Logistics giant DHL Group’s air and ocean freight business DHL Global Forwarding announced today the launch of its new GoGreen Plus Portfolio, offering shippers a suite of decarbonization-focused products, including a new industry-first offering a 10% emissions reduction at a flat rate across markets, shipment types, and routes.

DHL’s GoGreen service provides shippers with the option of climate-neutral shipping through investments in internationally recognized climate protection projects to offset emissions generated during transport. GoGreen Plus aims to offer real emissions reductions through carbon “insetting,” enabling shippers to replace conventional fossil fuels with sustainable fuels or clean technologies, such as SAF, using a book-and-claim approach.

DHL Global Forwarding’s new portfolio includes GoGreen Plus Base, which provides shippers with a default 10% emissions reduction for all eligible shipments at a fixed flat rate, which applies across markets, shipment types, and routes, independent of origin or destination, which the company said is fully scalable and available to customers of all sizes.

Kathrin Brost, Vice President Global Head of GoGreen Program at DHL Global Forwarding, said:

“You don’t need to invest millions to make a difference. Any business can start small, with just a few extra Euros per shipment and without additional effort. This is a major step forward toward enabling more sustainable supply chains at scale.”

Additional new offerings include GoGreen Plus Premium, which provides 85% emissions reduction through book & claim solutions, priced at lane level, and GoGreen Plus Select, which provides tailored decarbonization solutions with flexible emissions reduction levels for large GoGreen Plus customers, customized to individual supply chains.

According to DHL, the new offerings are being introduced as demand for reliable emission-reduced services continues to rise, and supports the company’s sustainability roadmap, launched by the company in 2021, which included targets to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and its to use 30% sustainable fuels by 2030.

Amanda Rasmussen, Chief Commercial Officer at DHL Global Forwarding, said:

“We are proud to introduce solutions that truly change what customers can expect from emission reduced logistics.”
