In line with its policy of transparency and environmental care, DHL Global Forwarding, a global leader in air and ocean freight, offers its customers the ability to track CO2 emissions, as well as a service for generating so-called carbon reports. These reports illustrate the exhaust emissions that have the greatest impact on climate change caused by the logistics industry.
DHL customers can use the Track & Trace system, which allows for tracking CO2 emissions. It is available on the website for all DHL Global Forwarding customers. It was created based on the highest standards, in accordance with the following protocols: Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol), Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, and Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard.
The customer logs into the system, enters the shipment number, and then receives free information regarding exhaust emissions during the transport of their goods. The Track & Trace system shows exhaust emissions in two ways: according to the French decree 2011-1336 and according to the European standard EN 16258. Upon customer request, DHL Global Forwarding also prepares a CO2 Carbon Report – a collective, detailed report for all of a given customer’s shipments from a selected period (quarter or year).
A key goal of the Deutsche Post DHL Group is to minimize the negative impact of the company’s operations on the environment, with particular attention to controlling exhaust emissions into the atmosphere. Environmental protection and business success not only can go hand in hand, but are also closely linked.
