Doha, Qatar: In a significant stride towards environmental sustainability, QNB Group, the largest financial institution in the Middle East and Africa, has collaborated with DHL, the global leader in the logistics industry, and signed an agreement to utilise Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to enhance its shipping solutions.
This collaboration underscores the Bank’s commitment to sustainability and aligns with the Group’s strategy to reduce carbon footprints by integrating more environmentally friendly sources into its operations.
Through the GoGreen Plus base contract, QNB pledges that its upcoming shipments will achieve a reduction of CO2 emissions by 50% for all express shipments via air transport. This initiative not only supports its sustainability goals but also enables the Bank to offer its clients climate-neutral shipping options that incorporate accurate CO2 emissions calculations.
Key benefits of the partnership with DHL also include SGS Certification, to ensure compliance with the highest standards of sustainability.
Eco-Friendly Transportation, a provision of an electric car exclusively for bank during service provision, in addition to recycled materials through the utilization of envelopes and parcels made entirely from recycled supplies.
