DHL Global Forwarding, the freight specialist arm of the DHL Group, is working with Datalogic, a global technology leader in the automatic data capture and factory automation markets, to undertake a joint effort to reduce CO₂ emissions throughout logistics and supply chain operations. DHL Global Forwarding Vietnam has emerged as the strategic partner for Datalogic, offering the GoGreen Plus Solution for Datalogic’s ocean freight shipments to and from Vietnam. This partnership also establishes Datalogic as the first customer in Vietnam to adopt the GoGreen Plus Solution.
“In the logistics industry, leadership extends beyond efficiency; it encompasses responsibility. We are honoured to support Datalogic in delivering a more sustainable logistics approach. Through this partnership, we are moving goods and forging a path where environmental consciousness meets operational excellence. Together, we navigate a course where each shipment signifies a commitment to a greener, more responsible future for our industry and the planet we share,” said Laurence Cheung, Managing Director of DHL Global Forwarding Vietnam.
DHL Global Forwarding’s GoGreen Plus provides Datalogic with an effective solution for reducing carbon emissions in Full-Container Load (FCL) and Less-Than-Container Load (LCL) shipments. For LCL shipments, a combination of insetting and offsetting methods is employed. The insetting approach involves substituting Heavy Fuel Oils (HFO) with eco-friendly alternatives such as biofuels or Sustainable Marine Fuel, substantially reducing emissions.
Simultaneously, offsetting is achieved by utilizing VER Gold Standard carbon credits, implementing a comprehensive door-to-door strategy that addresses emissions throughout the entire lifecycle. Meanwhile, for FCL shipments, the primary focus is offsetting the main haul transportation, ensuring a significant environmental impact and leading the way in the sustainable shipping journey.
DHL Global Forwarding Vietnam has maintained a longstanding partnership with Datalogic Vietnam. Both companies share a dedication to sustainable logistics, actively contributing to the global fight against climate change. This collaboration is expected to reduce 40,000 kilograms of CO₂ Well-to-Wheel emissions.
“At Datalogic, sustainability is at the core of our values. Partnering with DHL Global Forwarding Vietnam on the GoGreen Plus initiative aligns with our commitment to responsible business practices. This collaboration benefits our operations and fosters a sustainable and environmentally mindful supply chain,” said Le Xuan Vinh, Global Logistics Manager – APAC of Datalogic.
With a mission to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, the DHL Group is dedicated to green operations in the fight against climate change. GoGreen Plus forms an integral part of the Group’s 2030 sustainability roadmap, contributing to the sub-goal of ensuring that a minimum of 30 per cent of fuel requirements come from sustainable sources. The GoGreen Plus service is available for Ocean Freight and Air Freight shipments, allowing customers to decarbonize their transport efforts. In alignment with the Paris Climate Agreement, the Group is investing EUR 7 billion in sustainable fuel and clean technologies by 2030, demonstrating a steadfast commitment to reducing CO₂ emissions.
