Cathay Pacific has reached new sustainability milestones through its Corporate Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Programme, launched in 2022.
In 2024, programme partners have pledged to use 2,650 tonnes of SAF, cutting carbon emissions by an estimated 8,060 tonnes – triple last year’s reduction.
Now one of the largest SAF initiatives globally, the programme introduced a tiered partnership structure this year, drawing prominent new partners such as DB Schenker, the biggest contributor to the programme to date, Kuehne+Nagel as Diamond partners, EQT as a Gold partner, and Julius Baer and Lenton Group as Silver partners.
Cathay Group chief executive, Ronald Lam, said: “Our Corporate SAF Programme has now entered into its third year and keeps expanding. The programme is a key pillar in Cathay’s overall approach to leading the aviation industry’s decarbonisation. With growing support from our corporate travel and cargo customers, Cathay continues to increase SAF usage across our network worldwide. In doing so, our customers are able to help reduce emissions from their air travel and air freight.”
With a goal of 10% SAF usage by 2030, Cathay Pacific is also advancing its net-zero commitment through fleet modernisation, operational efficiencies, and emerging technologies.
