Air Freight
CO₂ Reduction via Sustainable Fuel Switch. DHL Global Forwarding now offers to reduce the carbon emissions of air freight shipments with sustainable aviation biofuels – for all trade lanes and shipments.
Accelerate the Decarbonization of Your Air Freight Shipments With Insetting
Use certified, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) with DHL, and reduce 100% of the Tank-to-Wake and up to 80% Well-to-Wake carbon emissions. You can compensate for the remaining emissions with VER Gold Standard carbon credits. Decide which scope of your DHL business shall be reduced, and DHL ensures the fuel switch and verification process. We facilitate the complicated part for you!
How Does It Benefit You?
- With Air Freight GoGreen Plus, you lead the transition to clean and sustainable air freight, and accelerate the uptake of SAF in aviation.
- Reduce the carbon footprint of your air freight supply chain by using a truly sustainable SAF, meeting the criteria of sustainable production.
- Simplify decarbonization with Book & Claim: we provide you with externally verified certificates for your carbon reduction efforts.
How Does It Work?
Option 1: Insetting
Insetting is the replacement of fossil aviation fuel (jet-fuel) by sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) - one liter of SAF for one liter of fossil jet-fuel! This reduces emissions in aviation.
Option 2: Insetting + Offsetting
In addition to insetting, compensate emissions via VER Gold Standard carbon credits projects. This door-to-door approach enables the full lifecycle emission compensation and makes your shipment truly climate-neutral.
Your GoGreen Plus CO₂ Reduction Certificates
With Air Freight GoGreen Plus, insetting is executed by a selected carrier partner on DHL Global Forwarding’s behalf for you.
As a customer, you decide on the scope (trade lane, shipped weight) of the insetting and receive an annual certificate (in PDF format) confirming the exact amount of CO₂ reduced. For this, an independent third-party agency, Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS) verifies that the promised emission reductions were realized. This certificate can be used by you to provide evidence of your Scope 3 emissions reduction (to your own auditors or customers).
In addition, you can request a monthly Carbon Report & GoGreen Plus Report, detailing your overall emissions & reductions with DHL Global Forwarding.
