CO2 Sustainable delivery with GoGreen Plus from Deutsche Post and DHL
We dispatch most orders within Germany using GoGreen Plus, the sustainability programme run by Deutsche Post and DHL. This enables us to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from shipping (CO2e) by at least 95 per cent.
How does it work? Within their logistics network, Deutsche Post and DHL are investing in alternative fuels and technologies, such as electric vehicles for transport or heat pumps in buildings.
The resulting CO2e reduction is allocated proportionally to your consignment, thereby reducing its CO2e footprint. However, this does not necessarily mean that your specific consignment is physically transported using vehicles or via facilities that utilise these sustainable fuels or technologies. Further information on GoGreen Plus can be found at www.GoGreenPlus.de
