AFFIN Group has reinforced its commitment to environmental responsibility by joining DHL Express’ GoGreen Plus programme to use sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The service supports the Group’s target to reduce the carbon emissions associated with its time-definite international shipments by 70 percent.

“AFFIN Group is delighted about our commitment to advancing our business operations towards greener practices, marking us as the first Malaysian bank to sign up for the GoGreen Plus service for sustainable shipping. Alternative energy, such as SAF, serves as a key decarbonisation lever and provides a pathway for Malaysia to accelerate progress on our net-zero ambitions. This initiative exemplifies our role as a catalyst for change in implementing climate-neutral practices in the financial services sector,” said Datuk Wan Razly Abdullah, President & Group Chief Executive Officer of Affin Bank Berhad.

“We always align our values with those of the communities we serve, and caring for the planet has never been more important to all of us. Businesses that leverage SAF can help to catalyse the wider use of this technology and its transformative potential to shape a more sustainable future. We are delighted to have AFFIN Group come onboard as we continue to provide accessible means to green transition,” said Julian Neo, Managing Director of DHL Express Malaysia.
