A Strong Foundation for Sustainability
Founded in 1978 as Printech International in Dublin, Exertis originally provided printing services to ICT firms. Over time, the company rapidly expanded and became a key player in the technology sector. In 1999, it rebranded as SerCom Solutions and shifted its focus to managed supply chain services. By 2013, Exertis joined the DCC Technology Group, with a renewed mission to deliver end-to-end solutions that adapt to the evolving needs of the global supply chain industry.
Committed to Sustainable Growth
At the heart of Exertis’s operations is a deep commitment to sustainability. The company strives to reduce its carbon footprint, continuously improve safety practices, foster a diverse and inclusive workplace, and maintain high standards of governance. However, managing sustainability across Exertis’s extensive network of suppliers and partners presented challenges. Coordinating these efforts required careful planning and strong collaborations with external partners to drive meaningful progress.
Enhancing Sustainability with GoGreen Plus
To enhance its sustainability efforts, Exertis adopted DHL Express Ireland’s GoGreen Plus service. This strategic move was part of Exertis’s broader plan to address Scope 3 emissions—the indirect emissions generated from supply chain activities, including shipping. GoGreen Plus provides Exertis with detailed sustainability reporting, enabling them to track emissions and develop effective strategies to reduce their carbon footprint across operations.
Seamless Integration and Immediate Impact
The transition to GoGreen Plus was smooth and efficient. The service started with smaller contributions and scaled over time. By leveraging GoGreen Plus, Exertis gained the tools to effectively measure and report carbon emissions. This, in turn, allowed them to meet the increasing sustainability demands of their customers. One key example: Exertis was able to show a major customer that switching to GoGreen Plus shipping services could reduce emissions without compromising delivery timelines—demonstrating the power of datadriven decisions in boosting both operational efficiency and environmental impact.

“DHL has created a very usable service that provides real data in a format that's easy to read, understand, and translate to our partners. At a time when the complexity of reporting is increasing, the GoGreen Plus service allows us to show customers ways we can all improve our sustainability performance on a daily basis.”
This commitment to actionable, data-driven sustainability is just one of the ways Exertis is leading the charge in transforming the supply chain industry. Through its partnership with DHL Express Ireland’s GoGreen Plus service, Exertis is embracing innovative solutions to reduce its environmental impact, drive measurable change, and achieve its sustainability goals.

The partnership between Exertis and DHL Express Ireland highlights the importance of strong collaborations in achieving sustainability objectives.

Exertis continues to advocate for GoGreen Plus among its partners, helping them reduce their environmental impact while strengthening their commitment to sustainability. By embracing these innovative solutions, Exertis is setting a new industry standard for sustainability.
