Aramex Boosts Sustainability with New CSO Appointment
Aramex, a global leader in logistics and transportation, has appointed Manosij Ganguli as Group Chief Sustainability Officer. This move signals Aramex’s deepening commitment to sustainability as a core aspect of its operations.
Strategic Leadership in Sustainability
Ganguli, who has led global decarbonization programs at the Energy Transitions Commission, Mission Possible Partnership (MPP), and BP, brings extensive experience to Aramex. He expressed his vision for the role, stating, “I am honoured to join Aramex at such a transformative time in its sustainability journey. Aramex has already set a remarkable precedent in environmental stewardship, and I am eager to build on this solid foundation.“
Carbon Reduction Milestones
Under Ganguli’s leadership, Aramex will push forward its ambitious goals of Carbon Neutrality by 2030 and Net Zero by 2050. In 2023, Aramex achieved a 12% reduction in carbon emissions per shipment. The company plans to submit its carbon reduction targets to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) this year, aligning with a 1.5°C trajectory for Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 2°C trajectory for Scope 3 emissions.
Innovations in Sustainable Operations
Aramex’s sustainability strategy is driven by evidence-based innovations. The company has already integrated solar energy systems across its key warehouses in Dubai and Amman, covering the majority of their energy needs. Fleet optimization, including the adoption of electric motorcycles in the UAE, has reduced emissions and is part of a broader plan to electrify 98% of the fleet by 2030.
