GoGreen Plus launched to decarbonise road transportation

To reduce CO2 emissions for road transportation, DHL Freight has introduced the GoGreen Plus service. This is achieved through carbon insetting, which is a reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases through investments in green road transportation technologies and fuels, said release. “In contrast to offsetting, which helps to compensate carbon emissions through climate protection projects worldwide, insetting focuses on decarbonising road freight by investing in low- and zero emission technologies and fuels such as electric vehicles, biogas (Bio-LNG or Bio-CNG) or hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO),” added release. Uwe Brinks, CEO, DHL Freight said, “This is a major milestone for our company’s sustainability goals. With the introduction of GoGreen Plus at DHL Freight, we at Deutsche Post DHL Group can now offer our customers carbon-neutral transport services across all modes of transport, in line with the Paris COP 21 targets to limit global warming. I am very proud that we are a driving force in the sustainable transformation of our industry. We are making GoGreen Plus services available for every core transport product in our company – be it Eurapid, Euroconnect or Euroline. Our existing green road transportation projects are very popular with our customers, and we look forward to expanding GoGreen Plus services across our entire product portfolio.”
