DHL has achieved a 10% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) blending ratio in 2025, marking a significant milestone in the company’s efforts to decarbonize air logistics operations.
The achievement reflects DHL’s broader sustainability strategy focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions across its global transport and supply chain network.
SAF is considered a key tool for lowering lifecycle carbon emissions in aviation, as it can be used with existing aircraft and infrastructure while offering a lower-emission alternative to conventional jet fuel.
Industry observers say reaching a double-digit blending ratio demonstrates growing momentum in corporate adoption of cleaner fuels despite challenges related to limited supply and higher costs.
The milestone is expected to support DHL’s long-term climate targets while encouraging wider collaboration with airlines, fuel producers, and logistics partners to scale SAF availability.
As pressure increases on the aviation sector to cut emissions, DHL’s progress highlights the rising role of large logistics companies in accelerating sustainable fuel demand and adoption.
