Dnata backs green credentials with USD100 million investment
dnata plans to invest US$100 million in green operations over the next two years.
The goal is to enhance environmental efficiency across its global network.
The company’s ongoing investment in infrastructure, equipment and process improvement will support the reduction of its carbon footprint 20% by 2024, and by 50% by 2030.
Steve Allen, CEO of dnata Group, said: “We’ve been making great progress on reducing our carbon footprint. We will further increase our investments and efforts in strong cooperation with our partners .”
In recent years dnata has invested in advanced tech to optimise resources.
It installed renewable energy features, such as solar panels, heat recovery units and electric vehicle charging, at its facilities in the UK, Singapore and Ireland.
Choosing green options is a prime consideration in dnata’s fleet planning, too.
It has increased investments in electric and hybrid ramp, ground support (GSE).
As a result, dnata became the first ground handler to successfully complete green aircraft turnarounds using only zero-emission GSE in the USA and UAE.
dnata has also taken initiatives across its business units to conserve water consumption and recycle materials, such as paper, plastic, cardboard, wood, glass, metal, used cooking and mineral oils.
Earlier this year, the company committed to reducing its waste to landfill by 20% by 2024.
dnata Travel Group in the UK has invested in green tech and introduced new business practices.
It switched to renewable energy to take all electricity from green sources at all of its offices, cut out single-use plastic from its operations, reduced paper consumption and implemented a zero to landfill policy.
It replaced 80% of its fleet with electric or hybrid cars with a target to operate a fully green fleet by 2024.
dnata offers ground handling, cargo, travel, catering and retail services in 36 countries across six continents.
