Nike, a global leader in clothing & sportswear, recently signed an agreement with CMA CGM on decarbonizing its supply chain.
Until May 31st, Nike will use sustainable biofuel to transport 36% of its merchandize on the French carrier’s ships. By so doing, Nike will reduce its CO2 emissions by 25,000 tonnes, an important step towards more eco-friendly operations.
According to Olivier Nivoix, the French line’s executive vice president, collaborating with a key player like Nike and taking that important step towards decarbonization was a major achievement. He said that CMA CGM was confident that their success would act as a catalyst, encouraging other carriers and customers to join them on their journey to accelerate the transition to a zero-emissions industry.
