DHL pushes Asia Pacific sustainability limits

DHL Group has announced significant strides in its sustainability efforts across the Asia Pacific, focusing on decarbonisation and meeting the rising demand for eco-friendly logistics solutions. In 2025, the company signed strategic sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) agreements with partners such as Cathay, Cosmo Energy, and Neste, aiming for 30% SAF usage by 2030. These agreements will supply nearly 20 million litres of SAF to flights from Narita, Incheon, and Singapore.

DHL’s commitment extends beyond aviation. The company has deployed over 1,800 electric vehicles across the region, with plans to operate two-thirds of its last-mile fleet with electric vehicles by 2030. This includes the introduction of hydrogen-powered lorries in Japan and a fully electric fleet in Thailand for Boots stores. In the Philippines, DHL Summit Solutions, Inc. launched 23 electric vehicles and 22 electric prime movers.

In Thailand, DHL Supply Chain unveiled its first fully renewable energy warehouse, powered by a 4.2 MWp solar array, marking a global milestone for the company. Javier Bilbao, CEO of Asia Pacific, DHL Supply Chain, stated, “Our carbon-neutral buildings and EV fleet developments reflect a long-term vision to reimagine logistics infrastructure for a low-carbon world.”

These initiatives underscore DHL’s ambition to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, setting a benchmark for the logistics industry and supporting customers’ decarbonisation goals.
