IGL Coatings announced another step towards its climate targets by becoming DHL Ex-press’ latest GoGreen Plus customer. The service supports IGL Coatings’ goal to decrease the emissions for its time-definite international (TDI) shipments by 30 percent through carbon insetting.
Launched this year, GoGreen Plus enables customers to effectively mitigate the carbon footprint of their supply chains by choosing the amount of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) they want to use for their shipments. The SAF is then blended with conventional jet fuel at point of air transport to lower the release of Carbon (CO2) and other greenhouse gases. SAF is currently the only scalable measure for the next years to come, given that it is the only option for long-range flights.
IGL Coatings considers SAF as a crucial element in its roadmap towards becoming a carbon neutral organization, as SAF addresses and alleviates emissions resulting from the air transportation of the company’s products by up to 30 percent. By subscribing to the GoGreen Plus service, IGL Coatings can responsibly respond to rising demand by its con-sumers, partners, and other stakeholders for more sustainable practices globally.
“At IGL Coatings, we have always pursued growth in tandem with sustainable practices. SAF is a key pillar in our journey to accelerate scope 3 reduction and decarbonize our growing global business,” said Keong Chun Chieh, CEO and founder of IGL Coatings. “We have always focused on sustainability in our products, prioritizing innovative formulation and greener packaging. Together with DHL Express, we can move towards a 30 percent reduction in emissions and, in turn, cleaner operations.”
IGL Coatings’ use of GoGreen Plus applies across all its overseas trade lanes and is the lat-est in a long line of environmental actions by the company since 2019.
GoGreen Plus is made possible following two of the largest SAF deals with bp and Nestle in 2022 to supply over 800 million liters to the DHL Express network. It is expected that the strategic collaborations will save approximately two million tons of carbon dioxide emis-sions over the aviation fuel lifecycle—equivalent to the annual greenhouse gas emissions of 400,000 passenger cars.
SAF is produced from sustainably-sourced renewable waste and residue raw materials. In neat form and over the lifecycle, it significantly cuts emissions by up to 80 percent com-pared to conventional jet fuel.
