CMA CGM Air Cargo signs up to IATA CO2 Connect emissions calculator
CMA CGM Air Cargo has signed up to the IATA CO2 Connect emissions calculator to offer more accurate visibility on the carbon footprint of flights and shipments, said to be first airfreight company to do so.
It said in a recent LinkedIn post: “CMA CGM AIR CARGO takes a bold step toward sustainability by joining the IATA CO2 Connect programme at the IATA World Cargo Symposium 2025.
“As the first airfreight company to share CO2emissions data with IATA, we’re driving transparency and enabling more sustainable decisions. CO2 Connect provides reliable, standardised emissions data — helping create a cleaner future for airfreight
.
“This initiative helps CMA CGM AIR CARGO customers take real steps toward more responsible supply chains.”
IATA CO2 Connect displays, monitors, benchmarks and report CO2 emissions from air transport based on primary data from airlines.
CO2 Connect considers airline specific fuel burn for full freighter and passenger aircraft carrying belly freight, airline specific cargo load factors, and passenger load factors to determine how many emissions to attribute to cargo.
