Hapag-Lloyd, Kuehne + Nagel go for 17% CO2 reduction by 2020
In the document, both companies clearly state that they “want to take advantage of this unique opportunity to influence the logistics sector.”
In doing so, the two companies particularly wish to give Kuehne + Nagel customers options based on transparent data. Hapag-Lloyd will thus make it possible for Kuehne + Nagel to use information about the CO2 emissions of the ships in Hapag-Lloyd’s fleet, which has previously been verified by the independent Clean Cargo Working Group (CCWG), in its communications with customers.
With their Carbon and Sustainability Pact, both companies have also committed themselves to a series of additional actions to better protect the environment. For example, there are plans to optimize the movement of empty containers as well as to identify alternatives to truck transports using ships or trains. In addition, there are also plans to use the most modern and eco-friendly reefer equipment whenever possible as well as to use containers with steel rather than wooden floors where appropriate.
