DHL Express Launches SAF Via GoGreen Plus 

DHL Express, a global express carrier, announced the launch of GoGreen Plus, a new service that will allow customers to reduce the carbon emissions associated with their shipments through the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). 

This will initially launch in the UK, shortly followed by Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and the United Arab Emirates. 

Starting this month, customers of DHL Express based in these countries will have the option to select GoGreen Plus when choosing their shipping service through MyDHL+, the company's 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 the CO2e reduction they want to achieve and the amount of SAF they use.

The new GoGreen Plus service is made possible following DHL's recent collaborations with bp and Neste to supply SAF to DHL Express hubs around the world. The renewable part of the fuel is produced from waste oils. 

"We know our customers are committed to reducing their environmental impact so it's important we're giving them the means to do so,” said John Pearson, CEO DHL Express, in a statement. “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."

Insetting through GoGreen Plus allows customers to bring down their Scope 3 emissions, the indirect GHG emissions that occur in a company's value chain, including downstream transportation and distribution. Unlike offsetting initiatives, GoGreen Plus (insetting) reduces emissions within the logistics sector and can be used for DHL customers' own voluntary emission reporting and follows the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi) philosophy.
