SEKO Logistics is proud to announce the official partnership with United Airlines in the historic first purchase of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). This multi-million deal is one of United’s most significant SAF purchases to-date. As a key participant in United’s Eco-Skies Alliance, SEKO not only shares in the cost of acquiring lower emission fuels, but also plays a pivotal role in promoting the adoption and integration of SAF across the logistics industry.
SAF, a renewable alternative to traditional kerosene-based jet fuel, offers a practical solution that can be utilized with existing infrastructure, enabling immediate reductions in carbon emissions. With the aviation sector striving to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, SEKO is at the forefront of freight forwarders propelling action towards these goals, leading the charge through education, advocacy and active engagement with its clients and partners.
At SEKO, we embrace the role we play in moving towards a more responsible logistics sector, and this includes advocating for SAF’ s integration into global logistics strategies. This successful partnership not only benefits businesses but also sets a powerful precedent and paves the way for a better future in air transport.
“United Cargo is proud to support SEKO in its commitment to sustainability through the purchase of SAF,” said Jan Krems, President of United Cargo. “This initiative is a shining example of how we’re leading the way in environmental responsibility. By providing SAF, we enable our customers like SEKO to meet their environmental objectives, reinforcing the importance of sustainability in both our operations. We are dedicated to advancing sustainable logistics for a better future.”
“Thanks to SEKO’s commitment, United is able to collaborate with new producers to provide SAF in new locations like Chicago O’Hare International Airport,” said Lauren Riley, Chief Sustainability Officer at United. “Together with SEKO, we’re proving that SAF is an available and viable solution for reducing emissions.”
This partnership aligns with SEKO’s long-term goal of achieving carbon neutrality for all SEKO-owned or controlled facilities and activities by 2050, with SAF serving as a cornerstone of this strategy. By educating clients and facilitating their participation in sustainable practices, SEKO ensures that the transition to cleaner energy sources becomes a reality for the broader industry.
By empowering our clients to actively participate in carbon reduction with SAF, we’re not just meeting our own goals—we’re helping to catalyze a larger movement within the logistics industry. This partnership is a vital step in making cleaner energy sources a reality for everyone involved.
