Kuehne+Nagel Australia is providing streetwear brand Afends seamless CO2 neutralization services for their full container load shipments. According to the Australian National University, transport is the second-largest source of carbon emissions in Australia after electricity production.

With its Net Zero Carbon program, Kuehne+Nagel provides environmentally friendly and sustainable supply chain solutions, enabling like-minded customers such as Afends to fully neutralize the CO2 emissions of their supply chains.

Dane Ward, head of sales and digital at Afends, said, “Afends is committed to being environmentally and socio-economically sustainable in all facets of our company. We look forward to partnerships with suppliers that share a common vision of sustainability and creating a positive change. For this reason, we are excited to be a part of Kuehne+Nagel’s Net Zero Carbon program to measure, reduce and offset our carbon emissions.”

To support these efforts and beyond, Kuehne+Nagel Australia will provide Afends a solution for complete CO2 neutralization of their supply chain including sustainable service offerings for full-container load shipments, transparent carbon emissions reports, CO2 route planning and offsetting of remaining emissions via certified carbon credits from investments in nature-based projects.

“A partnership with Afends in conjunction with our Net Zero Carbon program is another step in the right direction, displaying a dedication to a sustainable future. We look forward to a long relationship that not only delivers mutual benefits but for the environment also,” added Bjoern Johansson, managing director, Kuehne+Nagel Australia.
