2011: Pioneering sustainable cargo transportation
REI chose DHL Global Forwarding because of our uniquely comprehensive expertise in sustainable logistics. The two companies partnered during the early development of DHL’s carbon reporting tools, including the first GoGreen dashboard.
2018: Celebrating REI’s sustainability journey
REI’s sustainability journey was featured in Unlock the True Value of Your Supply Chain – a DHL whitepaper on how businesses can add value through sustainable supply chain management. The paper highlighted REI’s embrace of circular business models, which reduce waste, save customers money, and create new revenue streams.
2022 and beyond: the next sustainability frontier
Since 2022, REI is also working with DHL Global Forwarding to leverage new sustainable fuels in pursuit of its climate targets. The co-op has used DHL GoGreen Plus since early 2022 to inset their full container load (FCL) ocean freight shipments through a switch to sustainable fuels.
