New eco-friendly service launched by DHL

GO GREEN is a service which has recently been launched by the German logistics group Deutsche Post DHL. The company has promised to give a contribution towards climate protection schemes when customers choose this shipping option.

Customers who make use of GOGREEN will also be able to make use of the DHL Carbon Dashboard, allowing them to track the carbon emissions which result from the shipping of their parcels.

Smart Trucks have been brought in, enabling drivers to select the fastest and most efficient routes for their deliveries, thus reducing the distances they travel to a great extent.

Chief executive of Asia Pacific DHL Supply Chain, Paul Graham, said:

“Consumers across the world are increasingly beginning to understand the significance of ‘green’ logistics and the cost savings it will bring in the long run.”

According to research carried out by this renowned international courier, nearly two-thirds of commercial customers view transportation as an important factor in trying to reduce their carbon footprint.
