Our path to zero emissions in Germany

At Deutsche Post & DHL, we are making a consistent effort to achieve sustainablity. Since 2011, we have been transporting all national parcels and packages for our DHL private customers in a CO2-compensated manner offsetting transport-generated carbon emissions through investment in climate protection projects, thus helping to protect the environment. Since July 2022, GoGreen is also automatically included with international private customers shipments. With the new GoGreen Plus service, we are now taking sustainable shipping to the next level by actively avoiding emissions.
The new GoGreen Plus service can be booked to send and receive domestic shipments in Germany, and to send small packages and parcels internationally to other countries. This enables customers to actively protect the environment by helping to reduce emissions of CO2. For our part, we invest in additional carbon reduction measures in our logistics network in Germany as well as in using biojet fuel for international air freight transports. This means we actively avoid emissions of greenhouse gas. 

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!

Packstation - the green address for parcels

Sustainable, free of charge and also near you: More than 14,000 Packstations and Poststations 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.

DHL Packstation GoGreen
Icon Blatt

We are planning to install around 800 Packstations at railway stations alone. The Packstation is particularly sustainable because it avoids extra journeys and shipments are delivered and collected in bundles by DHL delivery staff.

Icon Blatt

We are constantly setting up new Packstations at convenient locations - so you have shorter routes and can combine parcel collection with other errands. 

Icon Blatt

Our Packstations are evolving and require less and less electricity; many of the latest Packstations even have solar panels.

Sustainable 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. Our deliveries are already sustainable in around 50% of our delivery districts. In 2025, we will provide "green" deliveries with 38,000 e-vehicles and 14,000 e-trikes in over 70% of districts. 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 sustainable products and services is increasingly being expanded.

Questions and answers

The GoGreen service is already included for private customers when shipping in Germany. This means that every parcel or small pckage sent with DHL by private customers is automatically shipped in a CO2-compensated manner. The emissions generated during shipping are offset by certified climate projects.  DHL has been offering this service to its private customers since 2011. For shipping outside Germany, you can add GoGreen for a small amount.
