DHL Express, NCC Bank team up to cut greenhouse gas emissions

DHL Express will help NCC Bank PLC reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its international air shipments by 30 percent through the GoGreen Plus service.

The initiative will support the bank in lowering its Scope 3 emissions -- the indirect emissions generated across its value chain, particularly from transportation and distribution -- by using an “insetting” approach, according to a DHL press release.

Through a book-and-claim system, DHL replaces fossil fuels with sustainable alternatives across its network and allocates the environmental benefits to participating customers.

DHL Express’s GoGreen Plus is the only service in the global express logistics sector that enables customers to use Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to reduce shipment-related emissions.

Md Miarul Haque, managing director of DHL Express Bangladesh, said the company was pleased to welcome NCC Bank to the GoGreen Plus initiative.

“By adopting sustainable aviation fuel, NCC Bank is taking a meaningful step towards reducing the environmental footprint of its shipments,” he said, adding that the partnership would help accelerate the adoption of SAF across the air transport industry.

Launched in 2023, GoGreen Plus supports DHL Group’s goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
