Our path to zero emissions in Germany
At Deutsche Post & DHL, we are making a consistent effort to achieve climate neutrality. Since 2011, we have been transporting all national parcels and packages for our DHL private customers in a CO2-neutral manner offsetting transport-generated carbon emissions through investment in climate protection projects, thus helping to protect the environment. Our mission is to reduce all logistics-related emissions to zero by 2050.
To this end, we have launched a new Germany-wide sustainability offensive.
Our customers support us in this by handing over their shipments to us. You too can join in!
GoGreen: Climate-neutral* shipping with DHL
You can already send your parcels and packages climate friendly today
Your DHL parcels and DHL packages are shipped climate neutrally* throughout Germany - at no additional cost to you.
You can also ship to other countries in a climate-friendly way for a small surcharge.
The emissions caused by shipping are offset by investing in climate protection projects worldwide.
Our offer of unscheduled pick-up by the delivery agent helps private customers to avoid unnecessary journeys.
Climate-friendly receiving
We offer you numerous free options to make the reception of your parcels greener
With our receiving services such as drop-off location, delivery day change or parcel redirection, you help us to avoid unsuccessful delivery attempts. This is convenient for you, avoids multiple journeys and is good for the climate.
Send your parcels directly to Packstations or postal outlets to make sure your shipments get to you without detours.
Want to do even more? Then sign up for digital delivery notification - by doing this you actively reduce paper consumption for our notification cards.
Packstation - the green address for parcels
Climate-friendly, free of charge and also near you
Our more than 9,300 DHL Packstations allow us to save CO2 compared to direct doorstep delivery, as we can deliver many parcels to one address with one stop and collect new parcels and returns at the same time.
We are constantly setting up new Packstations at convenient locations - so you have shorter routes and can combine parcel collection with other errands. By 2023, there will already be 15,000 Packstations.
Our Packstations are evolving and require less and less electricity; many of the latest Packstations even have solar panels.
Climate friendly packaging
We also focus on climate neutrality when it comes to packaging
With the colourful special editions and Pluspäckchen, with effect from 1.1.2022, yellow DHL standard Packsets are now also produced in a climate-neutral way. We determine the CO2 emissions from the entire production chain and offset these through the GoGreen scheme with investments in selected worldwide climate protection projects.

Climate friendly products and services
Deutsche Post and DHL have already succeeded in reducing their own CO2 emissions per parcel by 25 per cent since 2015/16 - thanks to our commitment to environmental sustainability. According to our own estimates, CO2 emissions per parcel are now at least 30 per cent lower than those of the competition on the parcel market. Nevertheless, the range of climate-friendly products and services is increasingly being expanded.
