  • Use of solar films to improve thermal insulation of facade glazing.
  • Switch off the lightings at warehouse before operations and office during lunch break.

At DHL, our commitment to decarbonization is a core aspect of our strategy. We are investing significantly to achieve our goal of Net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. For example, our Central Asia Hub (CAH) at Hong Kong International Airport has installed 3,450 solar panels, reducing 850 tons of carbon emissions annually. Additionally, CAH is the first DHL facility in Asia Pacific and the first business partner at Hong Kong International Airport to implement on-site battery storage system for storing excess solar power. We also aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by increasing the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel in air transport to more than 30% by 2030. Together, we can deliver a more sustainable world for future generations.
