Powering Tomorrow's Trade: DHL's Sustainable Shipping Solutions for South Africa
Want to make your business greener while boosting your bottom line? You're not alone. South African companies are leading the charge in sustainable logistics, and we're here to help you join the movement.
Transform Your Supply Chain with GoGreen Plus
Picture this: Your packages flying across our beautiful country powered by sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). That's exactly what GoGreen Plus delivers. This innovative service slashes CO2 emissions by up to 80% compared to traditional fossil fuels, putting your business at the forefront of sustainable logistics in Africa.
But here's the real game-changer: When you choose GoGreen Plus, you're not just ticking a box. You're embedding carbon reduction directly into your supply chain through "insetting" – a practice that's becoming essential as South Africa strengthens its environmental regulations.

Why Your Business (and the Planet) Will Love It
Let's be honest – South African consumers care about the environment more than ever. They're choosing brands that share their values, and they're sticking with them. The numbers tell the story: Nearly 9 out of 10 customers remain loyal to environmentally responsible companies.
But this isn't just about winning hearts. Going green means:
Streamlined operations that save you money
Optimised routes that reduce fuel costs
Smart packaging that cuts waste
A stronger brand in the competitive African market

Understanding Offsetting vs Insetting
Think of offsetting like paying someone else to clean up your house. Sure, it gets the job done, but wouldn't it be better to reduce the mess in the first place? That's where insetting comes in.
While offsetting funds external projects (like tree planting in Mpumalanga), insetting tackles emissions right at the source – your own supply chain. With GoGreen Plus, you're not just compensating for emissions; you're actively reducing them.
This distinction matters, especially with new government regulations requiring mandatory CO2 reporting.
Making Returns Work Harder
Here's something you might not know: Returns can be a sustainability goldmine. Instead of viewing them as a necessary evil, we help turn them into an opportunity. Through smart recycling, repurposing, and repair programs, your returned products can find new life – reducing waste and appealing to environmentally conscious customers.
