On 30 June, Maersk Line signed a five-year carbon reduction pact with Huawei Technologies, a global leading telecom solutions provider and the world’s third largest mobile phone manufacturer, the company said in its press release.
The key to Huawei’s success is positioning itself as an innovator and thought leader in its field of expertise. To maintain this status amongst its customers, Huawei has taken the next step by signing a strategic carbon pact with Maersk Line.
Head of Maersk Line Greater China Silvia Ding and Huawei Technologies Vice President, Chief Sustainability Officer Alan Aicken present the Carbon Pact certificate.
This agreement integrates both companies’ sustainability commitments to reduce Huawei’s CO2 emissions per container transported with Maersk Line by 18% from 2016 to 2020.
The Carbon Pact with Huawei does not stand alone. In November last year, Maersk Line was also given the praise of being “the excellent core partner” in their annual Core Partner’s Convention.
An aligned implementation plan will be developed to operationalize the carbon pact, manage expectations and track progress over time.
Maersk Line is driving similar agreements with other selected strategic customers in China. This is with the purpose of leveraging on its investments in energy efficiency and carbon reductions and to create further opportunities to expand its business.
