Dnata cuts CO2 emissions by 80 tonnes...

The company aims to reduce its carbon footprint and waste to landfill by 20% by 2024

Dnata continues to take initiatives to reduce its environmental footprint across its operations in the UAE.

Dnata’s group brands have recently converted their vehicles to run on a biofuel blend and so far the move has saved 80 tonnes of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions per year, equivalent to more than 198,838 miles driven by an average petrol-powered car.

In June 2022, dnata announced it would invest US$100 million in green operations to further enhance its environmental efficiency globally.

The latest initiative is part of efforts to reduce its carbon footprint and waste to landfill by 20% by 2024, in line with its two-year green strategy.

Steve Allen, chief executive at Dnata Group, said: “We will continue to invest in our operations, including large-scale infrastructure solutions, to further enhance our sustainability performance and achieve our green operations targets.”
