SCHINDELLEGI, Switzerland: September 23, 2019. Kuehne + Nagel has launched a ‘Net Zero Carbon’ programme beginning with Less-than-Container-Load (LCL) shipments from 2020.

In addition to the reduction of its own CO2 emissions, the company says it can use big data and new digital platforms to reduce its customers' CO2 footprint.

The company is leveraging nature projects in Myanmar and New Zealand and investments in various nature-based CO2 compensation projects to earn carbon credit offsets.

Detlef Trefzger (pictured), Kuehne + Nagel International CEO commented: “We are all responsible for the environment, for our ecosystem, and above all for the people – in business and private life.

“We as a company and all our colleagues act now with our Net Zero Carbon programme to fight CO2 emissions and offer sustainable and innovative supply chain solutions – hand in hand with our suppliers and customers. We thus support the aim of the Paris agreement to limit global temperature rise to 1.5° Celsius.”
