The road to a sustainable GLS - from climate offsetting to zero emission

Every day, GLS transports millions of parcels - and we love it. Even though we have a huge passion for package distribution, our passion for protecting our environment is at least as great. We consider climate-friendly delivery to be an important part of the good parcel experience, which is why we work together with our transport partners constantly to minimize the impact our parcel distribution has on the world around us.

Electric cars

We are constantly working to electrify our last-mile distribution vehicles and increase the share of zero- and low-emission vehicles across our business.

In GLS Denmark, we have 56 electric vehicles delivering parcels across Denmark on a daily basis. To keep them running, we have 55 charging points at our depots, charging the electric cars.

By 2030, 50% of our distribution vehicles will be zero- or low-emission vehicles. By 2035, we aim for 100% of our newly purchased distribution vehicles to be zero- or low-emission vehicles, so that all our parcels are delivered exclusively on certified green electricity.

Electric bikes

In Aalborg and Copenhagen, you can most likely spot our 8 electric bikes on the bike paths as they make daily express deliveries to our business customers.

The electric bikes are just one of several initiatives where we are testing alternative delivery solutions that make the parcel experience more environmentally friendly.

Climate compensation

At GLS, we compensate for the emissions we cannot yet reduce. Read more about the projects we support on this page.

Further sustainability initiatives

We believe that all initiatives towards more climate-friendly parcel delivery count. That's why we have compiled a number of the measures we have introduced.
