DHL Express and United Overseas Bank Indonesia Partner to Cut Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Leveraging GoGreen Plus Service

• UOB Indonesia adopts DHL’s GoGreen Plus service to reduce around 80% of greenhouse gas emissions from international shipments
• Both companies also organize the first GoTrade event in Indonesia, aimed at supporting SMEs in the country

DHL Express Indonesia and UOB Indonesia have entered a strategic partnership to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of international air shipments through the adoption of DHL’s GoGreen Plus service. DHL Express's GoGreen Plus stands as the first solution within the global express logistics sector that enables customers to leverage sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in reducing emissions linked to their shipments.

This partnership enables UOB to reduce around 80% of carbon emissions associated with its international shipments, significantly advancing the bank’s own sustainability targets and reinforcing its commitment to responsible business practices.

“We are proud to support UOB on their sustainability journey,” said Ahmad Mohamad, Senior Technical Advisor, DHL Express Indonesia. “Through GoGreen Plus, we offer a measurable and verified solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in logistics. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to supporting Indonesia’s national climate goals as well as DHL Group’s net zero emissions target by 2050.”

Hendra Gunawan, President Director, UOB Indonesia, said, “As part of UOB Group, UOB Indonesia is committed to advancing transition towards a low-carbon economy. Our partnership with DHL reflects how we are taking tangible steps in our own operations and for our clients to reduce carbon emissions. By adopting GoGreen Plus, we are contributing to Indonesia’s sustainability agenda while aligning with UOB Group’s commitment to achieve net zero by 2050. This collaboration demonstrates how UOB Indonesia can leverage our regional connectivity and financial expertise to help businesses grow responsibly and sustainably across ASEAN.”

Following the signing ceremony, DHL Express and UOB also hosted the first GoTrade event in the country. Themed “Empowering Business Beyond Borders”, the initiative is part of DHL’s GoTrade program, which aims to foster sustainable economic growth by helping small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) navigate customs procedures and logistics processes to engage in cross- border trade.

“Through the GoTrade collaboration, UOB Indonesia is empowering SMEs to expand beyond borders in a more sustainable way. By connecting our customers to UOB’s regional network and DHL’s global logistics expertise, we enable Indonesian businesses to access new opportunities, strengthen their competitiveness, and contribute to inclusive economic growth across the region,” added Hendra Gunawan.

“Supporting programs like GoTrade reflects DHL’s commitment to fostering inclusive global trade, empowering small businesses, and driving sustainable economic growth,” said Ahmad Mohamad. “Next to providing tools, knowledge and support, reliable logistics plays a crucial role in helping SMEs access larger markets. We are proud to lend our expertise to SMEs so that they are equipped to participate effectively in cross-border commerce.”

DHL Express and UOB is firmly committed to creating long-term value for its partners, customers, and communities. Through initiatives like GoGreen Plus, we champion sustainability and environmental responsibility, while GoTrade aims to support businesses—especially SMEs—to expand across borders and thrive in the global economy. Together, these programs reflect DHL’s purpose of connecting people and improving lives by driving inclusive growth and sustainable progress across the markets we serve.
