All Nippon Airways (ANA) and Norwegian climate-technology company Chooose have expanded their partnership to make sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) participation more accessible to corporate and cargo customers. The enhanced programme removes minimum purchase requirements and fixed contract terms, allowing businesses to purchase SAF environmental attributes in quantities starting from one metric tonne.
Announced on 13 November 2026, the expanded agreement will integrate Chooose’s digital platform into ANA’s SAF Flight Initiative (SFI) Corporate and Cargo Programmes. The platform will enable participating companies to calculate and track carbon dioxide emissions associated with their actual ANA flights and cargo shipments, purchase environmental attributes linked to SAF use and obtain CO2 reduction certificates through an online process.
Under the revised arrangement, companies will no longer need to enter into separate individual agreements for each purchase. The removal of minimum purchase requirements and fixed contract periods is intended to make the programme accessible to a wider range of businesses.
Digital platform to support corporate SAF participation
The integration of Chooose’s platform will provide corporate customers with a digital process for managing their participation in ANA’s SAF programme.
Companies will be able to monitor emissions associated with their ANA travel and cargo activities, purchase SAF environmental attributes to support reductions in their Scope 3 emissions and obtain corresponding CO2 reduction certificates.
Scope 3 emissions include indirect emissions across a company’s value chain, such as employee business travel and the transportation and distribution of goods. Under the SFI Corporate Programme, businesses can address emissions associated with employee flights, while the Cargo Programme focuses on emissions linked to freight transportation and distribution.
The programme’s certificates are intended to support corporate emissions accounting and reporting. ANA’s existing programme information states that its corporate and cargo certificates are subject to third-party verification to support transparency in the allocation of emissions reductions.
Partnership builds on ANA’s SAF initiative
The expanded agreement builds on the collaboration between ANA and Chooose, which was previously extended to individual travellers through the SFI Personal Programme launched in June 2026.
The latest development extends the digital platform’s role across ANA’s corporate and cargo programmes. Chooose also said the expanded partnership would support the integration of ANA’s internal SAF operations onto its platform.
ANA considers SAF adoption a key part of its strategy to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The airline has been developing partnerships and programmes to encourage wider participation in SAF adoption across the aviation value chain.
Bioenergy Business Analysis
The expanded partnership addresses one of the practical barriers to corporate participation in SAF programmes: the complexity of purchasing and contracting. By allowing purchases from one metric tonne and removing fixed contract requirements, ANA and Chooose are lowering the entry threshold for companies seeking to address emissions associated with business travel and freight transportation.
The development also highlights the growing role of digital platforms in connecting corporate emissions accounting with SAF environmental attributes and certificates. Such programmes can provide businesses with a mechanism to support SAF adoption and account for associated emissions reductions within their Scope 3 reporting.
However, wider participation in these programmes should be distinguished from an increase in physical SAF production or direct fuel supply to individual corporate customers. The longer-term impact will depend on SAF availability, procurement, credible allocation of environmental attributes and the ability of the industry to scale production and reduce costs.
