DHL Express Bahrain head moves to Saudi

Posted by | Oct 11, 2007 | |

DHL Express Bahrain yesterday announced the redeployment of its top brass to boost operations in the Kingdom and Saudi Arabia.

Nour Suliman, its Bahrain Country Manager for six years with 29 years experience with the express and logistics provider, has been made the Country Manager for its operations in Saudi Arabia.

Mark Benton, DHL’s Country Manager for Oman, replaces Nour Suliman at DHL Express Bahrain. Mark has been with DHL since 2000 when he joined DHL Express New Zealand as National Operations Manager. After three years, Mark moved to SNAS/DHL Saudi Arabia as National Operations Manager based in Al Khobar. In April 2006, he was given the Oman posting.

Suliman and Benton’s promotions come as part of DHL’s continuous plan for expanding and growing the business in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, said Dave Spargo, Regional Area Director for DHL Middle East. Saudi Arabia is considered the biggest logistics market in the Middle East, and Bahrain is strategically important, as the location for the company’s regional hub, as well as a local market continuing to offer growth in the express freight and logistics business.

Tetra Pak and DHL in alliance for reduced emissions

Posted by | Oct 10, 2007 | |

The global packaging company opts for DHL’s environmental service, GoGreen
Express shipments from Sweden will be handled via GoGreen, DHL’s carbon-neutral shipping service.
DHL, and Tetra Pak have entered into broad cooperation in the environmental field. The arrangement means that all express shipments from Sweden will be handled via DHL’s unique environmental service, GOGREEN.
GOGREEN is a carbon-neutral shipping service. This means that DHL measures the carbon dioxide emissions caused by a customer’s shipments and then neutralizes emissions by an equivalent amount somewhere else in the world. To calculate the emissions from different flights, DHL uses a specially developed and patented program.
For almost thirty years, Tetra Pak and DHL have collaborated closely and very successfully in the transport field. They took a further significant step recently when Tetra Pak decided to opt for DHL’s environmental service, GOGREEN. The first stage will cover all express shipments from Sweden.
The reduction of carbon emission is enabled through investments in different environmental projects. It can be projects about new technology for vehicles, usage of new alternative fuels, methane extraction, sun panels. The whole process for CO2-calculations for reducing the emissions through various projects is annually checked by the well known certifying and verifying company, SGS in Switzerland.
For Tetra Pak, environmental investments are an important issue within the company.
“As Tetra Pak grows, so we transport more and more goods. We want to use forwarders who can help us to grow without increasing our carbon dioxide emissions. In this situation, GOGREEN is seen as a natural step. For ten years now, we have ranked forwarders, and companies that do not manage to live up to our high environmental standards are automatically dropped,” says Agneta Melin, Tetra Pak’s environmental manager for the Nordic region and the Baltic republics.
