SHEIN teams up with Lufthansa on SAF

Global online retailer SHEIN said has entered in an agreement with Lufthansa Cargo to decarbonise air freight through increase use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) over the next six months.

The two companies confirmed their intention to finalise the adoption of SAF offsetting solutions for SHEIN deliveries.

As part of this initiative, Lufthansa Cargo will provide high-quality proof of sustainability certificates for the used SAF. The certificates will be externally verified.

“Lufthansa Cargo has extensive experience in driving the adoption of SAF and will provide SHEIN with opportunities to adopt lower-carbon air cargo options,” said Ethan Shen, SHEIN’s general manager of Global Fulfillment.

“Through this partnership, we aim to pilot and gradually expand the use of SAF where feasible, while continuing to explore additional ways to reduce the carbon footprint across our delivery network.”

Additionally, the two signatories are exploring further areas of cooperation, such as knowledge exchanges and approaches to strengthen traceability and reporting of operational and environmental data.

“Signing this memorandum with SHEIN represents Lufthansa Cargo’s commitment to implementing high-performance logistics solutions responsibly and with operational excellence,” said Ashwin Bhat, CEO of Lufthansa Cargo.
