The initiative aims to reduce carbon emissions in the transportation and logistics industry, which is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. The use of the word "plus" in the title suggests that the initiative goes beyond DHL's existing GoGreen program and may include additional measures or targets to further enhance the company's environmental sustainability efforts.

This is a first for global express carriers, and will initially launch in the UK, shortly followed by Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and the United Arab Emirates. Starting this month, customers based in these countries will have the option to select GoGreen Plus when choosing their shipping service through MyDHL+, the company’s online shipping and tracking platform. The service is designed to be fully flexible as it can be selected for individual shipments.

GoGreen Plus will become available to all DHL Express customers globally over the coming months, with customers being given the chance to tailor the CO₂e reduction they want to achieve and the amount of SAF they use.
