As a key player in the freight transport sector, DPD, as part of Geopost*, recognises the need to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. From 2024, we are implementing stronger climate protection measures to set a clear path towards a greener future, with the aim of reducing GHG emissions across our entire supply chain to zero by 2040.
We will achieve this in two steps. By 2030, we aim to cut CO2 emissions by 43% compared to 2020 levels. This will involve reducing direct emissions from transport and indirect emissions by increasing our use of renewable energy sources.
By 2040, we will reduce our CO2 emissions by 90% compared to 2020 levels, with the remaining 10% offset by projects that capture and store CO2. This plan ensures DPD is driving real change and leading the logistics industry towards a carbon-neutral future.
To achieve our net-zero science-based targets by 2040, we will focus on
- Electrifying the first and last mile delivery fleet by increasing the share of alternative transport solutions (including electric vans, cargo bikes and delivery on foot) to 85% by 2030 (100% in 2035).
- Diversifying the linehaul fleet to include alternative powertrain technologies such as biogas, biofuel, electric and hydrogen-powered trucks, as well as shifting more parcels to rail to increase the share of alternative linehaul transport solutions to 50% by 2030 (100% in 2040).
- Switching to renewable energy to power logistics sites and offices and driving towards more energy efficiency, with the objective of using 70% of energy from renewable sources by 2030 (100% in 2035).
