SINGAPORE, Nov. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Today the Air France-KLM group today announced that TOP International Holding, a Singapore-based, global minerals and resources company, has become the first in Singapore to join the Air France-KLM Corporate Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) programme. Representatives of the Air France-KLM Group and TOP International Holding signed a contract on 25 October 2022 to affirm TOP International Holding’s commitment in joining the programme.

Today marks the start of greater awareness among companies in Singapore to collaborate with us to make SAF available around the globe.”
Dato’ Victor Tan, CEO of TOP International Holding, expressed: “Sustainability is embedded as a core component of our corporate strategy. We want to play our part in making a positive impact to the environment. Our decision to join the Air France-KLM Corporate SAF programme reflects our deep commitment for sustainable development as well as innovative and responsible aviation practices. We are excited about this new opportunity to partner with an industry leader and are confident that this will help in reducing CO2 emissions, and contribute to preserving our natural resources for future generations.”
The Air France-KLM Corporate SAF programme offers a customized programme depending on the sustainability ambitions of a company. Based on anticipated travel, the company’s contribution will be used to purchase Sustainable Aviation Fuel within the agreed calendar years.

Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability.
