Cathay’s Corporate Sustainable Aviation Fuel (“SAF”) Programme continues to make substantial progress, with new partners and a record commitment to SAF usage making it one of the biggest initiatives of its kind globally.
A tiered structure has recently been introduced, allowing customers to participate based on their SAF demand and business needs. Cathay has welcomed DB Schenker, the biggest contributor to the programme to date, and Kuehne+Nagel as Diamond partners, EQT as a Gold partner, and Julius Baer and Lenton Group as Silver partners, bringing the total to 15 partners in 2024. Notably, 2024 also saw multi-year commitments from partners as they view SAF as a long-term solution to their decarbonisation journey. In 2024, programme partners committed to using a total of 2,650 tonnes of SAF, equating to a reduction of approximately 8,060 tonnes of carbon emissions, which was three times the reduction achieved in 2023.
