DPD assumes responsibility – towards its shippers and consignees as well as its employees and the society within which we operate. Our groupwide DrivingChangeTM sustainability strategy is focused on those areas which are closely linked to our core operations.

Our DrivingChange programme

drivingchange drivingchange

Our DrivingChange programme

DrivingChangeTM focuses on four priorities where we feel we can make the most meaningful difference within parcel delivery and beyond: by reducing and neutralising our carbon footprint; providing smarter and more efficient urban delivery solutions; driving innovation inside and out; and building meaningful connections in the communities we work with.

At the heart of these four priorities stand being an Employer of Choice. Providing a mindful, respectful and ethical workplace for all employees and partners is inherent to our business and an aim to which we all contribute in our day-to-day practices.

Carbon-neutral shipping

Essential to us: carbon-neutral parcel shipping without additional costs to shippers and consignees. We closely monitor the greenhouse gases we generate, and work continuously on reducing our carbon footprint. Any unavoidable transport emissions are offset by investment in projects for renewable energies and clean energy generation.

We have a wide range of topics and areas in which our employees are involved: solidarity transport, disadvantaged children and youth, the elderly, health, education, poverty, and environment. Each Business Unit has developed the most meaningful initiative, relevant to its own eco-system.

Intelligent city logistics

High levels of traffic density and pollution in inner cities require new solutions to parcel delivery operations. We are developing sustainable city logistics concepts in order to ensure deliveries to inner-city areas in future, too.
