Sustainability

How can we help your business achieve its climate goals?

Transportation is a source of emissions, but with our Swedish GoGreen Plus* service option, your company can gain control over its emissions and contribute to investments in alternative technologies and fuels powered by electricity or biofuels.

The concept is simple. As a business customer, you add the GoGreen Plus (formerly “Skicka Grönt”) option to your shipment and thereby reduce carbon emissions throughout the entire transport journey, from pickup to delivery, compared with transport using conventional fossil diesel. The additional cost is used to cover carriers’ investments in alternative vehicle technologies and biofuels.

When you choose GoGreen Plus in Sweden, you actively support the transition towards more sustainable transport and decide how much your company reduces its emissions. Even if your specific shipment cannot be transported using alternative fuel on a particular day, we will ensure that an equivalent transport elsewhere in our Swedish network is carried out using biofuels or electricity. This means you can claim the corresponding reduction in fossil emissions compared with a standard shipment.

All of this is monitored and verified by an independent third party, SB-Cert. Read more about how DHL Freight Sweden calculates emissions here.

Your emissions data and achieved reductions are available in your customer-specific emissions report, which is provided free of charge.

*GoGreen Plus in Sweden is a value-added service to a DHL shipment contributing to decarbonization measures within DHL’s logistics network. By using alternative fuels and/or technologies DHL reduces the usage of fossil fuels in the mode of transport used for the GoGreen Plus shipment. This does not necessarily mean that the specific shipment is physically transported with the assets using these fuels or technologies. 

As the world’s leading logistics company, we have worked hard to set an example for sustainable business, from introducing the industry’s first green product to being the first logistics company to commit to net-zero emissions.  Explore our global indicatives to support sustainability
