Six years ago, DHL Supply Chain and the Japanese technology group launched a partnership to support Fujitsu in reducing its environmental impacts and improve the carbon efficiency of its logistics operations. The aim is far-reaching: optimized transport routes and the improved use of loading capacities are two focal points; the recycling of packaging and the introduction of more efficient tires by transport partners are another.
All together, Fujitsu’s CO2 emissions have been cut by nearly 50 percent. The concept has been honored with the Green Logistics Award presented by the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
Customer Comment:
"As an IT corporation aiming to offer people worldwide a prosperous future with innovative technologies and services, Fujitsu recognizes that environmental protection is an important management issue.

In 2009, DHL devised an environmentally friendly concept for a producer of household appliances.
Thanks to this concept, more than 13,000 containers arriving annually at the sea ports in Germany can be carried by train instead of road vehicles to their final destination. This eliminates nearly 120 road transports each week. CO2 emissions have been reduced by 60 percent, but transit times remain unchanged.

In Australia, a big technology company joined forces with DHL to cut its CO2 emissions by more than 40 percent. As part of this effort, the container transshipping center was relocated from western Australia to the eastern part of the country in 2008.
The change eliminated the need for many ground transports. In addition, the utilization rate of commercial vehicles was significantly increased. These improvements not only help the environment, but also save money.

In 2009, a pharmaceutical group cut the CO2 emissions associated with the pre-carriage of ocean freight by 30 percent in Germany.
To achieve the reduction, DHL Global Forwarding shifted the transport of temperature-sensitive products bound for ocean freight export from road vehicles to inland-waterway vessels: the containers are now loaded onto a ship to transport them to ocean ports located in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. As a result, 11 fewer kilograms of CO2 are generated per ton of transported freight.
