Envirotainer, the specialist in temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical shipments, has partnered with Air France KLM Martinair Cargo (AFKLMP) to support the development and adoption of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

By investing through AFKLMP Cargo’s SAF programme, Envirotainer aims to help pharmaceutical companies meet their sustainability goals while maintaining the integrity of temperature-sensitive shipments, says an official release from Envirotainer.

“At Envirotainer, we recognise that sustainability is about more than just our direct operations,” says E.B. Butt, Head, Global Key Accounts Airlines, Envirotainer. “Our partnership with Air France KLM Martinair Cargo reflects our dedication to addressing emissions across the entire supply chain. Through investments in SAF, we’re reducing our environmental impact while enabling pharmaceutical businesses to do the same.”

The programme aims to spur the development of advanced SAF and reduce aviation’s carbon footprint. SAF is produced from renewable feedstocks, such as waste oils and residues, and can reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 85 percent compared to conventional jet fuel, the release added.

"The company’s science-based targets are designed to guide its efforts in reducing emissions across its value chain. Collaborative initiatives like this SAF agreement demonstrate the essential role partnerships play in achieving long-term environmental goals."

Butt adds: “We believe that addressing the complexities of sustainability requires collective action. Working with industry leaders like Air France-KLM allows us to support sustainable solutions that benefit both the cold chain and pharmaceutical industries.”

The partnership builds on Envirotainer’s previous achievements such as adopting 95 percent renewable electricity across its operations, the release added.
