Besi APac signs up for our GoGreen Plus service to reduce shipment emissions by 30%

Besi APac Sdn. Bhd., the Malaysian unit of leading semiconductor assembly equipment manufacturer BE Semiconductor Industries N.V., signed an agreement to join our GoGreen Plus programme to reduce emissions from its time-definite international shipments.

Through investment in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), the collaboration is expected to deliver an estimated reduction of more than 400 tonnes of Well-to-Wheel (WTW) CO₂e.

“Besi is firmly committed to the energy transition and recognises its role in reducing operational emissions through responsible business practices,” said Henk Jan Jonge Poerink, Managing Director of Besi APac and Senior Vice President of Global Operations at Besi N.V. “Our sustainability approach extends to our supply chain activities as we work to integrate environmental considerations into our procurement processes. We see SAF as one of several measures that can help reduce aviation-related emissions and look forward to supporting the scaling of renewable alternatives.”

How GoGreen Plus supports shipment emissions reduction

Launched in 2023, our GoGreen Plus service allows customers to use SAF to lower indirect Scope 3 emissions in their value chains arising from upstream and downstream transportation and distribution.

The service is made possible by SAF contracts we have signed with partners including BP, Neste, Cosmo Energy and Cathay Group.

SAF is made from sustainable feedstocks, such as used cooking oil and other residues. It can reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by around 80 per cent compared with conventional jet fuel.

GoGreen Plus uses a ‘book & claim’ approach. This allows us to replace fossil fuels with sustainable fuels within our network and attribute the associated lifecycle emissions reductions to participating customers, including Besi APac.

These reductions can be attributed even when a customer’s shipments are not physically transported using the assets that consume those fuels.

Supporting Besi’s environmental objectives

Besi APac’s GoGreen Plus subscription applies across its overseas trade lanes, including key markets in Asia Pacific, Europe, the Americas and the Middle East.

The initiative builds on Besi’s 2025–2029 strategic plan, which identifies minimising its environmental footprint as a key objective.

Since 2019, Besi has:

• Reduced its Scope 1 and 2 emission intensity ratio by 98 per cent.
• Reduced its fuel consumption intensity ratio by 67 per cent.
• Increased electricity usage from renewable sources to 99 per cent.

Expanding access to emissions-reduced logistics

“DHL is dedicated to expanding the availability of emissions-reduced logistics solutions, and partnerships like this demonstrate how that ambition is being put into action. Having Besi APac leveraging GoGreen Plus reflects the growing push from forward-looking organisations in long-term emission reduction goals. As we help expand the accessibility of SAF, we will continue championing the technology as a key pathway for making cleaner, low-emission air transport a reality,” said Alex Lee, our Vice President of Commercial at DHL Express Malaysia.

We are one of the largest users of SAF in the world. In 2025, we increased the share of SAF in our own aircraft fleet (Scope 1) to 10 per cent, up from 3.5 per cent the previous year.

Our SAF deployment includes airports around the world, including Amsterdam Schiphol in the Netherlands, Stockholm Arlanda in Sweden, Brussels in Belgium, East Midlands and Stansted in the UK, Leipzig in Germany, and Nagoya in Japan. In the US, it includes Los Angeles, Miami and San Francisco international airports.
