Sector Benchmark

Note: Latest GHG and revenue data (based on tradingview.com) are used to calculate GHG emissions intensity by sector. The color scale of each bubble depends on the GHG intensity (GHG emissions per 1 million USD revenue). Sectors follow the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) that organize companies based on their primary business activities. The 11 sectors are : Information Technology, Health Care, Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services, Industrials, Consumer Staples, Energy, Utilities, Real Estate, and Materials.

Deutsche Post belongs to the sector Industrials.

Offsets

Last update for Deutsche Post DHL by zerotracker.net: Feb. 15, 2023
Planning to use external offset credits Yes
Separate targets for emission reductions and removals No
Conditions on use of offset credits
  • Avoid social harm
  • Must be high environmental integrity
Plans for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) Not Specified

Additional notes: Support for planting over a million trees annually Provides climate neutral letter delivery service, however this only accounted for 0.9% (356 ktCO2) of total emissions in 2020. Information on contentious nature of offsetting projects involving Deutsche Post DHL: Deutsche Post has looked for some of the higher quality credits available on the voluntary carbon markets. The company has five minimum criteria for credits, related to third-party monitoring and verification; transparency and the avoidance of double counting; permanence; sustainable development; and leakage. In addition, the company aims to prioritise projects that centre around renewable energy, waste disposal and household appliances; are small and with co-benefits for local communities; and located in developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Finally, Deutsche Post states that it prioritises credits with more recent vintage dates over older ones and avoids credits older than five years.150Based on these criteria, Deutsche Post sourced offset credits from seven projects in 2020. Those include wind power projects in Aruba and in India, cookstove projects in Guatemala and Lesotho, a landfill gas project in Chile, and a biogas programme in Vietnam.151 The cookstove project in Lesotho was solely funded by Deutsche Post DHL and all projects are Gold Standard verified.152 All of these project types represent some of the higher quality ones available in recent years. Unlike the majority of projects that supply current voluntary carbon markets, there is a fair chance that these seven projects depend on revenue for continuation and that the support provided by Deutsche Post leads to some additional climate impact. However, in the context global governance framework of the Paris Agreement, which requires all countries to set ambitious emission reduction targets, the additionality of these types of projects is contentious, as they may be accessible to host countries and could be part of host countries’ own GHG emission abatement efforts. As such, the projects are not a credible equivalent to the reduction of Deutsche Post DHL’s own emissions. The same is true for the eight projects that Deutsche Post DHL selected in early 2022. https://newclimate.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/CorporateClimateResponsibilityMonitor2022.pdf
