DHL Global Forwarding, Freight introduces new “green“ feature

Worldwide available: DHL Global Forwarding, Freight adds new, automatic tracing application on CO2-emissions to its service portfolio

 
DHL Global Forwarding, Freight is by its own account the industry’s first company to introduce an automatic carbon footprint reporting feature as part of its track and trace system. The customer system complies with norms and latest industry standards. From October 1, customers are able to see the carbon footprint of their shipments within DHL’s web based services ‚DHLi Public Tracking‘ and ‚Active Tracing‘. The reporting service automatically appears in the system. The new feature is available for customers worldwide.
 
"More and more customers demand a precise calculation of their individual carbon emissions when shipping goods. The European Standard and the new regulation by the French government on the calculation of greenhouse gas emissions for transport services reinforce this trend. By implementing the report feature in our already existing tracking tools, we get ahead of competition and offer our customers individual reports that are easy to access", said Roger Crook, CEO DHL Global Forwarding, Freight.
 
To receive individual carbon footprint statements of their shipments via ‚Track & Trace‘ or via ‚Active Tracing‘, customers have to enter their shipment ID and click on the CO2 footprint button. The system will then provide the user with an individual carbon emissions notification. The data is compliant with the European Standard EN 16258, which was developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), as well as the new French Decree 2011-1336, which came into effect on October 1.
 
DHL Global Forwarding, Freight offer a wide range of green services, including Carbon Reports, the Carbon Dashboard (a supply chain efficiency visualization and simulation tool) as well as customer specific optimisation projects. The carbon footprint tracing feature offers customers transparency on the environmental impact of their transports. To achieve more detailed information for their transport management, they can receive a consolidated carbon report upon request.
