Envision & DHL: Green logistics partnership

Envision Group, a leading global green technology company, and DHL Group have signed a strategic partnership agreement to foster comprehensive cooperation in logistics solutions and accelerate sustainability targets

The partnership covers four main areas: Logistics solutions, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), green energy, and the joint development of a "Net Zero Industrial & Logistic Park." This collaboration combines DHL Group's extensive logistics expertise with Envision's knowledge of renewable energy solutions, aiming to advance environmental energy initiatives. Both companies are committed to achieving net-zero emissions, with SAF being a key focus. Recognizing SAF's critical role in reducing carbon emissions in air transportation, DHL aims to increase the SAF mix to 30% by 2030. Envision will provide SAF for DHL, supporting the logistics company's carbon reduction goals while securing the global supply. Additionally, Envision will explore renewable feedstock sources and technology routes to advance decarbonisation in the aviation sector.

Lei Zhang, Chairman of Envision Group, stated, "The aviation sector is currently trailing targets largely due to high costs associated with green hydrocarbons and their derivatives. Envision, through systematic innovation, can reduce cost and revolutionise the production of SAF at scale. The development of this 'new oil' will support global efforts towards carbon neutrality."

Furthermore, Envision will provide comprehensive green energy transition solutions, including electricity, to support DHL's renewable energy goals through focused green power procurements.

The agreement positions DHL as a key strategic partner for Envision's development plans, leveraging DHL's extensive network across over 220 countries and territories to support Envision's renewable energy market expansion. As Envision's preferred logistics partner, DHL will deploy fully integrated logistics solutions to enhance efficiency and quality, ensuring seamless global supply chain management and support in navigating regulatory and operational challenges.

Tobias Meyer, CEO at DHL Group, remarked, "The partnership framework with Envision represents a further step towards global sustainability leadership for DHL Group. By leveraging our unparalleled logistics expertise and unique global network, we are committed to supporting Envision in their international expansion and logistical challenges. Together, we will lead the change in integrating green technologies and optimising supply chains, setting new benchmarks for sustainable innovation and global environmental impact through the energy transition."

Envision and DHL will also explore opportunities for the joint development and construction of a "Net Zero Industrial & Logistic Park" across various industry sectors. This new class of industrial parks, fully powered by a comprehensive clean energy solution, integrates the supply chains of several industries, such as electric vehicle and battery manufacturing. The Park aims to advance new electric power systems models and foster green industrial ecosystems, expediting the global green transition for customers. Having launched in Asia and parts of Europe and the Middle East, Envision, with DHL's support, will expand the Park's global footprint, providing innovative solutions for zero-carbon transformation.
