The environment matters to us and we have a very sound GOGREEN environmental program in place. With the carbon neutral shipment service, we will be able to offer an environmentally sound contribution not just to COP15, but also towards a more sustainable future for our planet.”
Olling said: “There is a lot at stake for our planet at COP15. As a host country, Denmark is well aware of its responsibility. This includes the importance of providing the best possible infrastructure for the conference and its delegations. To this end, we have teamed up with DHL in creating the possibility for delegates to ship essential conference items in a fast and reliable way. We are particularly happy that our partnership with DHL includes a carbon offset solution to make the shipments less damaging to the environment and climate”
