DEUTSCHE POST DHL

Deutsche Post DHL is one of the world’s largest private transportation networks consisting of large fleets of vehicles and aircraft, and operations facilities in over 220 countries and territories. They acknowledge that while they are facilitating trade, their global operations also have a considerable impact on the environment. As such, they accept their responsibility to improve their ways.

In 2008 Deutsche Post DHL launched their climate protection program - GoGreen - to respond to climate change and by doing so, became the first major company in their industry to set quantifiable climate protection targets. The GoGreen Program’s main goal is to improve their CO2 efficiency which is a core element of the Group’s environmental strategy.

Their target is to improve their CO2 efficiency across all of their operations, including subcontracted transportation services, by 30 per cent by 2020. They have already entered into discussion with their subcontractors and have taken their first steps toward achieving their 2012 milestone of a 10 per cent CO2 efficiency improvement in their own operation.

 Quote of the week
"The University of the West of England, Bristol is delighted to support the UN's Climate Neutral Network. We look forward to actively participating, learning from the successes of fellow members and sharing the outcomes of the actions that we have taken to reduce our own carbon dependency. Joining this new Network is further evidence of the University's strong commitment to sustainability. The University is already taking vigorous action to reduce the carbon footprint of its operations - we cut gas consumption by 46% between 2006 and 2007 - and we seek to ensure that our students - the leaders and thinkers of tomorrow - are aware of the challenges and opportunities of creating a sustainable and low-carbon future. We also carry out key research into climate change issues through an Institute dedicated to sustainability. In addition we are responding strategically to the challenges of sustainability and climate change via a Sustainability Board, chaired by the Deputy Vice Chancellor."

Professor James Longhurst, Associate Dean and Professor of Environmental Science, University of the West of England, Bristol
