Sustainability without compromise

Sustainability without compromise

Sustainability is not just a word for us, but a commitment: we are very aware of our responsibility towards our earth and our fellow human beings and actively take this responsibility seriously.

For more than a decade, we have always attached great importance to sustainability and environmental protection. Our objective is clearly defined: by 2040 at the latest, we are going to reduce at least 90 % of greenhouse gas emissions compared to 2020. We are achieving this by consistently switching to alternative energies and by electrifying our fleet. Our entire delivery fleet is going to be electrified by 2030 and our line haul fleet by 2035. All our depots already obtain electricity from 100 % renewable energies today. Likewise, we are able to cut CO2 emissions every night by switching from road to rail transport. This is a decisive step towards our ambitious net-zero target.

For us, taking responsibility also means actively supporting society. Thanks to our partnership with Venturelab and our sponsorship of the Swiss Startup Champions, we can actively support Swiss startups. Since 2012 we have been the exclusive partner of the leading Swiss children's charity Terre des hommes, providing all logistical services and supplying Swiss companies at the annual orange campaign. In addition, DPD volunteers support the street sales.

We are committed to our environment and our society.

We make the difference

Borders are just lines drawn on a map. We share the same earth, breathe the same air and live together on this earth. That is why we will continue to support charities and projects in local communities across Europe. Most of all, we will continue to be there for you. We are people delivering for people.

Environmental responsibility

We have always attached great importance to sustainability and environmental protection. In order to offset the unavoidable emissions from transporting parcels, we finance renewable energy projects and clean energy generation. DPD Switzerland has set itself the goal of reducing at least 90 % of greenhouse gas emissions (compared to 2020) by 2040 at the latest.

Ethical Responsibility

DPD Switzerland is committed to fostering a collaborative partnership and a positive working environment. We strive for transparent and fair business relationships with our customers, partners, and suppliers. Ethics and compliance are key elements at DPD Switzerland. We provide our stakeholders with a reporting system – all confidential and anonymous.



Independently tested - and passed

DPD delivers quality and acts responsibly towards the environment and society. We act with a central guiding principle:  parcels belong to a consignor or to a consignee. They are guests in our system. In order to ensure that we also act accordingly, our organisation adheres to standard operational procedures.  Their implementation is regularly audited by authorised certification bodies.

ISO 9001:2015

As the most important global quality standard, ISO 9001 provides a comprehensive management standard from a quality perspective. It forms the framework for the strategic and operational management of our business. The standard helps DPD Switzerland in systematically assessing customer enquiries, in providing services accordingly and in setting the direction of its organisation. The high requirements that we place upon ourselves are documented in the Quality Policy.

 

ISO 14001:2015

DPD Switzerland continuously and systematically identifies, assesses and reduces existing and emerging environmental impacts and actively seeks to widen and continuously improve its positive environmental activities. As visible evidence of these wide-ranging efforts, DPD has introduced an environmental management system based on the standard ISO 14001. Our Environmental Handbook provides an insight into our environmental policy and strategic environmental goals.

 

AEO

Authorised Economic Operator status, or AEO for short, is a quality mark which is conferred upon businesses which meet reliability criteria in the security of their international supply chain. More straightforward security checks are facilitated for authorised economic operators; in the case of DPD, this particularly means simplified customs clearance procedures for imports and exports. AEO status is recognised by states with which Switzerland has concluded a corresponding treaty.

Generally speaking, AEO certification confirms an internationally recognised, high standard of security which benefits all our customers, consignees, employees and residents.
