DHL and Google have announced a partnership to utilize the DHL Express GoGreen Plus service with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
The initiative includes express shipping of Google devices in the Devices & Services business unit across the Americas, Asia, and Europe, and is part of Google’s push towards encouraging existing decarbonization technologies in air cargo transportation.
“Google has a goal to achieve net-zero emissions across our operations and value chain by 2030. Optimizing how we transport Google devices around the world is a key part of this journey,” stated Omar Molina, Director, Global Transportation, Google.

“By deploying SAF across our international network, we are pleased to offer the GoGreen Plus service to our long-standing partner Google. We are confident that this agreement and Google’s meaningful investment will encourage others to take the same initiative and drive the transition to low-emission transportation services using sustainable aviation fuel,” affirmed John Pearson, CEO, DHL Express.
Launched by DHL Express in 2023, GoGreen Plus uses SAF to enable customers to reduce the CO2 emissions associated with their shipments. GoGreen Plus is currently supported by three of the industries’ largest contracts with BP, Neste, and World Energy.
GoGreen Plus is part of the DHL Group’s goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. With around 70 percent of the company’s carbon footprint coming from its air network, sustainable air transport solutions are important for creating sustainable logistics operations.
