Aras Cargo, which engages in sustainability initiatives like afforestation and coastal cleaning, received these prestigious certificates from Enerjisa Commodities for its 2022 and 2023 efforts. The GOLD certificate recognizes Aras Cargo's determination to balance carbon emissions and its environmental sensitivity.

The certificate ceremony was hosted by Enerjisa Commodities and attended by Aras Cargo CFO Barbara Hagen and Enerjisa Commodities Managing Director Yusuf İlimsever. Following the signatures, Aras Cargo was presented with its certificates.
Barbara Hagen emphasized Aras Cargo's aim to reach a net-zero carbon footprint by 2050, aligning with the Austrian Post Office group's target.
