GoGreen Plus

Support meaningful progress in your sustainability efforts

Now more than ever, sustainability matters - to the planet, your customers, and your business's bottom line. We're offering a new way to transform your logistics with DHL Express GoGreen Plus, our solution to help reduce the carbon emissions from air shipments using Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).

We use Sustainable Aviation Fuel made from renewable waste‑based feedstocks such as used cooking oilor or other renewable resources, that is specifically designed to be a substitute for traditional jet fuel.

CO₂e Reduction

Sustainable Fuels can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by around 80 percent compared to fossil fuels.

Flexibility and Control

We offer you several options to take advantage of GoGreen Plus, allowing you to scale your investment and emissions reduction.

No Impact on Service Levels

GoGreen Plus service based on SAF is available globally for Time Definite International (TDI) shipments. 
 

Note: GoGreen Plus service based on HVO is available in Europe for Day Definite International (DDI) shipments.

Verified Reporting

Receive a certificate with the emission reduction value and complimentary Customer CO2e/ GHG Emission Report.

Get Started with GoGreen Plus

Tailor your path to more sustainable shipping

If you're ready to start using Sustainable fuels such as SAF and HVO, to reduce the CO₂e emissions associated with your shipments, we offer two ways for your business to use GoGreen Plus.

Option 1: Contractual Basis

With a DHL account and contract, you can customize your GoGreen blend. The basic GoGreen option includes CO₂e reduction set tiers up to 80 percent. But with a contract, we can customize your SAF investment and you can further reduce your CO₂e emissions, up to the full 90 percent reduction (compared to fossil fuels). An independent auditor will annually verify the emission reduction values for the purchased SAF and also verify that all investments have exclusively used for SAF.

Option 2: Individual Shipments through MyDHL+

If you are shipping using MyDHL+ (as a guest or on your account without GoGreen Plus in your contract), you can add GoGreen Plus to any individual shipment. This is a great option for SME (small and medium-sized) and e-commerce businesses with smaller cargo loads. Selecting GoGreen Plus through MyDHL+ comes with a standard CO₂e reduction of 30%.

Note: GoGreen Plus is applied by default. You may opt out during shipment creation.

How Does It Work?

Decarbonize your value chain with Book and Claim

Insetting allows businesses to account for Scope 3 CO₂e reductions within their transportation value chain through Book and Claim.

In contrast to "offsetting" - where businesses compensate their Scope 3 emissions through environmental programs like reforestation and habitat restoration projects - GoGreen Plus enables the allocation of certified Scope 3 CO₂e/GHG emissions reductions within the transportation value chain via Book and Claim, which is also referred to as "insetting".

Book and Claim

An integral part of insetting is the “Book and Claim” system. Sometimes, Sustainable Fuels such as Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) or Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) are not readily available for immediate use. Whether constrained by production capacity or costs, the “Book and Claim” system lets us decouple the environmental benefit from where the fuel is physically used

Fuel Tracking

When a sustainable fuel supplier produces Sustainable Fuels, they generate a Sustainable Fuel Declaration based on the quantity of sustainable fuel they make using renewable feedstocks. When we purchase Sustainable Aviation Fuel, we receive the Sustainable Fuel Decalaration, which allows us to claim the environmental benefits - such as the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions associated with this fuel - and pass them on to our customers through the Book and Claim mechanism.

Benefit Transfer

When you select GoGreen Plus for a shipment, your package might not have been shipped in a sustainable fuel powered aircraft or vehicle, but shipments somewhere in our global network did. Your purchase of GoGreen Plus replaced fossil-based fuel and reduced overall transport emissions - and you get the credit for that through an official GoGreen Plus CO₂e Reduction Certificate.

Certificates and Reports

Track your GoGreen Plus greenhouse gas reductions

We make it easy to track your GoGreen Plus greenhouse gas reductions, especially if you're subject to the EU's CSRD directive that requires annual reporting. Read about EU's CSRD directive

CO₂e Reduction Certificates

Your company will receive a GoGreen Plus Certificate including the emissions reduction value and details about the sustainable fuel allocated to you through our GoGreen Plus program, such as the supplier, feedstock type, and specific reduction amount. This certificate can be used for your own GHG emissions reporting. DHL will provide a complimentary Customer Emissions Report.

CO₂e Emission Reporting

Your company will receive a detailed emissions report with the capability of drilling down to Airwaybill level. Emissions are calculated based on the billed weight, most common routing, and related transport modes. We adhere to international standards, including the GHG Protocol, GLEC Framework version 3.2, and ISO 14083 principles, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of our emission reports.
