DHL Express Bangladesh Inks GoGreen Plus Service Deal With Pakiza Knit Composite

Pakiza Knit Composite signs up for DHL’s GoGreen Plus to help offset greenhouse gas emissions of their international shipments

DHL Express Bangladesh, the world’s leading international express service provider has welcomed Pakiza Knit Composite Ltd. to its GoGreen Plus initiative. The GoGreen Plus service is part of DHL’s broader strategy to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its logistics network and support businesses in achieving their sustainability goals. Through this partnership, Pakiza Knit Composite Ltd. aims to reduce 30% of its GHG emissions from cross-border shipments.

Md. Miarul Haque, Managing Director of DHL Express Bangladesh, and Mr. Rakibul Islam Khan, Managing Director of Pakiza Knit Composite Ltd., signed the agreement, marking a significant step towards a shared vision of decarbonizing their operations.

Pakiza Knit Composite Ltd., a recipient of the prestigious Green Factory Award from the Bangladesh Government, leads in sustainable textile production. Its initiatives include reusing heat loss to cut carbon emissions, using solar power, and managing wastewater via an Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) to minimize environmental impact. They have also embarked on a project to repurpose exhaust air from generators to boil water efficiently, supporting the dyeing and finishing processes while reducing energy consumption and emissions.

GoGreen Plus allows customers to co-invest in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) through a book-and-claim mechanism. The reduction in the resulting GHG emissions from the investment amount can then be credited to Scope 3 emission reporting, which refers to the indirect greenhouse gases produced in a company's value chain.  SAF is currently one of the most viable short-term solutions for long-distance flights, while leaving room for future innovations in sustainable technologies. SAF is made from renewable energy, sustainable biomass, or waste, SAF can also cut the lifecycle GHG emissions of conventional aviation fuel by up to 80%.

Md. Miarul Haque, Managing Director of DHL Express Bangladesh, said, “Partnering with forward-thinking companies like Pakiza Knit Composite Ltd. strengthens our mission to transform logistics into a more sustainable industry. By joining the GoGreen Plus service, Pakiza sets an inspiring example of how businesses can integrate practical measures into their operations while benefiting from innovative logistics solutions.”

Mr. Rakibul Islam Khan, Managing Director of Pakiza Knit Composite Ltd., stated, “Leadership is not just about making profits but about making a positive impact on the world we live in. With the signing of the Go Green Plus agreement with DHL, we embark on a journey towards a sustainable future. We hope our commitment to environmental stewardship will inspire others to join us in creating a better world for generations to come.”

DHL Group has committed to achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. It has procured up to 800 million liters of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) through partnerships with bp & Neste, and 668 liters with World Energy, contributing to efforts aimed at decarbonization in the aviation industry. Alongside this, DHL continues to invest in electric vehicles for its ground operations, and aims to electrify 66% of our last-mile pick-up and delivery fleet by 2030.
