DHL Express has announced the launch of a new service that will allow customers in Hong Kong to reduce associated with shipments through the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).

GoGreen Plus service is available through the MyDHL+ online portal and is made possible through the express firm's SAF partnership with bp and Neste.

The service was launched elsewhere earlier this year and is already available to customers in the UK, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and the UAE and will be rolled out globally over the coming months.

Ng Chee Choong, senior vice president and managing director of DHL Express Hong Kong and Macau, said: “In line with our global mission of ‘Connecting People, Improving Lives’, we continue demonstrating our commitment to Hong Kong by helping the city reduce its carbon emissions through investments in green fleet and facilities.

"We look forward to further redefining logistics while setting our sights on our net-zero-emissions target via the industry's most comprehensive portfolio of green logistics solutions.”

The new service is part of the company’s ambition to use 30% percent SAF for all air transport by 2030.
