By centralizing our logistics operations at Maersk, we have optimized our supply chain, leading to a 5% reduction in carbon emissions. This is a substantial step towards our ambitious global net-zero emissions goal by 2039 and 40% carbon reduction by 2030. Moreover, the center is powered by 70% renewable electricity through an extensive array of solar panels.
The launch ceremony, held on August 21st, was a testament to the collaborative efforts and shared vision of all parties involved. It was graced by Maersk's global leadership, the Saudi Logistics Minister, the Head of the Saudi Port Authority, and our leadership team. The event was not just a celebration of the physical infrastructure, but also of the shared commitment to a sustainable future.
This milestone is more than an operational achievement; it is a reflection of our dedication to innovation, sustainability, and partnership. By working closely with Maersk and leveraging their expertise in logistics, we have made a tangible impact on our carbon footprint and moved closer to our goal of a more sustainable planet for all.
