Yusen Logistics and Finnair are pleased to announce an agreement concerning Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)-related environmental attributes. Through this collaboration, the companies aim to support the reduction of lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions associated with air cargo transportation and contribute to efforts to decarbonise global supply chains.
Under the agreement, Yusen Logistics will purchase SAF-related environmental attributes from Finnair. The arrangement uses a Book-and-Claim mechanism, under which the environmental attributes associated with SAF use can be allocated separately from the physical movement of fuel and cargo.
The companies recognise the importance of collaborative and scalable approaches that address emissions from air cargo transportation while maintaining reliable international logistics services.
The agreement was concluded with the support of Western Associates, Inc., Finnair’s General Sales Agent in Japan, and forms part of Yusen Logistics’ broader sustainability strategy and supports Finnair’s efforts to expand the use of SAF in aviation. It also reflects the shared ambition of Yusen Logistics and Finnair to support customers seeking ways to address emissions associated with air freight transportation through SAF-related environmental attributes and to support the aviation industry’s transition toward lower-carbon operations.
The collaboration also demonstrates the importance of partnerships across the logistics ecosystem, bringing together airlines and logistics providers to support demand for SAF and contribute to the aviation industry’s broader decarbonisation efforts.
