DHL POP Parcel Service Points
During deliveries to pickup points or lockers, more parcels can be handled during a courier's stop compared to door-to-door delivery. This translates to fewer kilometers driven.
DHL’s network of points and vending machines is growing and has 23,000 locations. In most cities, points and lockers are within easy reach, so by choosing this delivery method, you can reduce your carbon footprint!
Deliveries to some DHL BOX 24/7 lockers and POP points are carried out using our fleet of electric vehicles, further supporting the eco-friendly nature of these deliveries.
Courier fleet
- Electric vehicles - DHL already has 400 electric vehicles and continuously modernizes its fleet to better meet customer needs and environmental challenges.
- Electric bicycles - we are testing electric bicycles on five routes to improve couriers’ efficiency in locations that are difficult for cars to access.
Energy and environmental standards
Dekra Certification Certifications
Our commitment to energy efficiency and environmental protection is confirmed by certificates.
ISO 50001 Energy Management System certificate – an international standard for energy management systems that sets requirements for planning, monitoring and optimizing energy use in an organization. Its main objective is to improve energy efficiency, which leads to reduced operating costs and a lower environmental impact by the organization.
ISO 14001 certificate – Environmental Management System – defines the principles for creating, implementing and maintaining a system that enables an organization to effectively manage the environmental impact of its activities.
Infrastructure
Automated Parcel Sorting
We use modern sorters equipped with laser scanners and video cameras. Advanced technologies enable us to quickly sort large volumes of parcels. This allows us to optimize machine operating times and energy consumption while minimizing manual handling of parcels. As a result, it takes only a fraction of a second to measure and weigh your package and prepare it for its next journey.
Efficient and Economical Lighting
We have partially upgraded the lighting in warehouses, sorting facilities, and parking areas to LED lamps. hanks to these changes across dozens of facilities nationwide, we have significantly reduced electricity consumption by several kilowatts.
