In Germany, DHL Express said it has signed a five-year strategic partnership with Mytheresa, a luxury e-commerce platform, for its new GoGreen Plus service. This enables CO2e emissions to be reduced through the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) instead of conventional jet fuel. Mytheresa will invest several million euros in GoGreen Plus over a period of five years. It is estimated that this investment in GoGreen Plus will enable Mytheresa to reduce the CO2e emissions associated with its international shipments by more than 27,000 tons over the five years. John Pearson, CEO of DHL Express, said: “Mytheresa is committed to working with us to make international express transportation more sustainable. I am delighted that we are able to offer the GoGreen Plus service by using SAF in our international network. This makes Mytheresa the first and largest e-commerce platform based in Germany to invest in SAF and to invest an impressive figure to make international express deliveries more sustainable. We hope this agreement will inspire others to take action and support the transition to low-emission transport services via sustainable aviation fuel.” GoGreen Plus was launched by DHL Express last year and uses CO2-insetting and SAF to enable customers to reduce the CO2e emissions associated with their freight.
