DSV Partners with SAS on Sustainable Aviation Fuel for Corporate Travel, Demonstrating Commitment to Reducing Carbon Footprint

Stockholm, Sweden, 2023-Feb-26 — /Travel PR News/ — DSV is the first company in Denmark to sign an agreement within the SAS Corporate Sustainability Program. This partnership means DSV will buy sustainable aviation fuel for all its corporate travel with SAS for 2023.

The main lever for decarbonizing the aviation sector is to replace fossil fuels (kerosene) with sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). SAS now accelerates partnerships with corporate customers to expand the use of SAF. The signing marks the start of SAS Corporate Sustainability Program, an initiative designed to meet the demand to easily buy sustainable aviation fuel and thereby reducing climate-affecting emissions for air travel and cargo.

”DSV is proud to replace all fossil jet fuel with SAF for all of our 2023 business flights. As one of the world’s largest freight forwarders, we recognise our responsibility to work towards reducing our indirect emissions. Since COVID, we have been able to reduce our amount of business air travel, but being a global company with customers and business partners across the world, we cannot eliminate it completely. With this initiative, we seek to lower the impact of our business air travel,” says Jens Bjørn Andersen, Group CEO, DSV

SAS is a driving force in sustainable aviation and the transition toward net zero aviation, openly engaging with stakeholders in the industry to get there. The partnership between DSV and SAS leads the way with the aim to inspire other companies to join.

“SAS aims to decarbonize aviation and progress on this ambitious plan can only be achieved through collaboration. By involving our customersand teaming up with themwe will reduceCO2 emissions and enable more large-scale production of sustainable aviation fuels. We hope the partnership between DSV and SAS will inspire other companies to join our Corporate Sustainability Program and be part of the journey to transform aviation for generations to come,” says Anko van der Werff, SAS President & CEO.”
