The Era of Sustainable Logistics Global Summit 2023 invites logistics and sustainability experts across industries to collaborate, develop innovative solutions, and take yet another step towards greener, cleaner logistics. During the summit, we update stakeholders on the progress of our sustainability roadmap with the key topics of electrification, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), carbon-neutral buildings, and alternative green services.
“As we face the challenges of the climate emergency, it is clear that sustainability must be at the forefront of our efforts. By prioritizing cleaner, greener logistics and working together, I truly believe that we can drive meaningful progress towards achieving sustainable supply chains,“ says Katja Busch, Chief Commercial Officer at DHL and Head of Customer Solutions and Innovation (CSI). “The DHL Era of Sustainable Logistics Global Summit 2023 is an opportunity for community building. We are excited to be the ones to facilitate this summit. Collaboration is a must to achieve progress. We owe it to future generations to take bold action and make commitments to protect our planet now.”
The road to electrification
DPDHL Group has already accomplished significant milestones in the pursuit of that goal. We are at the forefront of electrification. We have introduced over 30,000 e-vehicles and ordered up to 12 fully electric cargo planes. Last year, we have successfully secured over 830 million liters of SAF until 2026. But it is not only in transport that we are adopting a sustainable approach. More than half of our Supply Chain facilities (52.1 per cent) are carbon neutral. A total of 76 buildings are designed and build according to carbon-neutral guidelines. We are creating sustainable alternatives for our customers. A great example are the GoGreen Plus services. We offer GoGreen Plus for all core products. It is already used by major customers to enable sustainable supply chains today.
“While we are proud of the rapid progress we’ve made, we remain dedicated to exploring new technologies and partnerships to further create momentum to drive the green agenda forward”, says Yin Zou, Executive Vice President of Corporate Development at DPDHL Group.
Empowering our customers with the DHL GoGreen Dashboard
In addition to the green services we offer, we want to empower customers to reduce their carbon footprint. By introducing the new DHL GoGreen Dashboard, we have a new seamless emissions reporting solution. It provides transparency according to recognized industry standards like the GLEC Framework or the recently published ISO 14083. Customers can quickly and easily view carbon emissions for all of the Group’s business units through a single customizable platform. The platform is completely free of charge. This interface eliminates the need to access multiple systems and reports, making the reporting process more efficient and streamlined. This leads to better informed decision-making. We will roll out the tool to the first top 100 cross-divisional customers. We have the intent to expand the scope later this year.
