Brother Industries (Philippines), Inc. has subscribed to DHL Express Philippines’ GoGreen Plus service to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
By using the service, Brother can achieve a 30% reduction in its annual GHG emissions associated with international parcels through the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), DHL Express said in a statement.
The GoGreen Plus service is a global initiative by DHL towards a sustainable future by transitioning from the use of traditional jet fuel to SAF.
SAF is an alternative fuel produced from sustainable feedstocks, including used cooking oil and food waste.
This program is a key part of DHL Group’s sustainability goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
The partnership with DHL Express aligns with the Brother Group’s Environmental Vision 2050, which aims to minimize the environmental impact of its business operations by reducing GHG emissions across all activities.
The company adheres to internationally recognized standards such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, EN 16258 and the Global Logistics Emissions Council Framework to calculate and report its United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 13 Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, representing direct and indirect emissions both in own assets and within its supply chain.
To calculate the market-based effects, DHL Express uses the guidelines of the Voluntary Market Based Measures Framework for Logistics Emissions Accounting and Reporting published by the Smart Freight Centre.
“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,” said Nigel Lockett, DHL Express Philippines country manager.
“Our partnership with DHL Express reflects our sustainable efforts to reduce the environmental impact of the manufacturing and logistics industries,” said Wataru Shimizu, Brother Industries (Philippines) general manager.
In 2023, DHL Express launched the GoGreen Plus service, allowing customers to reduce their GHG emissions associated with their air freight with the help of SAF. GoGreen Plus is made possible by three of the most significant SAF contracts with BP, Neste, and World Energy.
