The launch of GoGreen Plus – DHL is the first global express courier to give customers the opportunity to use Sustainable Aviation Fuel to reduce emissions.
Both professional as well as private customers now have the option to choose GoGreen Plus to send packages. This new service allows to reduce carbon emissions for shipments through the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
What does the launch of GoGreen Plus mean?
The new GoGreen Plus service is made possible following DHL’s recent collaborations with bp and Neste to supply SAF to DHL Express hubs around the world. The renewable part of the innovative fuel is produced from waste oils. Such SAF from wastes and residues can provide greenhouse gas emission reductions of up to 80 percent over its lifecycle compared with the conventional jet fuel it replaces.
The launch of GoGreen Plus is part of DPDHL Group’s sustainability goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. It contributes to the interim target of using 30% SAF for all air transport by 2030. DPDHL Group aims to offer a green alternative for all products and services across all divisions. The service is now available all over the world, including Belgium.
Customers can select GoGreen Plus when choosing their shipping service through MyDHL+. This is also fully flexible for individual shipments.
DHL Express customers now have the chance to monitor their CO2 reduction and the amount of SAF they use.
“We know our customers are committed to reducing their environmental impact so it’s important we’re giving them the means to do so. I’m delighted that our investment in SAF can now be fully leveraged by customers to enable them to bring down the emissions of their shipments. SAF is currently the primary route to reducing carbon emissions in aviation, so this is the most effective way to help our customers make their own supply chains more sustainable.”
John Pearson, CEO DHL Express
Our new service allows customers to bring down their Scope 3 emissions, the indirect greenhouse gas emissions that occur in a company’s value chain, including downstream transportation and distribution.
GoGreen Plus reduces emissions, unlike offsetting initiatives, within our sector. This can be used for DHL customers’ own voluntary emission reporting.
