DPD announces carbon neutral packages
Published Wednesday, 15 February 2012
From July, the logistics company will offset the carbon emissions from delivery of 2.5 million parcels a day.
"We created Total Zero because we recognise that the highly carbon-intensive logistics industry needs to reduce its carbon footprint and its impact on the planet," said UK CEO Dwain McDonald in a statement. "We will carry on looking at every aspect of our business so that we can continue to significantly reduce our emissions per parcel year-on-year."
The volume of carbon offsets purchased by DPD will be around 500,000 tonnes a year. Other initiatives launched by the company include eco-driving training for couriers, more accurate predictions of delivery to avoid the need to redliver, and the introduction of the UK's largest fleet of double-deck trailers, which hold a third more volume than conventional trucks.
