LINE DHL Express today announces the launch of GoGreen Plus, a new service that will allow customers to reduce (‘inset’) the carbon emissions associated with their shipments through the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
This is a first for global express carriers to give customers the opportunity to use SAF to reduce emissions. Starting this month, customers based in Thailand will have the option to select GoGreen Plus when choosing their shipping service through MyDHL+, the company’s online shipping and tracking platform.
The service is designed to be fully flexible as it can be selected for individual shipments.
GoGreen Plus is also available to all DHL Express customers, with customers being given the chance to tailor the CO2e reduction they want to achieve and the amount of SAF they use.

The new GoGreen Plus service is made possible following DHL’s recent collaborations with bp and Neste to supply SAF to DHL Express hubs around the world. The renewable part of the innovative fuel is produced from waste oils. Such SAF from wastes and residues can provide greenhouse gas emission reductions of up to 80 percent over its lifecycle compared with the conventional jet fuel it replaces.
Herbert Vongpusanachai, Managing Director of DHL Express Thailand and Head of Indochina says, “We’re on a mission to steer our industry towards a greener future so sustainability is at the forefront of everything we do. SAF is currently the primary route to reducing carbon emissions in aviation.
We’re proud that GoGreen Plus gives the option to choose SAF so that our customers can contribute to reducing emissions from air shipments sustainably.”
Insetting through GoGreen Plus allows customers to bring down their Scope 3 emissions, the indirect greenhouse gas emissions that occur in a company’s value chain, including downstream transportation and distribution. Unlike offsetting ini
tiatives, insetting is recognized as carbon reduction efforts under the Science Based Target initiative because initiatives are designed to reduce emissions directly associated with a business’ operations.
