Lindt & Sprüngli cuts 514.86 metric tons of CO2 emissions in 3 months under partnership with DHL
Lindt & Sprüngli has already achieved a reduction in its carbon footprint in transportation, with approximately 514.86 metric tons of CO2e emissions reduced within 3 months under partnership with DHL.
DHL Global Forwarding is supporting Lindt & Sprüngli, the renowned Swiss chocolate manufacturer, in reducing their Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in ocean freight transport. Since 2008, Lindt & Sprüngli has been relying on DHL Global Forwarding to transport its chocolate products to various markets worldwide. As of 2024, the logistics are being conducted through DHL’s GoGreen Plus service.
This reflects the commitment of both companies to their science-based targets and their goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
This achievement paves the way for an expected total reduction of around 4,800 tons by the end of 2024. DHL Global Forwarding employs biofuels made from wastes and residues reducing the greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 80% at the source and adopts a “book and claim” approach. Ocean carriers utilize waste- and residues-based maritime fuels on behalf of DHL Global Forwarding, and the resulting emissions reductions are allocated to the shippers through certificates.
“Lindt & Sprüngli and DHL Global Forwarding share not only a longstanding partnership but also their commitment to science-based targets. Both companies have had their climate targets confirmed through the independent Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), and both are working towards the target of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. We are delighted that Lindt & Sprüngli relies on our transportation expertise to support them in achieving their emission reduction targets,” says Casper Ellerbaek, Global Head of Ocean Freight, DHL Global Forwarding.
Lindt & Sprüngli’s chocolate products are shipped from various countries in Europe such as Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy and Austria and are delivered to destinations all over the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, China, Japan, Brazil and South Africa. Lindt & Sprüngli is dedicated to producing high-quality chocolate and committed to achieving its science-based targets.
DHL Global Forwarding’s GoGreen Plus service offers Lindt & Sprüngli an end-to-end solution, ensuring a seamless and at the same time emission reduced supply chain. With a focus on Full Container Load (FCL) shipments, Lindt & Sprüngli’s products are transported in 40′ reefer containers, guaranteeing the preservation of their high-quality throughout the journey.
