DHL UK opens first carbon neutral warehouse

Some weeks ago I have reported about DPWNs GoGreen Program (http://www.dpwn-gogreen.com/go/and how it would potentially effect its own operations and the operations of its suppliers. Now I tumbled across an interesting project that proves how serious DPWN is taking their previous announcement.
 
DHL announced end of November the completion of its first carbon neutral warehouse globally, and the first of its kind in the UK. The 6,500 square foot site near Wakefield West Yorkshire is the location for the main distribution centre of U.K. communication company O2. The project was implemented by DHL through its in-house carbon consultancy, DHL Neutral Services, as part of the company’s industry leading GoGreen Program, which includes a commitment to reduce its carbon by 30 percent by 2020.
 
It seems to me that DPWN actually walks the talk here.  Not that I did have a doubt about that – having worked closely together with this company for nearly half a decade – but I am impressed about this speed and determination. Looking on this I would recommend to all DPWN Suppliers to already think about their contribution to these ambituous goals.
 
As said previously: As a supplier of DPWN sooner or later you will have to decide if you want to jump on this train or not…!
