Lufthansa Cargo has today announced the signing of a new binding SAF agreement with CEVA Logistics. The agreement signed at the CEVA Airfreight Annual Strategic Partners Council in Paris.

On Wednesday (November 26, 2025), announced that their Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with CEVA Logistics last summer for the use of SAF has now been converted into a binding agreement. The firm agreement was signed on Friday, November 21, 2025 at CEVA Logistics’ Airfreight Annual Strategic Partners Council in Paris. The company has committed to using SAF, credited in 2025, which corresponds to a reduction of 8,000 tons of CO₂. The formalization of the MoU into a long-term framework agreement, which will run until the end of 2028, is an expression of a trusting cooperation that has grown over many years and is based on openness, continuous exchange, and mutual learning.
In Wednesday’s announcement, CEVA Logistics’ VP - Global Air & Ocean Products, Loic Gay, said,
“The agreement is a significant step in our partnership with Lufthansa Cargo and enables us to measurably reduce our CO₂ emissions and make our supply chains more sustainable. It is particularly important to us to do this with a partner who is committed to maximum transparency, clear sustainability standards, and reliable certifications.”
Also commenting on the new SAF agreement, Lufthansa Cargo’s Head of Global Markets, Anand Kulkarni, said,
“CEVA Logistics’ decision to make extensive use of SAF demonstrates its clear commitment to making an effective contribution to the decarbonization of air freight. Climate protection requires strong partnerships and decisive action. This agreement creates a solid foundation for achieving further progress together.”
Additionally, the agreement structures further cooperation in the area of SAF and enables further measures to be taken in the future. The SAF used comes exclusively from waste and residual materials, is palm oil-free, and meets the highest international standards. The emission reductions are transparently confirmed to CEVA Logistics via audited ‘Emission Mitigation Certificates’ and are based on an audited ‘Proof of Sustainability’ (PoS) at Lufthansa Cargo.
