Aramex Taps Manosij Ganguli as Chief Sustainability Officer to Drive Clear Roadmap on Environmental Issues.
Global logistics leader Aramex has made a gigantic leap toward pressing its agenda for sustainability with the confirmation of Manosij Ganguli as Group Chief Sustainability Officer. The move is aligned with the company’s wider vision of integrating sustainability into its operations. With its eyes on carbon neutrality by 2030, this strategic appointment underlines its commitment to taking the lead in environmental stewardship for the logistics industry.
Strategic Leadership in Delivering Sustainability
Involving a global decarbonization expert, Manosij Ganguli, on board further underlines how deepened the issues of sustainability have become at Aramex. Ganguli has led organizations such as the Energy Transitions Commission, Mission Possible Partnership, and BP in furthering decarbonization strategies in the past. With such vast experience, he would be helpful in fast-tracking the sustainability agenda at Aramex.
Ganguli said he is hugely honored to be joining Aramex at such a transformational time in the journey toward sustainability. Much precedence in environmental stewardship has already been set, and it is even stronger, so he looks forward to building on that.
His appointment aligns with the wider vision that Aramex has of putting sustainability into every level of operations, from energy-efficient infrastructure to green logistics solutions. With the company well on its way to positioning itself as one in which sustainability is critical, Ganguli’s experience will be critical in hitting ambitious environmental targets.
Significant Carbon Reduction Milestones
Aramex has already made significant strides in reducing its environmental footprint. In 2023, the company reported a 12% reduction in carbon emissions per shipment—a crucial achievement that reinforces its commitment to lowering emissions. This milestone is part of a larger strategy aimed at achieving Carbon Neutrality by 2030 and Net Zero emissions by 2050.
Aramex plans to present its targets for reducing carbon emissions under the Science Based Targets initiative this year. The targets set are aligned with the 1.5°C trajectory for Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 2°C trajectory for Scope 3, so it aligns with the company’s goals, as established by the current science on climate. These are globally recognized standards that Aramex is using to set a high benchmark among other companies within the logistics and transportation industry.
The company is focused on decarbonization across all operations, driven by Ganguli himself. With a background in leading global initiatives, he brings strategic insight into how Aramex will sail through these complex challenges of reducing carbon emissions without bridling business growth.
Sustainable Operations Innovation
Aramex has an innovation and evidence-based sustainability strategy. Evidence in this regard includes substantial investments made in renewable energy and green infrastructure. Some key warehouses in Dubai and Amman are fully equipped with solar energy systems that can cover most of their energy requirements from sustainable sources. These solar installations not only help reduce the carbon footprint of the company but also provide cost savings in the long term, which adds up towards operational efficiency.
The logistics leader has also made headway in transforming its fleet of vehicles. In the UAE, Aramex launched electric motorcycles as part of a greater plan for the electrification of 98% of its fleet by the year 2030. The fleet optimization efforts have already achieved quantifiable reductions of emissions; further investment in green technology confirms the attainment of set sustainability goals.
He pointed out the imperative role of these innovations: “My vision is to advance our agenda on sustainability by integrating innovative evidence-based strategies that reduce our carbon footprint, while improving operational efficiency and stakeholder value.” This holistic approach melds environmental responsibility with business performance and guarantees that sustainability stays a core driver of growth and value creation.
A Strategic Commitment to Environmental Stewardship
The appointment of a chief sustainability officer by Aramex speaks right to the strategic approach taken by the company in handling environmental challenges. In this respect, Aramex does not view embedding sustainability into its business model solely with carbon reduction imperatives but also very much as creating value for its stakeholders in the long run. Its leadership in this regard is likely to raise new standards for the logistics industry and impel others to emulate its example.
In a world wrestling with the effects of climate change, leadership by Aramex in the area of sustainability will be a telling contribution to global efforts hoping to help create a better future. Under the guidance of Manosij Ganguli, Aramex has already got down to serious business on the pathway to achieving some stiff sustainability targets while continuing to offer radical green logistic solutions to customers around the world.
