How DHL and Schneider Electric are Decarbonizing the Supply Chain
DHL Global Forwarding and Schneider Electric have partnered to test innovative dual shipping models that reduce emissions by up to 40% on high-carbon air freight.
A new study shows that businesses increasingly use multi-modal supply chain solutions to lower Scope 3 carbon emissions. DHL Global Forwarding and Schneider Electric have partnered to test innovative dual shipping models that reduce emissions by up to 40% on high-carbon air freight.
Businesses rely on agile global supply chains, but air freight significantly increases carbon footprints. By combining air and lower carbon sea transport, DHL and Schneider Electric demonstrate how companies can decrease environmental impact while still meeting business commitments.
This pioneering initiative positions supply chain sustainability as a core strategic priority rather than a side issue. Schneider Electric projects that multi-modal transport bridges across eight global trade lanes will substantially cut emissions. Savings can then be reinvested in eco-friendly SAF fuels to make solutions self-funding over the long term.
The results clearly show that green supply chains make strong business sense, providing a model for other companies. DHL's commitment of €7 billion to clean operations highlights how top logistics providers embrace the opportunity. And Schneider Electric's innovative partnerships are accelerating progress toward approved net-zero targets.
The message is clear - sustainable supply chain innovation offers a major revenue opportunity alongside planet and profit benefits. Now is the time for forward-looking companies to explore similar operational upgrades. The technology and partners are ready to scale decarbonization.
