CMA CGM Group has proudly announced a strategic collaboration with global sportswear giant Nike to reduce the carbon footprint associated with maritime transport. This initiative is a pivotal step forward in both companies’ commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2050 and underscores their dedication to environmentally friendly practices within the supply chain.
A Sustainable Partnership for Progress
Nike, renowned as a leader in the apparel and sportswear industry, has entered into an agreement with CMA CGM to integrate sustainable biofuel into a significant portion of their maritime transport operations. This forward-thinking initiative is poised to play a key role in the larger effort to decarbonize Nike’s extensive supply chain.
Starting from July 1, 2023, to May 31, 2024, Nike will utilize sustainable biofuel for 36% of their volume transported in collaboration with CMA CGM. This targeted approach is expected to result in a substantial reduction of 25,000 tons of CO2 emissions, marking a considerable stride towards achieving greener and more sustainable business operations.
