DHL turns of the lights for World Environment Day

DHL Express has launched ‘My Green Day’ – an initiative designed to raise environmental awareness among employees.

By turning off the lights in their offices for one hour on 5 June, DHL employees around the world are being encouraged to commit to a more conscious use of energy, and hence a greener lifestyle at work and at home.

In addition to the lights off initiative, DHL also encourages staff to make personal commitments, to adopt more environmentally conscientious habits and use resources such as paper and water responsibly.

Symbolic of DHL’s commitment to reducing its environmental impact, ‘My Green Day’ is aligned with the company’s GoGreen Climate Protection Program launched in April last year. As part of this program, DHL is committed to improve its carbon efficiency by 30% by 2020, compared to 2007 levels.

DHL, along with its parent company, Deutsche Post DHL, was the first company in the logistics sector to set specific and quantifiable CO2 targets and will apply this by taking a focused approach across four key functions – air, road, real estate and products and services. For example, DHL will progressively modernise its fleet to more fuel-efficient aircraft and vehicles, and install more energy efficient lighting and insulation among others.
