DHL and Brother team up on emissions
August 30, 2024
DHL Express and Brother Industries collaborate to cut carbon emissions by utilising sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
DHL Express and Brother Industries have partnered to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The collaboration focuses on using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in DHL’s global air freight operations. By integrating SAF, which reduces carbon emissions by up to 80% compared to traditional jet fuel, the two companies aim to accelerate their environmental sustainability goals.
Brother Industries, a global leader in manufacturing printers, sewing machines, and other industrial products, will leverage DHL’s extensive logistics network to transport goods with lower carbon footprints. The use of SAF aligns with Brother’s commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 and supports DHL’s broader sustainability strategy of having 30% of its aviation fuel derived from sustainable sources by 2030.
“Our partnership with DHL Express reflects our sustainable efforts to reduce the environmental impact of the manufacturing and logistics industries,” said Wataru Shimizu, General Manager of Brother Industries (Philippines), Inc.
Nigel Lockett, DHL Express Philippines Country Manager, said: “GoGreen Plus enables Brother Industries (Philippines) to reduce its Scope 3 emissions, the indirect GHG emissions in a company’s value chain, including downstream transportation and distribution. We hope this collaboration will inspire more companies to adopt low-emission transportation services using sustainable aviation fuel,”
In 2023, DHL Express launched the GoGreen Plus service, which allows customers to reduce the GHG emissions associated with their international air freight via SAF. GoGreen Plus is made possible by three of the most significant SAF contracts with BP, Neste, and World Energy.
