[ATLANTA, GA., January 16, 2024] – JAS Worldwide, a global supply chain and logistics company, has announced its partnership with Lune, a leading provider for funding high quality climate projects. This collaboration will enable JAS customers to contribute to climate projects and compensate for difficult-to-abate logistics emissions.
As the transport and logistics industry contributes approx. 11% of global CO₂ emissions, JAS sees that it has an important role to play in tackling the challenge of reducing the industry’s impact. In addition to reducing CO₂ emissions from freight, JAS aims to extend its influence beyond the logistics value chain and enable its customers to take action by contributing to impactful climate projects around the world. However, navigating this commitment with credibility poses a unique challenge, given the carbon credit market's prevalence of projects with questionable impact and limited transparency.
To enable its customers to contribute to climate projects in a credible way, JAS has selected Lune as its partner for carbon offsetting, because of its shared commitment to transparency and positive impact. By leveraging a rigorous vetting process and comprehensive six-point evaluation criteria, Lune curates a list of high quality climate projects, such as reforestation, mangroves restoration, concrete mineralization, or enhanced rock weathering. The initial projects chosen by JAS Worldwide are aligned with the Oxford Offsetting Principles best-in-class portfolio.
JAS customers will receive transparent information about the projects and their impact as well as a dedicated carbon credit certificate for completed purchases. Transparency and accountability are crucial in today’s complex and ambiguous voluntary carbon markets.
“By offering our customers not only biofuel insetting and network optimization solutions, but also offsetting opportunities through our partnership with Lune, we help them achieve their environmental goals while keeping our promise to make a positive impact.” said Andrea Goeman, SVP QHSE & Sustainability at JAS Worldwide.
“Working with JAS Worldwide, we are excited to bring a new level of integrity and clarity to end-to-end sustainable logistics. Our collaboration sets a new standard for how the logistics sector can contribute to a climate positive world,” added Erik Stadigh, Co-founder and CEO at Lune.
Driven by customer demand and incoming regulation, this partnership is a significant step for JAS Worldwide and Lune as they continue to champion sustainable practices in logistics.

JAS Projects and JAS Sweden are proud to share an exciting achievement in heavy transport, executed deep in northern Sweden near the Polar Circle. This unique project involves the movement of oversized cargo through challenging winter conditions, where temperatures plummet as low as minus 15 degrees Celsius.
The cargos dimensions are impressive:
Transporting such massive loads requires meticulous planning, technical expertise, and flawless teamwork—all of which were on full display as our team worked tirelessly to ensure safe and efficient delivery through the icy terrain.
Luiz Dos Santos, Project Coordinator at JAS Projects, accompanied the operation and shared his firsthand experience. For Luiz, this was his first opportunity to be on-site for a heavy-lift transport, and it proved to be both thrilling and educational:
"A thrilling mission in the far north. I accompanied the heavy transport from start to finish through the icy winter landscape of northern Sweden. It was an extraordinary and impressive experience to see the required precision and flawless teamwork with my own eyes. The execution, as well as the planning, are significantly more complex than they often appear from the desk. So, it was all the more helpful to have experienced the entire process firsthand."
This operation is a testament to the team's commitment to excellence, even in extreme environments. From intricate planning to navigating unpredictable Arctic conditions, the success of this transport highlights our ability to deliver solutions tailored to every challenge.
