Wellous,
DHL Establish Sustainability Partnership To Combat Climate Change
February
17, 2023
Wellous
announced that the Company has entered into an agreement to become DHL Express’s first customer in Asia Pacific to use GoGreen
Plus service. This partnership supports Wellous’ sustainability goal to reduce the carbon emissions of its international shipments
by 10 percent year-on-year.
“Investing
in sustainable solutions is a priority for us as we constantly seek greener alternatives. Through this strategic partnership, we are
addressing our carbon footprint at source and making a positive impact on our value chain. We ensure that all our operating businesses
continue to strengthen their sustainable practices while integrating ESG principles into their operating procedures,” said Wee
Kuan (Andy) Tan, Co-Founder and CEO of Wellous.
“In
recognising the increasing importance that air freight plays in modern logistics, we must also be cognisant of its adverse effects on
climate change,” said Julian Neo, Managing Director of DHL Express Malaysia and Brunei.
Wellous’
use of GoGreen Plus applies across its overseas trade lanes, encompassing markets in Asia, North America, Middle East and Oceania. The
partnership between Wellous and DHL includes a framework to explore cooperation in other climate neutral initiatives, communications,
knowledge-sharing, and community engagement. It comes as part of Wellous’ measures to meet their eco-conscious ambitions.

Newly
introduced in 2023 by DHL Express, GoGreen Plus enables businesses to efficiently mitigate the environmental impact of their air freight
supply chains. This is achieved through carbon insetting, where the release of CO2 and other greenhouse gases is decreased by blending
the amount of conventional jet fuel needed with sustainable aviation fuel. In contrast to offsetting, which helps to balance carbon emissions
through climate protection projects worldwide, GoGreen Plus provides the option to actively prevent emissions from being generated in
the first place during parcel transport.
