In today’s business environment, corporate sustainability is no longer just a buzzword—it’s an urgent necessity. As awareness of environmental issues grows, businesses are increasingly adopting eco-friendly practices to help mitigate climate change. One major step forward is the shift toward sustainable delivery services, aimed at reducing carbon emissions and meeting the rising demand for environmentally responsible operations.
DHL Express’ latest whitepaper, Sustainability in Motion: Understanding Carbon Footprint in Logistics and Supply Chains Across Asia-Pacific Regions, delves into this growing movement. The report underscores the importance for businesses in the Asia-Pacific region to tackle climate change head-on and highlights how sustainable logistics have become a cornerstone of modern business strategies.
With logistics predicted to account for 40% of global carbon emissions by 2050 if no action is taken, corporations play a pivotal role in leading the charge towards a greener future. Consumers now expect companies to deliver products and services in an environmentally conscious way. DHL Express has responded with DHL GoGreen Plus, a groundbreaking sustainable logistics solution that helps businesses significantly reduce their Scope 3 carbon emissions by incorporating Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) into their shipping processes. By partnering with over 40,000 companies globally, DHL is driving real progress towards achieving collective sustainability goals.

“Sustainability is becoming a crucial aspect of business for most of our customers. Companies are more committed than ever to reducing their environmental impact, and we must provide them with viable solutions,” says Ken Lee, CEO, of Asia Pacific, DHL Express.

How DHL GoGreen Plus Drives Sustainable Change
DHL GoGreen Plus helps reduce carbon emissions by using Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), an innovative and cleaner alternative to conventional jet fuel. SAF is produced from renewable resources, offering a significant reduction in emissions during air transport. By integrating SAF into their logistics operations, companies can achieve measurable emission reductions, directly aligning their supply chain efforts with broader corporate sustainability goals.
How to Adopt GoGreen Plus for Your Business
It’s easy for companies to opt for SAF in their shipping processes:
- Select the GoGreen service when booking shipments on MyDHL+.
- Sign up for a GoGreen Plus contract with DHL Express, choosing your preferred level of emissions reduction.
Through this contractual model, you have the flexibility to decide how much CO2 emissions you wish to reduce. Each emission reduction is independently verified, and you’ll receive a certificate detailing the reduction value, which can help decrease your company’s Scope 3 carbon footprint.
DHL Express offers transparent pricing options and provides a comprehensive carbon footprint report, making it simple for your business to integrate sustainability into your operations.
Independent Verification for Credibility
To ensure accuracy, all emission reductions achieved through GoGreen Plus are independently verified by Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS), a globally recognised third-party agency. This verification gives businesses confidence that their efforts meet the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) standards for carbon reduction.
Transparent Emission Tracking and Reporting
DHL also provides customers with the GoGreen app, a tool for tracking and reporting carbon emission reductions. This app offers detailed insights, empowering businesses with the transparency and accountability they need to stay on track with their sustainability objectives.
