DHL provides eco-friendly mail services for FIFA Women’s World Cup

Deutsche Post DHL is handling the dispatch and delivery of tickets for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2011, with more than 100,000 ticket buyers receiving their tickets by mail using Deutsche Post’s environmentally friendly GOGREEN service.

According to Steffi Jones, president of the World Cup Organising Committee, more than 680,000 tickets have already been sold, which need to be delivered.

As the official mail partner of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2011, Deutsche Post delivers tickets both within Germany and internationally. The carbon emissions resulting from these shipments will be calculated and offset through acknowledged climate protection projects, with Deutsche Post assuming the costs to offset the CO₂ emissions.

Deutsche Post DHL’s GOGREEN service can be combined with all of its products and services for which CO₂ emissions data can be fully calculated and offset. Emissions are offset by purchasing carbon credits for climate protection projects, providing both businesses and consumers with an opportunity to help protect the environment.

Last year alone, Deutsche Post DHL sent 1.7 billion items carbon neutral both within Germany and internationally, offsetting more than 82,000 metric tons of CO₂ for its customers.
