Protecting the environment - GoGreen
We are committed to minimizing our environmental impact and have a comprehensive environmental management program in place to do so. In 2008, we launched our ambitious GoGreen climate protection program. Our goal is to reduce CO2 emissions for every letter and parcel sent, every tonne of cargo transported and for every square meter of warehouse space used by 30% by 2020 (compared to our 2007 baseline).
Our climate protection program GoGreen addresses the challenge of climate change and forms the basis for our environmental involvement.

GoGreen products
With its GOGREEN products, Deutsche Post DHL became the first logistics company to offer its customers the option of sending carbon neutral packages.
The transport-related CO2 emissions are calculated and offset through internal reduction measures and external climate protection projects.
- Innovative technology
-
Deutsche Post DHL is the only company in the logistics industry that has bundled its innovation activities in a research center aimed at developing marketable, highly innovative products based on logistics trends of the future.
- Environmental management
-
As the world's leading logistics provider, Deutsche Post DHL takes its responsibilities towards the environment very seriously. Therefore, the Group has developed a cohesive but flexible approach to environmental management, called the Deutsche Post DHL 6-Step Approach. It provides a general global framework with a focus on tackling the most important environmental risks and issues.
- Sourcing sustainably
-
We spent over 9 billion euros in 2008 on products and services. This considerable purchasing spend provides us with an opportunity to influence the sustainability of our own supply chain. We are guided by international environmental and social standards when it comes to purchasing decisions.
- Environmental data
-
The ability to calculate our own carbon footprint is a key prerequisite of our GoGreen Program. We need to identify opportunities for reducing our footprint and to track how much we have changed our ways. We also need the data to offset our GOGREEN products and services, and in due course to calculate our customers' individual footprints.
