Deutsche Post DHL Group is introducing a global DHL GreenCarrier Certification to reward road transport subcontractors fortheir efforts to become more sustainable. As part of itssustainability roadmap, Deutsche Post DHL Group aims to reducegreenhouse gas emissions to below 29 million tons by 2030 andnet-zero by 2050. Ground transport accounts for 21 per cent of theGroup's total CO2e emissions. Accordingly, in addition toelectrification of the last mile and investment in alternativedrives and fuels in its own fleet, another important lever is thescope of sustainable transport services provided by the Group'sservice partners. By certifying its green subcontractors, theworld’s leading logistics provider underlines its responsibility interms of sustainability and climate change while at the same timecreating the necessary transparency for its stakeholders.

“Decarbonizing trade lanes and supply chains is a joint effortand has to be built on transparency and collaboration. With our DHLGreen Carrier Certification, we have implemented uniform andtransparent criteria when it comes to cooperating with our groundcarriers going forward. This approach brings us all another stepcloser to our ambitious goal of true climate-neutral transport,”Andreas Mündel, Senior Vice President Strategy & Operation Programsat Deutsche Post DHL Group.

Visibility on transport carriers’ emissions is one of thebiggest challenges and key in delivering Science BasedTargets. To provide this, the DHL divisions Express, Freightand Supply Chain jointly developed a standardized program to accessthe green performance and award the various partners providingground transport services to the divisions. The solution allows DHLto effectively manage relationships and reduce emissions: The greencarrier certification program helps to identify subcontractors thatare already contributing to sustainable logistics, whileencouraging even more investment in green technologies to reduceour as well as our carriers and our customers CO2 footprint. Inthis way, DHL not only can increase transparency for allstakeholders but also become more sustainable in road freighttransportation.

Among other things, the carriers should have an environmental orsustainability strategy in place, measure their carbon footprint,and be transparent with their data. In addition to basictechnologies such as low rolling resistance tires, aerodynamicenhancements and idle cut-off, leading green carriers also workwith advanced green technologies such as sustainable fuels andalternative drives. All relevant information will be obtained via adedicated online platform and are verified in an internal auditprocess. Based on the findings, the subcontractors are ranked inthe four categories 'Pass', 'Good', 'Excellent’ and ‘Outstanding’.The gained transparency on the environmental performance will helpoffer customers greener services and create an additional decisionpoint for future transport tenders and assignments.

Since the beginning of 2021, the Group’s road freight providerDHL Freight alone has already surveyed more than 600 selectedservice partners from Germany, Belgium, Spain and the Netherlandson their sustainability performance. One of the first carriers thatgot certified by DHL Freight is the pan European Lithuania basedroad freight provider Girteka Logistics. “We are proud to be one ofthe first forwarding companies to receive this certificate. Itencourages us to continue focusing more on alternative drivetechnologies in the future,” says Pavel Kveten, COO Europe atGirteka Logistics.

DHL Supply Chain, the contract logistics provider, is currentlyrolling out the initiative via the online platform in selectedcountries and regions. The full worldwide rollout will follow in2022. This will be an important contributor to successfully reduceCO2e emissions – next to DHL Supply Chain's commitment to provideCO2 free warehousing and decarbonize own fleet across theglobe.

The international express service provider DHL Express hasincluded the certification as part of the tendering process for itsground-based transport and has received consistently positivefeedback from carriers.

The DHL divisions will also survey subcontractors in othercountries and award them in the coming months. DHL GlobalForwarding successfully implemented a Green Carrier Certificationprogram for its air and ocean freight transport services alreadyten years ago, which flows seamlessly into the Group’s program.

The introduction of the DHL Green Carrier Certification is oneof many initiatives that Deutsche Post DHL Group has launched aspart of its sustainability strategy. To reduce CO2 emissionsin line with the Paris Climate Agreement, the Group is investing €7billion in climate-neutral logistics solutions through 2030. Thesustainability roadmap includes, for example, programs for thepurchase of sustainable fuels in air and ocean freight, theelectrification of the last mile delivery and buildingclimate-neutral logistics sites and warehouses foroperations.
