To be a company, developing together with society,
challenges to realize a sustainable world shall be tackled.
ANA Cargo will contribute to realize a sustainable society through the cargo business.
Aiming to realize a sustainable society and to enhance the corporate value, ESG management, considering the "Environment", "Social", and "Governance", is promoted. Under the slogan, "ANA Future Promise", upon having the kind understanding and cooperation of the valued customers, the initiatives are to be implemented and the SDGs achieved by the entire ANA group.
SDGs ANA Cargo is contributing to
To achieve the SDGs, ANA group is accelerating its initiatives by the "10 years' actions" to be taken until 2030. ANA Cargo is contributing to the following actions.
Main initiatives taken for SDGs
ANA Cargo is promoting air transportation's CO2 emission reduction by utilizing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), etc. Besides this, in order to contribute to achievement of the environmental objectives, realization of various services is pursued.
SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel)
The sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is to replace fossil fuel, produced from renewable energy sources such as used waste oil.
ANA Cargo has established a new joint program with the customers, "SAF Flight Initiative: For the Next Generation", to promote CO2 emission reduction in the industrial value chains.
In cooperation with the leading companies tackling reduction of CO2 in the value chain, decarbonization and enhancing SAF utilization for air transportation shall be further promoted in the future.
Outline
- Partial space of freighter flight is sold as utilizing the SAF
- "SAF premium rate" is applied instead of the usual price
- Upon utilizing SAF, "CO2 reduction certificate" is issued by ANA
Applicable route
- NRT departure freighter routes
Issuance of certificate
- CO2 reduction certificate, authorized by the third-party organization, is issued
Merits of participating in the program
- Substantial reduction of the CO2 emission (Category 4, 9 of Scope 3) caused by the transportation/delivery (upstream/downstream) through the business value chain
- Contribution to climate change countermeasures, and ESG management promotion (appeal to the public)
- Provide corporate symbol, etc., and publish in ANA's medium as a partner of SAF Flight Initiative

Riblet-processed film
By attaching a special film imitating the shape of shark skin, the air resistance generated on the aircraft's surface during its flight operation is reduced, while the yearly fuel consumption and CO2 emissions per aircraft are decreased by approximately 250 tons & 800 tons, respectively.
ANA has introduced the riblet-processed film: "AeroSHARK", jointly developed by Lufthansa Technik & BASF, to its Boeing 777 designated cargo aircraft ("freighter"), of which the 1st freighter (JA771F) installed with riblet technology is in operation since September 2, 2024. From next spring, the 2nd passenger aircraft (JA796A), adopting the same technology, is planned to operate for international routes, making ANA the 1st airline in the world to introduce such technology to both cargo & passenger aircrafts.
This "AeroSHARK" film (approximately 1m wide x 0.5m high per sheet) is a functional surface film, inspired by the structure of shark skin, reducing frictional resistance with microfabrication of approximately 50 micrometers. By implementing this film to most of the fuselage, on an annual basis, approximately 250 tons & 800 tons of fuel consumption & CO2 emissions can be reduced per aircraft. *
Upon verifying the effect of the 2 Boeing 777 aircrafts equipped with riblet technology through their flight operations, by expanding to other aircrafts of the same type, ANA Group's mid-to long-term environmental goals achievement shall be aimed. In addition to this initiative, ESG management will be promoted to realize a sustainable society by continuously deploying various measures under the theme of "ANA Future Promise".
* Estimated maximum effect calculated by Lufthansa Technik based on ANA's average annual flight hours.
