The DHL Group has set the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030 compared to the base year 2021 for direct and indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 1 and 2), as well as by 25% for other indirect emissions (Scope 3). Our mission is to reduce all logistics-related greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. For this reason, company-wide  sustainability programs have been developed, including our nationwide sustainability program focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Germany.

With GoGreen Plus*, we offer a sustainable shipping option in which CO2e emissions in domestic parcel transport are reduced through measures such as the use of electric vehicles in transport or heat pumps in buildings. 

Together, we support measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in logistics.

Sustainable shipping with DHL

  • With the CO2e-Sustainability Report, we provide transparency concerning the carbon emissions generated in your domestic shipments of goods with Deutsche Post and DHL. This enables you to ascertain your company's carbon footprint and produce a company carbon report.1

  • With GoGreen Plus*, we offer a sustainable shipping option in which CO2e emissions in domestic parcel transport are reduced through measures such as the use of electric vehicles in transport or heat pumps in buildings.

  • Using our sustainable shipping materials (linerless labels and ECO-BAGS) you label and package your shipments with reduced material usage and optimized resource efficiency. 

Sustainable delivery by Post and Parcel in Germany

We already deliver CO2e free in around ~62% of our delivery districts in Germany:

  • To achieve this, we already operate more than 38,500 electric delivery vehicles, e-bikes, and e-trikes.

  • We are consistently converting our delivery fleet by introducing more and more electric vehicles.

  • In addition, we deliver DHL Kleinpaket and an increasing number of small-format parcels in metropolitan areas and city centers by bicycle or on foot.

  • As a result, we already deliver every fourth DHL Paket and 2 out of 3 DHL Kleinpaket shipments in delivery districts using locally emission-free vehicles (e.g., electric vehicles).

*GoGreen Plus is a value-added service to a Deutsche Post and DHL shipment contributing to decarbonization measures within Deutsche Post and DHL's logistics network. By using alternative fuels and technologies, Deutsche Post and DHL reduces the usage of fossil fuels in the mode of transport and in buildings used for GoGreen Plus shipments. This does not necessarily mean that the specific shipment is physically transported with vehicles or handled via facilities using these fuels or technologies.
