LATAM Group and Logiztik Alliance Group Offset More Than 560 Tons of CO₂ in Conservation Project in Colombia

October 8, 2025

  • The offset was complemented by emission reductions through the use of SAF, totaling 574 tons of CO₂ managed and allowing Logiztik Alliance to cover nearly 15% of its export emissions from Colombia in 2024 with LATAM Group.
  • The emissions offset initiative is part of LATAM Group’s “1+1 Offset to Conserve” program, which seeks, through collaborative work, to support the conservation of strategic ecosystems in South America.

October 8th, 2025 – Logiztik Alliance Colombia and LATAM Group managed 574.8 tons of CO₂ associated with Logiztik’s exports transported via LATAM Group cargo subsidiaries in 2024. This achievement was made possible through a combination of two complementary actions: emission reductions from the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) under the Book and Claim or Mass Balance methodologies, and offsets through the “1+1: Offset to Conserve” program.

In total, 566.89 tons of CO₂ were offset through conservation projects in South America, while the remaining portion corresponded to emission reductions achieved via SAF. This impact is equivalent to the annual emissions of 125 cars, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Through this initiative, Logiztik Alliance managed approximately 15% of its export emissions from Colombia in 2024 in partnership with LATAM Group.

“Together with Logiztik Alliance, we share the conviction that managing industry emissions requires multiple solutions. This collaboration, combining strategic SAF use with high-impact conservation projects, is a concrete example of how, working alongside our clients, we can advance measurable actions toward net-zero emissions by 2050 and promote air logistics that integrate climate change management solutions across South America,” said Cristina Oñate, VP of Sustainability and Product at LATAM Cargo Group.

Jaime Muñoz, General Manager of Logiztik Alliance Colombia, emphasized that “in a context where the market and international regulations demand greater environmental responsibility, acting with commitment is not only a duty but also a strategic necessity. We have always believed in the power of combining efforts. This partnership with LATAM allows us to continue paving the way, demonstrating that efficiency, innovation, and climate action can go hand in hand in every international operation. We invite our clients to join these initiatives to multiply the positive impact.”

The Sustainable Aviation Fuel used was produced by Neste MY SAF™, derived from animal fat and blended with conventional jet fuel, enabling up to a 74% reduction in lifecycle emissions compared to traditional fuels.

Additionally, the offset contribution from LATAM and Logiztik Alliance supported CO2Bio, an internationally certified project under the BioCarbon Standard, recognized for its high environmental and social value in Colombia. The project focuses on protecting the floodplain savannas in the Colombian Orinoquía region.

 

About Decarbonization Alternatives

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is produced from alternative feedstocks such as waste, fats, and oils, among others, and must meet sustainability requirements, including avoiding competition with food production, limiting water use, and reducing lifecycle carbon emissions.

In its climate change strategy, LATAM Group has defined four work fronts: reducing emissions through operational efficiency and best practices, incorporating new technologies such as fleet renewal, transitioning to more sustainable fuels as they become available, and, as a complementary measure, offsetting emissions through the conservation of high-value strategic ecosystems.

In this framework, LATAM Group seeks to meet the needs of its cargo clients, enabling them to reduce emissions via SAF and complement those reductions with offsets through the “1+1: Offset to Conserve” program. This program allows clients to cover only 50% of the offset cost, with LATAM Group assuming the remaining 50%.
