DHL Express and Brother Industries Philippines, Inc. Commit to reducing the carbon footprint with sustainable aviation fuel

“GoGreen Plus enables Brother Industries (Philippines) to reduce its Scope 3 emissions, the indirect GHG emissions in a company's value chain, including downstream transportation and distribution. We hope this collaboration will inspire more companies to adopt low-emission transportation services using sustainable aviation fuel.” ~Nigel Lockett, DHL Express Philippines Country Manager

DHL Express and Brother Industries (Philippines), Inc. have teamed up to strengthen their commitment to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions via DHL Express's GoGreen Plus service. Using this service and the book and claim methodology, Brother can reduce its annual GHG emissions from international parcels by 30%.

As a global logistics leader, DHL is committed to leading by example in sustainable logistics and achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. The GoGreen Plus service is a key initiative that allows customers to reduce GHG emissions from international shipments by using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). SAF is a more sustainable jet fuel derived from renewable energy, sustainable plants, or waste. It reduces greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 80% when compared to conventional jet fuel derived from fossil fuels. 

The collaboration with DHL Express is consistent with the Brother Group's Environmental Vision 2050, which seeks to reduce the environmental impact of its business operations by lowering GHG emissions across all activities. To calculate and report Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, the company follows internationally recognized standards such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, EN 16258, and the Global Logistics Emissions Council Framework, which represent direct and indirect emissions both in its own assets and within its supply chain. DHL Express calculates market-based effects using the Voluntary Market Based Measures Framework for Logistics Emissions Accounting and Reporting, which was published by the Smart Freight Center.

“Our partnership with DHL Express reflects our sustainable efforts to reduce the environmental impact of the manufacturing and logistics industries.” ~Wataru Shimizu, Brother Industries (Philippines), Inc., General Manager

In 2023, DHL Express launched the GoGreen Plus service, allowing customers to reduce the GHG emissions associated with their international air freight via SAF. GoGreen Plus is made possible by three of the most significant SAF contracts with bp, Neste, and World Energy.
