Lufthansa Cargo and CEVA Logistics have converted their Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the use of SAF, announced in the summer, into a binding agreement. The agreement was signed on November 21 at CEVA Logistics' Airfreight Annual Strategic Partners Council in Paris. The company has committed to using SAF, credited in 2025, which corresponds to a reduction of 8,000 tons of CO₂.

The decision to formalize the MoU in a long-term framework agreement running until the end of 2028 is an expression of a trusting cooperation that has grown over many years and is based on openness, continuous exchange, and mutual learning. “The agreement is a significant step in our partnership with Lufthansa Cargo and enables us to measurably reduce our CO₂ emissions and make our supply chains more sustainable. It is particularly important to us to do this with a partner who is committed to maximum transparency, clear sustainability standards, and reliable certifications,” says Loic Gay, Global Air & Ocean Products VP at CEVA Logistics.

For Lufthansa Cargo, the new agreement is another clear sign of the close and constructive cooperation with CEVA Logistics, which has proven particularly valuable in strategic future-oriented topics such as sustainability. Both companies are committed to open exchange and to promoting solutions that have a real impact. "CEVA Logistics' decision to make extensive use of SAF demonstrates its clear commitment to making an effective contribution to the decarbonization of air freight. Climate protection requires strong partnerships and decisive action. This agreement creates a solid foundation for achieving further progress together," says Anand Kulkarni, Head of Global Markets at Lufthansa Cargo.
