DHL Parcel Germany has launched CO2-neutral GoGreen delivery for all shipments dispatched viaits online shopping portal ‘MyParcel’ (MeinPaket.de in German) at its own cost.
The company highlighted the added value for eco-friendly shoppers profiting from free ‘green’shipping with effect from September as the online portal bears the costs for GoGreen delivery ofall shipments. Shoppers will not experience any changes to their online order.
