StanChart Bank picks DHL to pioneer carbon neutral courier service

Standard Chartered Bank is the first bank to adopt DHL’s GOGREEN Carbon Neutral service globally, signing a worldwide contract to make 95 % of the bank’s international courier services carbon neutral.
DHL GOGREEN Carbon Neutral service will be implemented in stages by Standard Chartered, with services up and running in Australia, Bangladesh, China, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, the United States of America and Vietnam, according to a DHL statement.

Approximately 2,000 tonnes of carbon emissions are expected to be offset each year, when DHL GOGREEN Carbon Neutral service is implemented in the majority of the bank’s global network.

“This partnership assumes unique significance as Standard Chartered Bank is the first customer for DHL Express Sri Lanka that has adopted its GOGREEN Carbon Neutral service and leads the way for corporate organizations towards engaging sustainable solutions encouraging others to be more responsible towards the environment,” the statement added.
