DHL Supply Chain is helping a customer reduce its carbon footprint by expanding its contract with Suntory Beverage & Food to include running low and zero carbon fuels and technologies.
It said that by introducing HVO fuel and biogas into its operations with the Lucozade and Ribena maker it could achieve a Scope 3 reduction of over 2,300 tonnes of CO2e annually.
DHL added that it had already significantly improved efficiencies in the Suntory supply chain by eliminating 130,000 road miles a year, by managing co-packing, storage, and distribution from one location.
Katharina Tomoff, senior VP Global ESG at DHL Supply Chain, said: “This collaboration is a great step in the right direction for SBF GB&I and highlights the real impact strong partnerships can have when both parties have a mutual goal.”
Suntory said it had seen “an impressive improvement” in its logistics efficiency since working with DHL: “Having made our commitment to deploying more sustainable solutions clear from the very start, DHL has been the perfect partner in helping us cut our carbon footprint and deliver effective supply chain solutions that will have a long-term impact,” added Karl Ottomar, Suntory supply chain director.
