All Nippon Airways (ANA) and the Oslo-based software company CHOOOSE AS (Chooose), which develops solutions for the value chain of low-carbon fuels, have significantly expanded their partnership. The goal is to further develop the corporate customer and cargo programs of ANA’s SAF Flight Initiative (SFI) and make it significantly easier for companies to participate. Together with their customers, ANA and Chooose aim to accelerate the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Through the SAF Flight Initiative, ANA is actively engaging customers and partners in this effort.
As part of the expanded agreement, ANA is integrating Chooose’s digital platform into SFI’s corporate and cargo programs. Participating companies can use it to calculate and track the greenhouse gas emissions from their actual business travel and cargo shipments on ANA flights. In addition, they can purchase online the environmental credits generated by using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and receive verification of the CO₂ reduction achieved. They can use these credits to reduce their so-called Scope 3 emissions.These are the indirect emissions in a company’s value chain – such as those from business travel, the transport of goods, or employees’ commutes – as opposed to direct emissions from the company’s own operations (Scope 1) and emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2).
“We are very pleased to strengthen our partnership with Chooose through this comprehensive agreement,” says Naohiro Terakawa, Executive Vice President of All Nippon Airways. “With our enhanced programs for corporate and cargo customers, we are making it easier for our customers to participate and promoting the wider adoption of SAF. Together with our customers and partners, we will continue on this path and work toward the ANA Group’s goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.”
Joseph Beaudin, CEO of Chooose, adds: “Earlier this year, ANA and Chooose made it possible for individual travelers to participate in the use of SAF. The expanded partnership builds on this: We are further developing the existing programs for corporate and cargo customers while also supporting ANA in integrating its internal SAF processes into our platform. We are honored to continue driving the adoption of SAF together with ANA.”
