DHL offers green option in US

DHL Global Mail became the first mail services provider in the US to enable customers to send shipments in a way that leaves a net zero carbon footprint. Eco-conscious companies can now choose a new method of shipping and mailing that supports their environmental protection goals.

Global Mail is pleased to introduce the GOGREEN Carbon Offset service, a carbon neutral shipping and mailing option for materials sent within the US. This voluntary service allows Global Mail customers to offset the CO₂ emissions produced during the delivery of their shipments by paying a small fee to help fund climate protection projects. Available for all of the company’s domestic shipping and mailing products, this new offering is part of the GoGreen climate protection program – an initiative of Deutsche Post DHL, Global Mail’s corporate parent.

“Many of our customers share our commitment to the environment, and they voiced their desire for a more eco-friendly mailing option,” said Lee Spratt, CEO of DHL Global Mail – Americas. “GOGREEN helps our customers reduce their carbon footprints in a practical and transparent way, while expanding Global Mail’s own climate protection efforts.”
