CMA CGM partners with Nike for sustainable shipping

In France, shipping firm CMA CGM reported it recently signed a deal with Nike under which the latter will purchase sustainable biofuel for a part of their maritime transport.

This initiative will make an important contribution to the decarbonization of Nike’s supply chain, said CMA CGM.

From July 1, 2023, to May 31, 2024, Nike will use sustainable biofuel for the transportation of 36% of their volume with CMA CGM. Through this action, Nike will reduce their CO2 emissions by 25,000 tons, an important leap towards greener operations.

“Collaborating with a key player like Nike and taking this major step towards decarbonization is an important achievement. We are confident that our success will act as a catalyst, encouraging other carriers and customers to join us on this path to accelerate the transition towards a Net Zero industry, said Olivier Nivoix, EVP of CMA CGM Group Lines.
