DHL Express and Aragen Life Sciences have partnered for DHL’s GoGreen Plus service to reduce scope-3 emissions.
Aragen becomes the first DHL customer to use the GoGreen Plus service across all its overseas trade lanes including the American and European routes.
GoGreen Plus uses SAF to enable customers to reduce scope-3 emissions, which include the CO2e emissions associated with their freight.
Unlike offsetting initiatives, GoGreen Plus (insetting) reduces emissions within the logistics sector. Therefore it can be used for DHL customers’ voluntary emission reporting.
The service uses sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to enable customers to reduce scope-3 emissions. For Aragen, it supports the company’s goal to reduce carbon emissions in international shipments.
GoGreen Plus, introduced in India, is made possible by large agreements with important suppliers. These include World Energy, BP, and Neste, who manufacture SAF using alternative raw materials with a sustainable energy profile.
R S Subramanian, Senior Vice President, South Asia, DHL Express, said, “Now more than ever, it has become necessary to address the problem of scope-3 emissions. With our GoGreen Plus service, we are assisting customers in this journey. We hope this agreement inspires others to adopt sustainable practices and embrace low-emission transport services through sustainable aviation fuel.”
Manni Kantipudi, CEO, Aragen Life Sciences, said, “Sustainability and ESG are key priority areas for Aragen. The collaboration with DHL Express will help us achieve our near-term target under SBTi by 2032. As a socially and environmentally responsible corporation, Aragen is committed to reducing carbon emissions produced while shipping internationally. The GoGreen Plus service will enable us to achieve this. Aragen and DHL have a long-standing association and this collaboration underscores our mutual commitment to responsible sustainable practices and managing our scope emissions with carbon insetting.”
