DHL GO GREEN
MAKING A SMALL CONTRIBUTION TO SOMETHING BIG
Responsibility for environmental protection and sustainability is a central aspect of our business activities. Therefore, wherever we have influence, we want to use it and contribute to making our world a more livable place.
We ship our DHL parcels CO₂-neutrally with the DHL GOGREEN product at no additional cost to you. CO₂ emissions generated during transport are calculated and offset by DHL through sustainable measures and climate protection projects (e.g., biosand water filters in Honduras, wind farms in Nicaragua, or reforestation projects in Panama and Uganda).
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 minimal firewood and offers longer heat output.
The low demand for firewood not only reduces deforestation and soil erosion, but above all improves people's health conditions.
In addition, the revenue generated by GOGREEN will be used to implement additional DHL projects to actively reduce CO₂ emissions. These include converting DHL vehicles to low- or zero-emission vehicles, increasing the use of solar energy, and using green fuels such as biodiesel or vegetable oil.
The goal is to improve Deutsche Post DHL's CO2 efficiency by 30 percent by 2020 compared to 2007.
Together we have the opportunity to actively contribute to something great and leave a healthy environment for future generations.

DPD

The delivery time will be indicated in the notification from the DPD courier. If you are not available after 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 DPD depot by phone, specify a different delivery location for your shipment (e.g., your workplace), or collect your shipment from the specified DPD depot within five days. Alternatively, you can have your parcel delivered directly to one of the 5,000 DPD Parcel Shops.
