DHL launches Carbon Calculator

DHL has launched a new tool, the DHL Carbon Calculator, which enables its customers to calculate transport-related emissions for almost all shipment sizes and modes of transport. The calculation is carried out online based on intelligent algorithms.

“While many other computational tools provide only a rough estimate of the transport emissions and the route, the Carbon Calculator taps into real logistics data,” said Kathrin Brost, Vice President, Green Strategy and Customer Intelligence at DHL Global Forwarding.

These data include the route to the nearest airport or harbor, the main leg by air or sea and the “last mile” in the destination country.

According to Katharina Tomoff, Vice President, Shared Value, Deutsche Post DHL Group: “With the intuitively operated Carbon Calculator, our customers can determine in advance the exact environmental impact of their shipment – at any time, from any place and free of charge.”

To calculate the emissions, customers will enter the sender’s and receiver’s locations, as well as the weight and volume of a shipment  and the preferred mode of transport. The Carbon Calculator will recommend and calculate the amount of CO2 equivalent emissions that the transport will generate.
