We want to be the Green Logistics of Choice

With our mission to achieve net-zero GHG emissions by 2050, we strive to reduce GHG emissions through decarbonization measures across our operations. We are doing this by achieving our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions target by 2030 in line with the Paris Agreement through the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi). SBTi approved our net zero target for 2050 in July 2024.

We will increase the proportion of sustainable aviation fuels to 30 percent and the proportion of electric vehicles in our first and last mile delivery fleet to over 66 percent, all our new buildings will be designed to be climate-neutral[1] and we will offer customers a portfolio of logistics solutions with specified GHG-emission reductions. 

[1] Carbon-Neutral Building refers to a DHL internal rating standard for building emissions. It includes buildings’ operational carbon emissions according to Scope 1 and Scope 2, with 75% or more carbon reduction and a maximum of 25% offsets with verified carbon credits allowed (compared to a baseline where fossil energy is used for electricity and heating). The reduction of emissions is achieved by renewable energies, like solar PV, and the deployment of energy efficient technologies.

All data included in the video is based on the full year results for 2025.
GoGreen Plus is a value-added service to a DHL shipment contributing to decarbonization measures within DHL’s logistics network. By using alternative fuels and/or technologies DHL reduces the usage of fossil fuels in the mode of transport used for the GoGreen Plus shipment. This does not necessarily mean that the specific shipment is physically transported with the assets using these fuels or technologies. Further information, e.g. on concrete decarbonization measures is available on our DHL Group website.

Our 2030 targets

Based on SBTi[2], our goal is to reduce our GHG emissions from 40 million metric tons CO2e to under 29 million by 2030[3]. We plan to achieve our target through the following aspirations:  

[2] Our science-based target represents a 42% reduction in absolute direct emissions from the use of fuels and indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 1 and 2) and a 25% reduction in absolute emissions from fuel and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, and business travel (Scope 3).

[3] From 40m metric tons CO2e in 2021, subject to potential restatement due to methodology updates or changes in business scope, e.g. due to M&A.
