The Producers
Sustainability
As we continue to expand our services across the globe, we also strive to increase the benefits we deliver to the communities in which we operate. This effort is matched with a commitment to reducing the environmental costs of our operations.
Environmental Sustainability
Environmental Management and Sustainability are at the core of what we do. Our customers are increasingly expecting greener supply chain solutions and within the logistics industry we were pioneers in setting quantifiable carbon efficiency targets. Our target: a 10% reduction of carbon emissions by 2012 and a 30% reduction by 2020. Our DHL environmental program – Go Green – supports the achievement of our environmental targets by focusing on three key areas:
- Measurement of our carbon footprint to be transparent on our impacts and to understand our progress towards targets
- Management of our environmental impacts by building a foundation of environmental management according to the principles of ISO 14001
- Improving our carbon efficiency and reducing our environmental impacts through rollout of key environment programs in the areas of energy efficiency, transport, waste management and employee engagement.
Social Responsibility
We are part of a movement of businesses and organizations around the world that are applying their competencies and resources to the pressing challenges we face as a society. Our strategy is to focus on three core elements: community, people and the environment.
Our goal is to use our core competencies and our employees' skills and talents to make a difference to people's lives in the communities where we are present.
In 2006 we entered into a global partnership with UNICEF to provide long-term assistance in its worldwide fight to reduce child mortality. We run a global donation program and our employee volunteers support health and education initiatives around the world.
