German hypermarket chain Kaufland has chosen to use Deutsche Post DHL Group’s sustainable marine fuels solution for all full container load (FCL) shipments.
Kaufland is one of the first major customers in Germany to use the GoGreen Plus service for all FCL transports, a step which will decrease the company’s annual carbon emissions by approx. 12,000 tonnes of CO2e (TtW).
“Our service opens up the use of sustainable marine fuels and is proving to be very popular with our customers,” says Felix Heger, Head of Ocean Freight and China Rail, DHL Global Forwarding Germany.
“The demand for green transport solutions is growing steadily as companies are becoming increasingly aware of, and indeed taking on their environmental responsibility.
“We are delighted with Kaufland’s decision: We need prominent, strong partners to take this step with us and show that sustainability and economic viability are not mutually exclusive.”
DHL Global Forwarding has been working with Kaufland for over 12 years and handles its non-food merchandise ocean transports, 70% of which are shipped via the main trade lane between China and Germany.
“We have been working successfully with DHL Global Forwarding for many years and are pleased to be taking this next step together,” notes Alexander Frohmann, Managing Director International Transport Logistics at Kaufland.
“Sustainable marine fuel allows us to make our ocean transports more sustainable as we can reduce our carbon emissions while continuing to offer our customers products from all over the world.”
Sustainable marine fuel is an important lever for DHL Global Forwarding in reducing the environmental impact of ocean freight transports, it says.
The company makes sure that the waste-based biofuels it uses meet strict sustainability standards and qualify as the cleanest biofuels currently available on the market.
In keeping with its policy of “burn less – burn clean”, DHL Global Forwarding is consistently optimizing the carbon efficiency of its transport network, its fleet and its real estate.
In order to achieve its sustainability goals, Deutsche Post DHL Group is investing €7 billion in climate-neutral logistics solutions through 2030, by which point at least 30 percent of its fuel needs should be met by sustainable fuels.
