DHL Says Small Efficiencies Can Deliver Big Carbon Savings

From Greenbiz.com: “”The first thing you need to understand about greening a supply chain is that the term ‘green’ is not specific enough. It has the wrong connotations. This is about saving money and becoming efficient.” That is the view of Karl Feilder, chief executive of DHL Neutral Services, a subsidiary of the delivery giant set up to improve the efficiency of both DHL’s and its customers’ supply chains.

It is a daunting task considering that DHL has set itself the ambitious target of cutting emissions by 30 percent by 2020 — a task made more challenging by that fact that the company’s global operations span 220 countries and boast 400 aircraft, 170,000 staff, 4,500 warehouses and other properties, and thousands of trucks.” DHL Says Small Efficiencies Can Deliver Big Carbon Savings
