We all share the #SameAddress
In 2020, we delivered 1.9bn parcels worldwide. But when it comes to protecting future generations and our cherished planet, we all share the same address.That’s why we’ve reduced our CO2 emissions per parcel by18.8% since 2013and we’llreach 30% by 2025, when our delivery vehicles in Europe’s 225 largest cities will be100% low- emission.
Inspired and guided by the three pillars of our Sustainability approach –‘People, Planet and Communities’ – DPDgroup is working harder than ever to create a social and environmental legacy that our children can be proud of.
