DHL Express launched GoGreen Plus in 2023, allowing clients to reduce the CO2 emissions related to their freight by using CO2-insetting and SAF.

Three of the major SAF contracts, with BP, Neste, and World Energy, have helped to make GoGreen Plus “possible” stated DHL.

GoGreen Plus is a component of the DHL Group’s objective of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050, in addition to its air network accounting for over 90% of the company’s carbon footprint.

Sebastian Dietzmann, COO of Mytheresa “Based on this unique long-term agreement with DHL Express on the use of SAF, we will be able to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions per order shipped.”

“With this largest ever investment by a company in Europe in DHL Express’ GoGreen Plus program, Mytheresa underlines its extraordinary ESG commitment and offers its luxury customers an even more sustainable shopping experience in the future.”

This agreement follows DHL signing one of the largest SAF agreements in the world with World Energy in October 2023. The deal featured over 668 million litres of SAF via certificates.
