Hillebrand Gori, a DHL Group company specializing in beverage logistics, has launched two new GoGreen Plus solutions designed to help shippers address greenhouse gas emissions associated with ocean and air freight transportation.
The new services, GoGreen Plus Base and GoGreen Plus Premium, offer different levels of allocated emissions reductions, allowing beverage companies to select options based on their transport requirements, sustainability targets and costs.
Both solutions are available for full-container load (FCL), less-than-container load (LCL) and air freight shipments.
Two options for reducing transport emissions
GoGreen Plus Base provides a 10% reduction in allocated main-haul well-to-wake greenhouse gas emissions, using a regional flat-fee pricing structure.
Meanwhile, GoGreen Plus Premium offers reductions of up to approximately 85%, with pricing determined by individual trade lanes. For eligible ocean freight routes, the Premium service may also include a waiver of EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) maritime surcharges.
Customers can apply either solution to individual shipments, selected trade lanes or larger transport volumes.
“Beverage companies are looking for practical ways to make progress on transport decarbonization while maintaining efficient and resilient supply chains,” said Dominique von Orelli, Chief Executive Officer, Hillebrand Gori.
Sustainable fuels and book-and-claim
The two services use a verified book-and-claim methodology to allocate emissions reductions generated through alternative fuels within Hillebrand Gori’s logistics network.
For ocean freight, the approach involves sustainable marine fuels, while air freight uses sustainable aviation fuel.
Under this system, the alternative fuel does not necessarily power the vessel or aircraft carrying a customer’s specific shipment. Instead, verified emissions reductions are allocated to eligible transport activity within the same transport mode.
The launch expands Hillebrand Gori’s decarbonization offerings as beverage shippers seek greater flexibility in managing transport emissions and associated costs.
