Kuehne+Nagel and Acer Europe partner to decarbonise sea shipments

• Use of biofuel to reduce emissions for Acer’s sea shipments 
• 475 tons of CO2e reduced over the past three years 

Kuehne+Nagel renews its strategic collaboration with Acer Europe to decarbonise sea shipments by using biofuel. So far, this partnership, now in its third year, has reduced emissions by 475 tons. It highlights both companies’ commitment to environmental sustainability.  

In addition to supporting Acer’s reduction efforts with its certified Book and Claim solution for maritime biofuel, Kuehne+Nagel also provides advanced data-driven insights from seaexplorer as well as order-level emissions reporting. Acer’s SBTi targets include a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions by 35% by 2030 (compared to 2020), underscoring the critical role of their transport partner to achieve that goal. 

“We are proud to work with Kuehne+Nagel, a reliable and trustworthy partner, in our goal to reduce carbon emissions from our logistics operations. A few years ago, we started several joint carbon-reduction initiatives, and the results are improving year over year,” says Riccardo Bernasconi, Acer EMEA Supply Chain Director. 

“Acer’s inclusive approach to sustainability looks far ahead and focuses on shared responsibility. We are proud to contribute to their efforts and are looking forward to introducing new carbon-reducing initiatives this year focused on distribution processes,” says Ave Crotti, Sustainability Manager Italy and Iberia at Kuehne+Nagel.
