Rhenus provides sustainable ocean freight solutions and is committed to achieving 100 percent carbon neutrality for its FCL and LCL services by 2045 and 2030 respectively.
Rhenus is passionate about the reduction of emissions that comply with international standards. Alongside the development of alternative drives and sustainable transport solutions, Rhenus offsets its carbon dioxide emissions with CMA/CGM+ for France and compensates outstanding carbon emissions for its FCL shipments through a partnership with CNC for the intra-Asia trade lanes.
As a partnership initiative, Rhenus and the intra-Asian short-sea specialist CNC offer a 100 percent carbon-free transport solution for full-container loads (FCL) along intra-Asian trade lanes at no additional cost. CNC invests in forestry, renewable energy, blue carbon and high social impact projects. The partnership with CNC aims to provide customers with tools and options to understand and reduce their environmental footprint, as well as compensate on the remaining emissions. Projects available are compliant with environmental declaration ISO norms and are third-party verified. A transparent and documented framework for each project is available to companies upon request by the customers.
As part of a commitment to neutralise the carbon emissions of all less-than-container-load (LCL) products by 2030, cargo shipped with the Rhenus Consolidation Box out of the Hilden Gateway to all destinations will be carbon-neutral, with no additional costs to customers. Rhenus is working with ClimatePartner, an independent consultancy, to verify the calculation methodology and offset the amount through verified and audited carbon offset projects.
Rhenus is partnering with a globally recognised emission calculation service provider, EcoTransIT, whose methodology is compliant with IATA/ICAO and EN 16258, includes GLEC-compliant calculation and meets the requirements of ISO14083. The sources of calculations are updated continuously by our methodology partners and brought up to date.
A carbon offset scheme allows Rhenus to invest in environmental projects that promote a reduction of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, a decrease in reliance on fossil fuels or the introduction of energy-efficient methods or technology to under-developed communities around the world. The offset projects which we are investing in will have credible international standards such as Gold Standard or Verra Carbon Standard.
At Rhenus we believe in strong relationships. That’s why we prioritise assigning a unique single point of contact to each customer. From the very beginning, all our clients can rely on a dedicated team that will guide them throughout the entire process.
There is no extra application needed. All export consolidation shipments from the Hilden Gateway are made carbon-neutral with no extra charge to the customer. All offsetting costs from this campaign are absorbed by Rhenus.
