Sustainability at Air Cargo Green Capabilities

Sustainability is not just a goal for us — it is the foundation of our business. We are deeply committed to integrating sustainable business practices into every aspect of our logistics operations.

From reducing carbon emissions to adopting eco-friendly technologies, our aim is to make a tangible difference in the fight against climate change.

By focusing on innovative strategies, we strive to minimize our impact on the environment while maintaining the highest levels of service for our clients.

Our Eco-Friendly Strategy

Our strategy revolves around reducing CO₂ emissions, which are a major contributor to global warming. The transportation sector alone accounts for nearly 14% of global greenhouse gas emissions, making sustainable logistics critical.

To address this challenge, we focus on key initiatives:

Optimizing delivery routes
Advanced logistics technology helps reduce travel distances and fuel consumption
Consolidating shipments
Combining smaller loads into fewer trips minimizes unnecessary emissions
Collaborating with sustainable partners
We prioritize working with companies that share our environmental values and utilize eco-friendly practices

By implementing these practices, we ensure that every shipment not only reaches its destination efficiently but also with minimal environmental cost. This proactive approach allows us to contribute to a more sustainable future without compromising the quality of our services.

CO₂ Emissions Calculator

Understanding your carbon footprint is the first step toward reducing it. To empower our clients, we offer a CO₂ emissions calculator, which helps estimate the environmental impact of their shipments. This tool is part of our mission to promote transparency and awareness. By providing detailed data, the calculator allows clients to make informed decisions, explore alternative solutions, and actively participate in reducing emissions.

Together, we can take measurable steps to create a greener planet.

Our Carbon Footprint

We practice what we preach. While indirect emissions from the wider logistics network, including transportation, travel, and storage, account for 99.9% of the total carbon impact, our direct emissions are impressively low.

Here’s a breakdown of our footprint:

  • Direct emissions from company vehicles: only 0.003% of our total emissions, thanks to our use of electric and hybrid vehicles that minimize reliance on fossil fuels.
  • Energy use in our offices: direct energy emissions, including electricity and heating, account for just 0.007%, as we prioritize energy-efficient technologies and renewable energy sources.
  • Indirect influence (transport, travel, storage): representing 99.9%, this area highlights the importance of collaboration with sustainable partners to reduce emissions across the supply chain.

This data demonstrates our commitment to reducing both direct and indirect emissions while leading by example in the logistics industry.

Sustainable Practices

To fully integrate eco-consciousness into our operations, we have implemented a variety of innovative practices that touch every stage of the logistics process. These initiatives show how even small changes can create significant positive impacts.

Here’s how we take responsibility for the environment:

Eco-friendly packaging materials

Using recyclable and biodegradable options, we minimize waste and contribute to a circular economy

Electric vehicles for local deliveries

Our fleet of electric cars significantly reduces emissions in urban areas, improving air quality and cutting fuel dependency

Partnerships with airlines using SAF

Collaborating with airlines that utilize Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), we reduce aviation-related emissions by up to 80%

Electronic Air Waybills (e-AWB)

Transitioning to digital documentation helps us reduce paper usage and protect forest ecosystems

We also provide Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) certificates to our clients, offering detailed reports on the CO₂ emissions and eco-friendly measures applied to their shipments. These certificates enhance transparency and allow clients to demonstrate their commitment to reducing environmental impact.

ESG Certificate Example

By embedding these eco-forward solutions into our workflows, we not only reduce our environmental footprint but also enable our clients to align their operations with global environmental goals.

Our Progress and Future Goals

In 2024, we made measurable progress by reducing our direct environmental impact by 7%. This achievement is a testament to our philosophy of «start with yourself» and our relentless pursuit of improvement. However, our work doesn’t stop here. Studies show that global carbon emissions must drop by nearly 45% by 2030 to keep global warming below 1.5°C.

We align our goals with this urgent timeline, striving to innovate and further integrate sustainable business practices into our operations.

We are committed to leading by example and inspiring others in the logistics industry to join us in building a more sustainable future.

Together for a Greener Future

Sustainability is not a trend; it’s a necessity. We are proud to be at the forefront of sustainable business practices, working tirelessly to reduce our environmental impact and empower our clients to do the same.

By choosing ACGC, you’re not only selecting reliable logistics solutions but also contributing to a collective effort to protect our planet for generations to come. Let’s move forward together toward a greener future.
