DHL Global Forwarding and Air France KLM Martinair Cargo (AFKLMP) have signed a new agreement
DHL Global Forwarding, the air and ocean freight specialist of DHL Group, and Air France KLM Martinair Cargo (AFKLMP) have signed a new framework agreement, further deepening their joint commitment to decarbonizing the air freight industry. Building on their milestone partnership, established in 2022, this agreement introduces a clear focus on emission reduction claims, emphasizing the development of market-ready book-and-claim models to advance sustainable air freight solutions across the sector.
“This framework agreement shows what collaborative decarbonization in air freight can look like,” said Henk Venema, Executive Vice President of Global Air Freight at DHL Global Forwarding. “Emission Reduction Rights provide predictability, scalability, and transparency – three critical factors for sustainable aviation fuels to make a real impact within the market. Together with AFKLMP, we are establishing a foundation that can serve as a model for the entire industry.”
As part of the new agreement, DHL Global Forwarding recently signed a work order for 35,000 metric tons of CO₂e WTW (Well-to-Wheel) emission reduction rights. This collaboration with AFKLMP goes far beyond traditional sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) procurement. Rather than relying solely on transactional fuel purchases, the partnership centers on a structured, long-term approach to accelerate the adoption of sustainable aviation fuels and digital verification processes in the marketplace. For DHL, this is a strategic move that strengthens its position as a leader in emission-reduced air freight.
