Acer, Cathay Cargo, and Dimerco Express Group are collaborating to cut carbon emissions in aviation. Acer and Dimerco have finalized an agreement to promote the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) on Cathay Cargo flights starting in 2024. This initiative aligns with Acer’s net-zero strategy, which aims for net-zero emissions by 2050 through greener logistics.
Grace Liu, Corporate Sustainability Officer at Acer Inc., commented, “The agreement with Dimerco to support SAF is a significant step under our Earthion sustainability platform. It reflects our commitment to addressing environmental challenges in partnership with our supply chain. Achieving net-zero emissions is a global objective, and we are actively working to reduce emissions throughout our product lifecycle—from manufacturing and production to transportation.”
George Chiou, President of Air Freight at Dimerco Express Group, added, “We are committed to working with our customers to reduce freight-related carbon emissions. SAF is transformative, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared to fossil fuels. By collaborating with Acer and Cathay Cargo, we are taking tangible steps towards a more sustainable future.”
Tom Owen, Director of Cargo at Cathay, remarked, “We are pleased to include Acer in our Corporate SAF Programme through its partnership with Dimerco Express Group, which joined our programme last year. Partnerships like this are crucial for achieving both our targets and the aviation industry’s goals for decarbonisation. We are prepared to assist all our forwarder and shipper customers in reaching their sustainability objectives through SAF, which is a key tool for advancing the aviation industry’s transition to a greener future by reducing net emissions.”
