Deutsche Post DHL are implementing a program,Go Green introduced in 2010. The program has been launched group-wide with an updated Environmental Policy. Deutsche Post DHL core businesses, mail and logistics, result in emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), making climate protection the primary focus of their efforts. However, the environmental protection program, Go Green, also sets the stage for environmental management systems, covering the local management of aspects such as water, waste, noise, the use of natural resources and local air pollution.
Specifically the policy aims to;
- Improve carbon efficiency by 30% by 2020 compared to 2007. This includes emissions from subcontracted transportation.
- Comply with applicable international, regional and national environmental regulations, and taking additional measures to continually improve environmental performance.
- Develop and maintain an environmental management system which is ISO 14001 compliant.
- Work with suppliers to minimize the environmental impact of the goods and services procured.
- Considering environmental aspects in all major investment and procurement decisions.
- Offer carbon-neutral, carbon-reduced and environmentally-friendly products and services to help customers to “go green”, and to generate value.
- Work with customers to assess and reduce their environmental footprint and to achieve their environmental goals.
To implement GoGreen successfully across the Group, the program is driven by dedicated departments at corporate and divisional level and strongly linked with the Group’s management processes.
