I firmly believe that with the critical and constructive feedback from the council members on our sustainability-related commitments and activities, we will be able to further drive the transformation of the entire logistics industry towards a more sustainable future,” said Yin Zou, executive vice president corporate development at DPDHL Group.

The members of the DPDHL Group Sustainability Advisory Council are Suzanne Greene; Proffesor Dr. Axel Haller; Dr. Barbara Hendricks; Proffesor Dante Pesce; Sophie Punte; Prof. Jorg Rocholl, PhD; Daniel Schmid; and Michael Schmidt.

In March 2021, Deutsche Post DHL Group had announced that it would further increase the pace of the company’s planned de-carbonisation and invest a total of €7 billion in measures to reduce its greenhouse gas (CO2e) emissions by 2030 alone, added the release.

As part of the renowned Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the group has adopted specific targets to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions in line with the Paris Climate Agreement. Beyond the commitment to the environment, clear targets and measures have also been defined for the areas of social responsibility and governance.
