Aramex, a leading Dubai-based provider of comprehensive logistics and transportation solutions, announced the appointment of Manosij Ganguli as group chief sustainability officer on Saturday.
According to a company press release, this strategic move highlights its commitment to maintaining and elevating its position as a regional leader in sustainability.
Ganguli joins Aramex with a background in international decarbonization efforts, having previously served at the Energy Transitions Commission and Mission Possible Partnership in London and as the global program director at BP.
In his new role, Ganguli will spearhead Aramex’s sustainability agenda, ensuring that the logistics provider continues to innovate and implement best practices in environmental stewardship.
“My vision is to advance our sustainability agenda by integrating innovative, evidence-based strategies that not only reduce our carbon footprint but also enhance our operational efficiency and stakeholder value,” said Ganguli in the press statement.
The logistics major has been actively pursuing carbon footprint reduction programs, sustainable packaging solutions, implementation of zero and low-emissions delivery vehicles, and development of eco-friendly logistics hubs.
The press release said that most of the energy needs of Aramex warehouses in Dubai, UAE, and Amman, Jordan, are met through photovoltaic systems.
Last year, the company’s carbon footprint reduction efforts included fleet optimization, which substantially reduced emissions and driving distances by streamlining routes and upgrading Aramex trucks to the Euro V emission standard.
Aramex has also boosted its sustainability efforts in the UAE by integrating electric motorcycles into the last-mile delivery market. The aim is to convert 98 percent of the fleet to electric vehicles by 2030.
The press note added that the company is advancing towards reaching its carbon neutrality goal by 2030 and net zero by 2050.
