TOKYO, April 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS, INC. has begun offering the NX-GREEN SAF Program in Japan, enabling its valued customers to purchase the environmental attributes derived from sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)1 to reduce CO2 emissions in customers' supply chains.

The NX-GREEN SAF Program, which began service at NX Europe in July 2023, is a carbon-insetting program2 that can be used to reduce CO2 emissions from all air transport services provided by the NX Group. Air transport utilizing SAF can reduce CO2 emissions by about 80% compared to conventional fossil fuels. The program is available for transport services arranged by the NX Group, which is the first Japanese forwarder to offer such a service without restrictions on the choice of airlines3. Customers participating in the program will be issued with a CO2 reduction verification statement verified by SGS, one of the world's largest certification bodies, that can be used in information disclosure required by the TCFD4 and CDP5.
To address climate change, the NX Group has set the goals of reducing its own CO2 emissions (SCOPE 1 and 2) by 50% from 2013 levels by 2030, and of helping realize carbon-neutral societies by 2050 (Scope 1, 2 and 3). The Group submitted a letter of commitment in May 2023 to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to have its targets validated.
The NX Group will continue practicing sustainability management from a long-term perspective and contributing to better lives for people and the development of sustainable societies by addressing climate change through its business.
