How Does It Work?


DHL Global Forwarding reduces emissions of LCL shipments at no cost for all customers; for Buyer’s Consolidation, Multi-Country Consolidation and FCL shipments it comes at a premium.

Option 1: Insetting

Insetting is the replacement of Heavy Fuel Oils (HFO) by biofuels - one liter of SMF for one liter of heavy fuel oil! This reduces emissions in ocean freight shipping.

Option 2: Insetting + Offsetting

In addition to insetting, compensate remaining emissions (e.g. non ocean freight emissions or for example pick-up and delivery emissions) via VER Gold Standard carbon credits projects.

This door-to-door approach enables the full lifecycle emission compensation and makes your shipment truly climate-neutral.

Your GoGreen Plus CO₂ Reduction Certificates


With Ocean Freight GoGreen Plus, insetting is executed by a selected carrier partner on DHL Global Forwarding’s behalf for you.

If you are shipping FCL with DHL Global Forwarding, you decide on the scope (trade lane, shipped weight) of the insetting and receive an annual certificate (in PDF format) confirming the exact amount of CO₂ reduced. For this, an independent third-party agency, Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS) verifies that the emission reductions were realized. This certificate can be used by you to provide evidence of your Scope 3 emissions reduction (to your own auditors or customers).

In addition, you can request a monthly Carbon Report & GoGreen Plus Report, detailing your overall emissions & reductions with DHL Global Forwarding.
