Drive Real Carbon Reductions with DHL’s GoGreen Plus

It’s front and centre, and everyone’s watching. The good news? DHL’s GoGreen Plus gives South African businesses a practical way to shrink their supply chain emissions, all without disrupting your daily operations.

Why Logistics Emissions Matter More Than Ever

The old days of ticking boxes for carbon reporting are over. Today, South African companies face tighter climate laws and rising demands from customers, partners and investors who expect real action, and real proof. For many, transport and freight make up the biggest chunk of Scope 3 emissions, so your logistics are the natural place to start if you want to make an impact that counts.

Introducing GoGreen Plus

GoGreen Plus is DHL’s hands-on solution for cutting air freight and logistics emissions. This isn’t just about tracking your footprint or buying far-off offsets. With GoGreen Plus, you actively decarbonise your supply chain by tapping into Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), a greener fuel made from renewable waste, like used cooking oil. By choosing SAF, you’re not just making promises; you’re putting your shipments on a more sustainable path, achieving genuine carbon reductions.

What sets GoGreen Plus apart? Its insetting approach. Emissions reductions stay where they matter most, inside the logistics sector. The Book & Claim system means you can earn credit for SAF, even if your goods leave from an airport where SAF isn’t available yet. 

DHL feeds SAF into its global network, and you claim the certified Scope 3 savings, no matter your cargo’s route. It’s a smart, straightforward way for South African businesses to ensure their sustainability spend delivers results, locally and globally.

Reporting That Stands Up to Scrutiny

Getting ready for an ESG audit or planning your next sustainability disclosure? GoGreen Plus provides independently verified carbon reductions. DHL issues a CO2e reduction certificate and detailed emissions reports right down to the airwaybill, giving you transparent, credible documentation that meets GLEC Framework, EN 16258, ISO 14083 and GHG Protocol standards. You’ll have the evidence at your fingertips for investors, clients and regulators.

Designed for South African Businesses of Every Size

GoGreen Plus fits your needs, whether you’re a small business, an e-commerce outfit or a major shipper. SMEs and online retailers can simply add GoGreen Plus to each shipment via MyDHL+, no need to overhaul your operations. For bigger volumes with DHL Global Forwarding, pick from Base, Premium or Select service levels. DHL Freight customers can choose insetting at 10%, 30% or even 100%, with annual certificates and shipment-level emissions reports for full transparency.

As climate rules tighten and international buyers demand evidence of sustainable supply chains, South African companies that show real emissions reductions are better placed to win contracts, build trust, and grow their market share. With GoGreen Plus, emissions reporting isn’t a headache, it’s a business asset.
