Skicka Grönt

100% fossil free transport - which drives development

The concept is simple. You as a customer buy Skicka Grönt for your shipment and reduce the emission of carbon dioxide all the way from pickup to recipient. The cost goes directly to Skicka Grönt transporters' additional costs for vehicles and fuels that meet Fossil-free Sweden's criteria.

When you, as a customer, book Skicka Grönt, you actively effect development and control your own reduction in emissions, and we make sure to carry out the corresponding fossil-free transports.  

We have chosen that Skicka Grönt always are included for parcels between private individuals and for the e-commerce service Parcel Connect. So when these services are selected, it automatically becomes fossil-free shipping. As a private individual, you can also add Skicka Grönt in our app when you are the recipient of a home delivery.

We want to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and switch to fossil-free transport (as defined by Fossil Free Sweden). As early as 2008, DHL adopted a global environmental goal of reducing fossil carbon dioxide emissions by 30% per tonne-kilometer by 2020. Sweden reached that level in 2016. Way ahead of schedule. We track this key figure [CO2 e WtW/tonne-km] over time and it is also available in customers' emissions reports as this also captures the efficiency of groupage, blending of renewable fuels according to the reduction obligation, intermodal transport by rail, and more.

At DHL Freight, we focus on increasing the share of renewable fuels, electric vehicles in urban areas and reaching the standard of climate-neutral buildings in our own new construction. Globally, the target is at least 30% renewable fuel as a whole, but the possibilities vary for different countries in Europe.
