Belimo drives greenhouse gas emissions reduction through SAF and strategic collaboration with Swiss WorldCargo and Lamprecht Transport
In a significant step toward sustainable logistics, Swiss-based Belimo Automation AG, a global leader in HVAC field devices, has partnered with Swiss companies Lamprecht Transport and Swiss WorldCargo to reduce carbon emissions on international air freight shipments. By investing in Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), the initiative will mitigate approximately 650 tons of CO₂e emissions in its first year of operation, with the ambition to further increase the percentage of SAF used in subsequent years – marking a tangible contribution to the decarbonization of air cargo.
This partnership represents a best-practice example of a tri-partite collaboration between a shipper, freight forwarder, and airline’s cargo division. It demonstrates how collective action can drive meaningful progress on the path to more sustainable freight transport.
John Muncey, Head of Group Transportation at Belimo, says:
At Belimo, sustainability is an integral part of our corporate strategy,
“This investment in Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is not just about reducing emissions — it’s about taking direct responsibility for our environmental impact and working with our trusted partners to drive meaningful change”.
Lamprecht Transport coordinated the logistics, while Swiss WorldCargo facilitated the SAF integration within its cargo operations. The SAF used in this collaboration is certified and contributes to an immediate reduction in lifecycle emissions compared to conventional jet fuel.
Gieri Hinnen, Head of Global Sales at Swiss WorldCargo, says:
We are proud to be part of this joint effort,
“By working hand in hand with like-minded partners, we’re taking concrete steps toward our shared ambition of more sustainable air logistics.”
This initiative reinforces the importance of supply chain collaboration and supports broader industry goals to accelerate the use of SAF and reduce the climate impact of aviation.
