CWT and Squake announced March 19 a global partnership that will support the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in the business-travel industry, at scale.

Enabled by Squake’s CO2 Solution Suite, the partnership will empower CWT’s global client network to mitigate carbon emissions from business travel with Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel™.

In the initial phase of the partnership, CWT’s clients will be able to use Neste Impact to reduce carbon emissions via the Squake platform.

The entire process, from purchasing to using SAF and certificate creation, is fully automated and operated via Squake’s tech infrastructure.

Clients can access detailed information on their respective order via Squake’s Trust Page and self-service management system.

The two companies will also work together to raise awareness in the market about different sustainable travel solutions and strategies.

This will include equipping corporate-travel buyers with the latest insights and in-depth expertise on SAF, alongside other high-quality carbon-removal offerings such as direct air capture or biochar, which are also accessible via Squake. 

“This partnership realizes the core purpose of our solution—connecting change and decision makers at scale to maximize and accelerate the sustainable transformation of the travel industry,” said Philipp von Lamezan, CEO and co-founder of Squake. “Being trusted by such forward-thinking market leaders is further proof of the scalability and relevance of our solution.”

Richard Thompson, global head of ESG and employee experience with CWT, added, “SAF presents a highly promising pathway for decarbonizing air travel, and so we’ve been looking closely at different solutions in this space to support our customers’ sustainability goals. Squake has one of the most innovative products in the market, which will enable our clients to access Neste’s world-class sustainable aviation fuel as well as other impactful climate projects.”

Susanne Bouma with Neste said, “The partnership between CWT and Squake makes our Neste Impact solution available to a much wider audience. This will enable a significant reduction of air-travel emissions by using Neste’s SAF as well as helping to drive the acceleration of SAF production and usage.”

SAF is a renewable aviation fuel that provides a more sustainable alternative to conventional, fossil-based jet fuel.

It is widely recognized as one of the key solutions for achieving the aviation sector’s emission-reduction goals.

Neste is the world’s leading producer of SAF and using its Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel reduces greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions by up to 80 percent compared to using fossil jet fuel.

Squake holds an ISO 27001 certification for excellent data-security management and is TÜV certified as Verified Compensation Provider (TN-CC-020).
