The
Rhenus Group has been nominated by Correios as the Global Logistics
Service Provider for the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP
30). In partnership with the state-owned company, designated as the
Strategic Logistics Operator for the event, Rhenus will manage the
international transport of the United Nations cargo to the climate
conference, which will take place from November 10 – 21 this year in
Belém, Brazil.
The partnership with Correios will leverage Rhenus' international
freight forwarding capabilities to ensure the secure and timely delivery
of critical shipments for one of the world's most significant climate
events. With operations in over 70 countries, Rhenus is leveraging its
global logistics expertise to support the successful execution of the
COP 30 event.
The Rhenus Brazil team is playing a key role in coordinating
international transportation, working closely with Correios. Rhenus is
managing the international logistics process for the UN, starting with
cargo collection in Bonn, Germany, followed by air transport to Brazil
via São Paulo–Guarulhos (GRU) and Viracopos (VCP) airports. Upon
arrival, the cargo will be processed under a temporary admission regime.
Rhenus will also oversee the re-export of the cargo back to Frankfurt
(FRA), ensuring its final delivery to Bonn.
"Partnering with Correios to support COP 30 underscores our commitment
to responsible logistics and global collaboration – for the benefit of
future generations," said Tobias Bartz, CEO of the Rhenus Group. "Brazil
is one of our key global hubs for supply chain operations and an
essential center for our activities across the LATAM region, supported
by our highly skilled local teams. With a strong international network
and deep regional expertise, we are well positioned to strengthen supply
chains throughout Brazil and Latin America. Our participation builds on
our extensive experience, including serving as the official logistics
sponsor for COP 29 last year. We look forward to contributing to the
success of COP 30 and advancing the transition to more sustainable
logistics worldwide."
Rhenus has a proven track record in supporting major international
events of various industries. Last year, the global logistics service
provider demonstrated its capabilities as the Official Logistics Partner
for COP 29 in Baku, Azerbaijan and supported the Belgian Olympic team
at the Summer Games in Paris, managing infrastructure and equipment
logistics across multiple venues. Rhenus also provided logistics support
for a global customer during the Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics, and
recently has been appointed the official freight forwarder for major
trade shows at Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Centre, one of
Saudi Arabia's leading venues for international trade shows.
Delivering Low-Emission Solutions for Sustainable Growth
Rhenus is driving sustainable innovation across the logistics industry
by integrating alternative drive systems, promoting intermodal
transport, and offering smart technologies that reduce emissions across
air, sea, and land. Solutions like RheGreen, an air freight service,
avoid up to 40% of CO₂ emissions by selecting the most efficient
aircraft. Rhenus is setting new benchmarks for low-emissions logistics.
Its digital tools, such as Emissions Dashboard, offer customers clear
visibility into the carbon performance of their shipments, while the
Transport Mode Optimizer enables them to make environmentally
responsible choices by selecting transport modes with lower emissions.
In line with its corporate commitment to achieving a Net-zero target by
2045 through low-carbon solutions, Rhenus has set a goal to reduce
emissions and actively support its customers in making responsible
logistics decisions. To this end, and as part of its contribution to the
goals of COP, Rhenus is providing a detailed report of its emissions
once the operation has been completed, facilitating the control of their
carbon footprint, promoting transparency, and strengthening the
planning of conscious logistics aligned with global sustainability
standards.
