Maersk Line and JF Hillebrand logistics signed the “Carbon Pact”, to incorporate sustainability aspirations into their business activities. The Carbon Pact gives a framework for joint efforts and sets new standards for sustainability goals in the transportation industry.
The document represents a tangible commitment to reduce the impact from JF Hillebrand’s shipments with Maersk Line. The aspirations are related to reducing CO2 emissions per container moved by 20% until 2025, and to promote transparency. At the same time, it is an ambition to jointly drive sustainability improvements in ocean shipping, which is a critical part of JF Hillebrand’s supply chain.
Both companies have a long track record of engaging in initiatives to limit the environmental impact of their activities, such as the United Nations Global Compact initiative, which encourages businesses worldwide to adopt sustainable and socially responsible policies.
“Our ambition is to propel our customers’ ambitions and help them meet their business objectives with the lowest possible environmental footprint” commented Mads Stensen, Senior Sustainability Advisor at Maersk Line.
“We continue to make strides in reducing our own environmental impact as climate change is a global issue”, stated Bruno Cornaille, Head of Sustainable Development at JF Hillebrand.
