Sustainable Product Portfolio
Take sustainable action
Now you can directly reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions across your supply chain with GoGreen PLUS. By leveraging sustainable fuels and alternative technologies, we can help you reduce your carbon footprint and achieve your sustainability targets.
Sustainable Logistics Solutions for Your Business
Discover how our emission reduced logistics products and solutions can minimize your emissions whilst maintaining supply chain efficiency.
DHL's GoGreen Plus products utilize the 'book & claim' (English) methodology. Book & claim enables us to directly replace fossil fuels with sustainable fuels within our network and allocate environmental benefits to paying customers, even when their shipments are not physically transported with the assets using these fuels. This means we can help reduce the environmental impact throughout our own supply chain, in the air, across the ocean, and on the road. We can also provide solutions for dedicated local operations in warehousing and transportation.
This differs from offsetting, offered in some GoGreen products, which compensates GHG emissions via external climate projects outside of DHL's value chain - and therefore, DHL does not account for these reductions in our own GHG footprint.
