Cleaner Airfreight at Hellmann

Hellmann as a company is strongly committed to sustainability. We are proud to actively contribute as a business partner in the day-to-day transformation of the airfreight industry towards a more sustainable future. As a member of the Sustainable Air Freight Alliance (SAFA) we support SAFA’s sustainability dialog between shippers, freight forwarders and airlines to drive the development of the airfreight industry towards sustainable and cleaner airfreight.

Emission Transparency

Cleaner logistics starts with emissions transparency. At Hellmann we have set up capabilities to provide that transparency for our airfreight customers. Emission footprints can be calculated for new as well as historic airfreight traffic in compliance with latest European and Global reporting standards (EN 16258 and GLEC).

Emissions Solutions

To tackle airfreight emissions, we offer a variety of solutions aimed at emission compensation and avoidance. Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), verified carbon offsets, or a change to an integrated Sea-Air solution are among the most effective options available today. At Hellmann, we shape solutions that meet your business needs.
