The difference between a DHL Express Service Centre and a DHL Express Service Point location is that DHL Express Service Centres are owned by DHL. The rest are partner stores like WHSmith, Ryman, Safestore, Robert Dyas and 100s of independent stores nationwide. This means that we have weighing and measuring capabilities for parcels when using your own packaging and insurance cover at all DHL Express Service Centres. 

Insurance options are also available at selected Ryman and Robert Dyas partner locations.

DHL has a target to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and has set out milestones along the way, such as reducing our greenhouse gas emissions from 39 million tonnes CO2e to under 29 million by 2030.

To do this, we have introduced new shipping solutions such as delivering parcels on foot, by e-bikes, electric vehicles and by boat on the River Thames. We are also encouraging our employees to become GoGreen specialists and undertake climate protection activities such as planting trees and becoming greener in their everyday lives.

DHL’s GoGreen Plus is a dedicated solution to help individuals and businesses reduce the carbon emissions within the network their international shipment travels through by the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). SAF is a biofuel that is produced from renewable sources such as vegetable oils, animal fats, waste products, and agricultural crops. SAF is specifically designed to be used as a substitute for traditional jet fuel and can reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared to fossil fuels.

Our climate protection projects do not only offset emissions but also contribute to promoting the economy in less developed countries and improving the lives of local people.
