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.

DHL welcomes visit of local MP Mike Penning to site

Posted by | Oct 9, 2007 | |

DHL was delighted to welcome local MP Mike Penning to its Hemel Hempstead site. On his visit, Mike aimed to find out how the company coped following the devastating explosion at the Buncefield oil storage depot in 2005. After having campaigned strongly on the Buncefield issue, Mike was interested to hear about the ‘can-do’ attitude of employees at the DHL site and the teamwork involved in ensuring business carried on as usual in spite of difficulties caused by the disaster.

Mike met and talked to local staff and heard about the DHL operation in Hemel Hempstead, which equates to 28 vehicles, the pick-up of 1,250 packages and 1,400 shipments per day. Mike was interested in finding out about the wide area covered by the service centre.

Reflecting DHL’s position as a local business, employing local people and providing a vital service for the local economy, DHL is always keen to develop strong relationships with local parliamentarians in order to understand the community better but also to brief MPs on relevant issues related to the company and its operations within their constituencies.
