DHL Express, a unit of DHL Group, and global online fashion and lifestyle retailer SHEIN have signed a "GoGreen Plus" agreement. Under this pact, SHEIN will utilize sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) provided by DHL Express for its international express airfreight, aiming to reduce carbon emissions from intercontinental air transport. This collaboration deepens the existing strategic partnership between DHL Express and SHEIN, which has seen their cooperation evolve from global capacity support to regional market synergy. The agreement focuses on advancing the use of SAF in cross-border e-commerce air logistics, with SHEIN integrating SAF into its air cargo operations. SAF, derived from renewable sources like used cooking oil, can reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 80% compared to conventional jet fuel. This initiative aligns with DHL Group's broader strategy to develop end-to-end logistics solutions for emerging energy sectors.
This agreement signifies a concrete step by major players in e-commerce logistics to adopt sustainable aviation fuel, directly addressing Scope 3 emissions in airfreight. It demonstrates a growing trend of large corporations integrating environmental solutions into their core operations, potentially influencing broader industry adoption and driving demand for SAF.
