Dubai – Mubasher: Aramex has signed a commitment with the Science-Based Target initiative (SBTi) to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.

The initiative is in line with Aramex's sustainability strategy to reduce its impact on the environment, decrease energy consumption, and ensure that the company’s progress towards net zero carbon is aligned with climate science, according to a press release on Sunday.
