whereas Scope 2 and 3 indirect emissions are a consequence of the activities of the company but occur from sources not owned or controlled by it.

While Scope 1 includes direct emissions resulting from vehicles, fuel use, and/or chemical leakage, Scope 2 gathers indirect emissions resulting from bought electricity, cooling, heat and/or steam. Other indirect emissions that occur in the value chain of a company are considered as Scope 3, such as emissions resulting from purchased goods and services, transport, or business travel.

Within this context, our commitment to sustainability is stronger than ever. As part of our efforts to contribute to decarbonization, we have focused on replacing electricity derived from fossil fuels with clean energy sources. Currently, we generate over one-third of the energy we consume from low-impact renewable sources which is allowing us to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions.

Regarding Scope 3 emissions, we recognize the significant impact logistics has on our overall environmental footprint. Although we prioritize maritime transport, we still rely on air transport, which disproportionately contributes to the total emissions associated with shipping our products to customers.

That is why by participating in GoGreen Plus, we will actively contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions within the logistics sector and support the transition to greener alternatives.
