Nippon Express Holdings starts offering the NX-GREEN SAF Program in Japan

In Japan, Nippon Express Holdings said it has begun offering the NX-GREEN SAF Program in Japan. The firm noted that the program will enable its customers to purchase the environmental attributes derived from sustainable aviation fuel to reduce CO2 emissions in customers’ supply chain. The NX-GREEN SAF Program, which began service in NX Europe in July 2023, is a carbon-insetting program 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 company said. The company added that this program is available for transport services arranged by the NX Group, and is the first Japanese-affiliated forwarder to offer such a service without restrictions on the choice of airline. “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 the information disclosure required by the TCFD and CDP.”
