Low-emission logistics for lifesaving impact: Nutriset’s partnership with Kuehne+Nagel
Through its partnership with Kuehne+Nagel, Nutriset seamlessly combines reliable logistics for life-saving nutritional products with environmental sustainability via a low-carbon transport solution. This collaboration aligns perfectly with both companies’ ESG ambitions.
A mission with a societal purpose
For over 30 years, Nutriset has been at the forefront of the effort against malnutrition, delivering innovative and accessible nutritional solutions to vulnerable populations around the globe, with a strong focus on Africa and the Middle East. “Our mission goes beyond the products we create. Every step in our supply chain must reflect our values of social and environmental responsibility,” says Raphael Quesnel, Logistics Manager at Nutriset. 
A partner for sustainability and resilience
To address Nutriset’s logistics challenges, Kuehne+Nagel has developed a solution to enhance delivery reliability while reducing environmental impact. “We chose Kuehne+Nagel for their expertise in low-carbon logistics solutions and their ability to ensure the resilience of our operations, which are vital to our mission of ending malnutrition globally,” adds Raphael.
A prime example of this partnership is the implementation of a dedicated daily shuttle between Nutriset’s production facility near Rouen and its hub in Le Havre, France. Powered entirely by Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), a more sustainable alternative to diesel, this solution has allowed to reduce Nutriset's CO2e emissions by 83%* while maintaining smooth supply chain operations.
Measurable results with tangible impact 
In just five months, this initiative has successfully cut 77 tons* of CO2e emissions, underscoring Nutriset’s commitment to a more sustainable supply chain. “For us, it’s not just about numbers. Every tonne of CO2e saved reflects our dedication to creating a positive impact for both the communities we serve and the planet,” emphasises Raphael Quesnel.
ESG in action
This collaboration demonstrates how Nutriset and Kuehne+Nagel are tackling both environmental and societal challenges together.
By incorporating low-carbon solutions into their operations, they demonstrate how resilience and sustainability can work together to support humanitarian causes. “This partnership is about more than logistics. It represents our shared commitment to building a future where sustainability and social responsibility work hand in hand,” concludes Raphael.
Looking ahead: a sustainable future
Nutriset and Kuehne+Nagel are committed to continuing their collaboration, exploring new ways to further reduce their environmental footprint.
