This initiative seamlessly aligns
with the CMA CGM Group’s comprehensive strategy for decarbonization, working towards achieving Net Zero
by 2050 and supporting our client in decarbonizing their supply chain. It marks
valuable progress in the commitment of both companies towards sustainability.
Nike, a global leader in the apparel
and sportswear industry, has recently entered into an agreement with CMA CGM to
purchase sustainable biofuel for a part of their maritime transport. This initiative will make an important
contribution to the decarbonization of Nike’s supply chain.
From
July 1, 2023, to May 31, 2024, Nike will use sustainable biofuel for the
transportation of 36% of their volume with CMA CGM. Through this action, Nike
will reduce their CO2 emissions by 25,000 tons, an important leap towards
greener operations.
