LATAM Group and Logiztik Alliance Group offset more than 560 tons of CO₂

  • LATAM Group and Logiztik Alliance managed 574 tonnes of CO₂ in 2024 through a mix of Sustainable Aviation Fuel use and conservation offsets, covering nearly 15 percent of Logiztik’s export emissions from Colombia and advancing measurable progress toward net-zero goals.
  • The initiative, part of LATAM’s “1+1: Offset to Conserve” program, supports the CO2Bio project in Colombia’s Orinoquía region, protecting floodplain savannas while promoting biodiversity and social value through certified carbon offsets.
  • Combining Neste MY SAF™, derived from animal fat with up to 74% lifecycle emission reductions, and shared-cost offsetting, the partnership showcases a scalable model for integrating efficiency, innovation, and climate responsibility in air logistics across South America.

Logiztik Alliance Colombia and the LATAM Group managed 574.8 tonnes of CO₂ associated with Logiztik’s exports transported via LATAM Group’s cargo subsidiaries in 2024. This achievement was made possible through a combination of two complementary actions: emission reductions from the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) under the Book-and-Claim or Mass-Balance methodologies, and offsets through the “1+1: Offset to Conserve” programme.

In total, 566.89 tonnes of CO₂ were offset through conservation projects in South America, while the remaining portion corresponded to emission reductions achieved via SAF. This impact is equivalent to the annual emissions of 125 cars, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency. Through this initiative, Logiztik Alliance managed approximately 15 percent of its export emissions from Colombia in 2024 in partnership with the LATAM Group.

“Together with Logiztik Alliance, we share the conviction that managing industry emissions requires multiple solutions. This collaboration, combining strategic SAF use with high-impact conservation projects, is a concrete example of how, working alongside our clients, we can advance measurable actions towards net-zero emissions by 2050 and promote airfreight logistics that integrate climate change management solutions across South America,” said Cristina Oñate, VP of Sustainability and Product at LATAM Cargo Group.

Jaime Muñoz, General Manager of Logiztik Alliance Colombia, emphasised that “in a context where the market and international regulations demand greater environmental responsibility, acting with commitment is not only a duty but also a strategic necessity. We have always believed in the power of combining efforts. This partnership with LATAM allows us to continue paving the way, demonstrating that efficiency, innovation, and climate action can go hand in hand in every international operation. We invite our clients to join these initiatives to multiply the positive impact.”

The Sustainable Aviation Fuel used was produced by Neste MY SAF™, derived from animal fat and blended with conventional jet fuel, enabling up to a 74 percent reduction in life-cycle emissions compared with traditional fuels.

Additionally, the offset contribution from LATAM and Logiztik Alliance supported CO2Bio, an internationally certified project under the BioCarbon Standard, recognised for its high environmental and social value in Colombia. The project focuses on protecting the floodplain savannas in the Colombian Orinoquía region.
