Deutsche Post DHL further enhanced its portfolio of GOGREEN services. By adopting the internationally recognized GHG Protocol Product Lifecycle Accounting and Reporting Standard, Deutsche Post DHL now ships its worldwide GOGREEN products 100% climate neutral. For CO2, the main greenhouse gas generated by transport services, accounting and reporting will continue.

In addition, the company will now also collect data on other relevant greenhouse gases, such as methane and nitrous oxide. By adopting and implementing the new standards, the company expands its quantification and reporting to the upstream emissions generated by the production and transport of energy and fuel. The changes will also apply to the GOGREEN product category Carbon Report.

In line with this new standard customers will benefit from greater transparency. Carbon Reports for DHL Express and DHL Global Forwarding and Freight customers will also be generated in compliance with the current European standard EN 16258 (Calculation and declaration of energy consumption and GHG emissions of transport services). Overall, the company's customers benefit from the possibility to even better manage environmental-impacts and related costs and, by taking advantage of the GOGREEN climate neutral service, customers can further increase their contribution to climate protection.

The expanded product options are verified annually by the external audit company Societe Generale de Surveillance (SGS). In addition to the Carbon Reports, the company also provides GOGREEN products and services in two additional categories: Green Optimization and Climate Neutral.
