DHL GO-GREEN
MAKE A SMALL CONTRIBUTION TO SOMETHING BIG
Responsibility for environmental protection and sustainability is a central aspect of our business operations. Therefore, wherever we have influence, we want to use it to contribute to making our world a better place to live.
We ship our DHL parcels CO₂-neutrally with the DHL GOGREEN product at no extra cost to you. This involves calculating the CO₂ emissions generated during transport and offsetting them through sustainable measures and climate protection projects (e.g., biosand water filters in Honduras, wind farms in Nicaragua, or reforestation in Panama and Uganda) by DHL.
A very special project can be admired in southern Africa, which was financed by Deutsche Post DHL and implemented with the non-profit climate protection organization atmosfair and the local partner SolarLights.
Households in Lesotho can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 80% with the efficient Save80 stove compared to traditional open-fire cooking methods. The stove requires a minimum of firewood and provides longer-lasting heat.
The reduced demand for firewood not only reduces deforestation and soil erosion, but above all improves people's health.
Furthermore, the revenue generated by GOGREEN will fund additional DHL projects aimed at actively reducing CO₂ emissions. These include, among other things, converting DHL vehicles to low-emission or zero-emission vehicles, increasing the use of solar energy, and using green fuels such as biodiesel or vegetable oil.
The goal is to continuously improve CO₂ efficiency.
Together we have the opportunity to actively contribute to something great and leave a healthy environment for future generations.

DPD

You will find the delivery time on the notification from the DPD courier. If you are also unavailable for the second delivery attempt, your parcel will be taken to the DPD depot in your region. You can then either arrange a new delivery date with your local DPD depot by phone, specify a different delivery address (e.g., your workplace), or collect your parcel from the designated DPD depot within 5 days. Alternatively, you can have your parcel delivered directly to one of the 5,000 DPD ParcelShops.
