Nestlé is using Maersk’s ECO Delivery solution for 100% of its ocean containers shipped by Maersk in 2023, with an option to extend this agreement into 2024 and beyond.
The seaborne emissions of these transports are being reduced by over 80% compared to the usage of conventional fossil fuels. According to Maersk, with ECO Delivery, ocean transports are done with certified green fuels like second generation biofuel based on waste feedstocks.
These fuels are replacing conventional fossil fuels on container ships in Maersk’s fleet. The corresponding GHG emission savings are confirmed to the customers with a certificate.
Reaching net zero requires changing many aspects of how we source, make, and distribute our products. The agreements we’ve signed with Maersk will help reduce emissions and deliver immediate positive impacts on our carbon footprint.
… said Stephanie Hart, Global Head of Operations at Nestlé
Nestlé’s goal is a 50% reduction of its total emissions by 2030 and to be net zero by 2050. With scope 3 emissions being the major part of the overall emissions, ECO Delivery is an effective solution for abatement of scope 3 emissions caused by ocean transports.
We are proud and delighted to make this immense emission savings possible with our ECO Delivery. Having green fuel solutions like ECO Delivery at hand, it still takes such impressive commitments of our customers like Nestlé to make the decarbonization of our shipping and landside logistics actually happen.
… commented Johan Sigsgaard, Executive Vice President and Chief Product Officer Ocean of A.P. Moller – Maersk
To remind, the Volvo Cars, Amazon, Inditex, and Lenovo have also opted for Maerk’s ECO Solution, in order to reduce their emissions.
