Environmentally-friendly products

With its GOGREEN products, Deutsche Post DHL became the first logistics company to offer its customers the option of sending carbon neutral packages. The transport-related CO₂ emissions are calculated and offset through internal reduction measures and external climate protection projects.

GoGreen - How it works

The Carbon Management is a central copmonent of Deutsche Post DHL's climate protection program and enables the CO₂-neutral GOGREEN shipping service.

Our Carbon management measures the CO₂ emissions caused during the transport and handling of client packages. Internal measures are then initiated to reduce CO₂. At the same time, Carbon Management invests in external climate protection projects, which offset CO₂ emissions.

Other environmentally-friendly services: Packstation

The PACKSTATION service is built around a network of parcel machines located throughout Germany. This flexibility means there are fewer wasted journeys. The PACKSTATION is open at all times, regardless of when the post office is open. A study completed in Cologne, Germany, has shown that the PACKSTATION cuts down on car traffic by 35,000 kilometers per year. This reduces emissions of carbon dioxide, particulates and other pollutants.

New stamps are issued every two years by the German Federal Ministry of Finance and carry a surcharge of 25 Euro cents.
