DHL Express recently launched GoGreen Plus a service that will enable the customers to reduce carbon emissions associated with their shipments through the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
"This is a first for global express carriers, and will initially launch in the U.K., shortly followed by Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and the United Arab Emirates," DHL said in a release.
The customers will now have the option to select GoGreen Plus while choosing their shipping service through the online shipping and tracking platform.
GoGreen Plus will become available to all DHL Express customers globally over the coming months with customers being given the chance to tailor CO2 reduction they want to achieve and the amount of SAF they use, the release said.
John Pearson, CEO, DHL Express, 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."
The GoGreen Plus service is part of Deutsche Post DHL 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.
