Sustainability without compromise

Sustainability is not just a word for us, but a commitment: we are very aware of our responsibility towards our earth and our fellow human beings and actively take this responsibility seriously.

For more than a decade, we have always attached great importance to sustainability and environmental protection. Our objective is clearly defined: by 2040 at the latest, we are going to reduce at least 90 % of greenhouse gas emissions compared to 2020. We are achieving this by consistently switching to alternative energies and by electrifying our fleet. Our entire delivery fleet is going to be electrified by 2030 and our line haul fleet by 2035. All our depots already obtain electricity from 100 % renewable energies today. Likewise, we are able to cut CO2 emissions every night by switching from road to rail transport. This is a decisive step towards our ambitious net-zero target.

For us, taking responsibility also means actively supporting society. Thanks to our partnership with Venturelab and our sponsorship of the Swiss Startup Champions, we can actively support Swiss startups. Since 2012 we have been the exclusive partner of the leading Swiss children's charity Terre des hommes, providing all logistical services and supplying Swiss companies at the annual orange campaign. In addition, DPD volunteers support the street sales.

We are committed to our environment and our society.
