What approach does DHL have towards the environment?
A. As a global logistics and transportation company, DHL relies on vehicles, aircraft and ships to be able to provide the fast and efficient services our customers expect of us. Operating these vehicles and aircraft utilises fossil fuels (such as petrol or diesel) and produces carbon dioxide emissions – which are associated with the greenhouse effect and global warming. Being a responsible corporate citizen means looking for innovative ways of reducing and managing our environmental impacts – particularly the carbon dioxide emissions associated with our operations. To date a number of initiatives have been set up to address this issue. Two of the most significant are our Global Environmental Management Systems (GEMS) project and our Climate Change Strategy work. More detail on our approach to this can be found in the Environment section.
