DHL Express has launched ‘GoGreen Plus’ a new service that will allow customers to reduce carbon emissions associated with their shipments through the use of SAF. A first for a global express carrier, the option will initially launch in the UK, before rolling out globally.
On Thursday (February 16, 2023), DHL Express announced the launch of ‘GoGreen Plus’, a new service that will allow customers to reduce carbon emissions associated with their shipments through the use of SAF, a first for a global express carrier. The program will initially be launched in the UK, followed shortly by Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and the UAE. This month, customers based in these countries can select GoGreen Plus when choosing shipping service through MyDHL+, the company’s online shipping and tracking platform.
In Thursday’s announcement, DHL Express’ CEO, John Pearson, said,
“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.”
Over the coming months, GoGreen Plus will be available for all DHL Express customers globally. The new service is made possible by the company’s recent collaborations with bp and Neste to supply SAF to DHL Express hubs around the world. The renewable portion of the SAF blend is produced from waste oils, generating GHG lifecycle emissions by up to 80 percent compared to conventional jet fuel.
