Dublin, 10 December, 2025 – GLS and DPD announce the expansion of their Out-of-Home (OOH) partnership to Hungary. GLS Hungary has opened its parcel locker network to DPD Hungary, with DPD parcels soon available for pickup from the majority of GLS lockers. This extends the cooperation already successfully implemented by the two companies in Germany and the Czech Republic to the Hungarian market.
In June 2025, GLS Hungary opened its parcel locker network, and DPD is the first partner to join. At the start of the cooperation, DPD customers will be able to collect parcels from 1,400 of GLS' 2,600 parcel lockers nationwide.
The popularity of parcel lockers in Hungary is clear: since September 2023, the number of available lockers has doubled, now exceeding 9,400 nationwide. This partnership enhances customer convenience and improves the efficiency of parcel collection, supporting the sustainable fulfillment of the growing demands of e-commerce.
"Just a few weeks ago, we celebrated the installation of our 2,500th locker. Thanks to this, we now provide the most flexible parcel management solutions through nearly 3,500 pickup points including Parcel Shops across more than 740 cities. With this new cooperation, our network becomes even more sustainable and accessible to an even broader base of customers," said Attila Balázs, Managing Director of GLS Hungary.
"At DPD, innovation and sustainable operations go hand in hand. Our collaboration with GLS is not just about expanding our network—it's a step toward building a more efficient logistics system. Our goal is to create value for both our customers and the market through our developments," said Szabolcs Czifrik, Managing Director of DPD Hungary.
This partnership reinforces both companies' commitment to the development of the Hungarian e-commerce market, offering maximum flexibility and sustainable solutions to customers.

Dublin, 21 October 2025 – GLS and DPD have launched a new partnership in the Czech Republic, becoming the first delivery companies in the country to mutually open their parcel locker networks to each other.
GLS has partnered with DPD to enable cross-access to their parcel locker networks in the Czech Republic, offering customers of both companies greater flexibility in sending and receiving parcels. GLS customers can now use DPD’s 800 lockers, while DPD customers gain access to GLS’ 1,300 lockers across the country.
The initiative marks a significant step toward industry-wide cooperation, aiming to improve convenience and reduce locker congestion in high-traffic areas. “This is the first time in the Czech market that delivery companies have mutually opened their locker networks,” said Petr Pěcha, Managing Director of GLS Czech Republic. ”We’re open and ready to establish similar cooperation with additional carriers.”
GLS Czech Republic has significantly expanded its parcel locker network over the past two years, growing by more than 400% to reach 1,300 lockers—making it the third-largest carrier-operated network in the country. With its own and partner lockers as well as its pick-up points, GLS Czeckia offers around 5,000 Out-of-Home points in total. The new partnership with DPD not only expands delivery options for customers but also reflects a broader trend toward shared infrastructure in response to growing demand for flexible, locker-based delivery solutions.
“With over 13,000 parcel lockers across the Czech Republic, demand is still outpacing supply,” said Petr Pěcha, Managing Director of GLS Czech Republic. “Opening our network to other carriers is a logical step toward more efficient infrastructure and better customer service.”
The collaboration reflects a broader shift in the Czech parcel market toward smarter use of infrastructure and sets an example for how carriers can work together.

• The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has officially confirmed that GLS' science-based targets (SBTs) meet its requirements.
• GLS Group has adopted both near-term and long-term targets to significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, aiming to reach net-zero1 by 2045.
• This approval marks a significant milestone in GLS’ dedication to environmental sustainability

Dublin, June 30, 2025 – GLS Group2, a leading parcel service provider in Europe and North America, is proud to announce that its CO₂ reduction targets have been approved by the independent Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi Services Limited, London) after a thorough review.

As part of this commitment, GLS Group has set both near-term and long-term targets to significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, aligned with the latest scientific standards. The SBTi has officially confirmed that these science-based targets meet its requirements and are consistent with the goals of the Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. This validation confirms GLS’ plan to achieve net-zero1 by 2045, reinforcing the company's role in addressing climate change and contributing to global decarbonisation efforts.

Dr. Karl Pfaff, Chief Executive of GLS Group, commented: “Receiving the SBTi's approval for our emission reduction targets is a significant achievement for GLS. It highlights our proactive approach to environmental responsibility and our dedication to implementing decarbonised practices across our operations.”

Robert Groh, Corporate Environment & Climate Strategy Director, added: "The validation of our targets by the SBTi marks a great milestone. It sets a clear direction for our decarbonisation efforts and provides a robust framework to guide us forward. Reducing our total GHG emissions by 90% by 2045, compared to 2021 levels, will require consistent commitment to innovation, tackling technological challenges and building strong, reliable partnerships. Our environmental strategy brings together our efforts to global climate protection activities.”

GLS’ group-wide environmental strategy guides the company's efforts to meet its SBTs. As road transportation accounts for the majority of GLS' carbon emissions (90% in calendar year 2024), the strategy focuses on transforming the predominantly subcontracted transportation fleet to zero- and low-emission vehicles3. The company aims to have 50% of the transport fleet to be zero- and low-emission3 by 2030, and by 2035 100% of new transport vehicles will be zero- and low-emission vehicles3. By end of December 2024, 6,600 of such vehicles are already in the GLS network.

To support this transformation, GLS entities are investing in infrastructure upgrades, including electric vehicle charging stations and renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic systems at its depots and hubs. At the end of December 2024, GLS Group locations featured 4,000 charging points, and 80% of GLS-operated sites in Europe are already powered by renewable electricity. GLS Group’s ambition is to increase the share of consumed renewable electricity to 100% by 2030.

1 GLS B.V. is committed to reduce its absolute Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2045, using 2021 as the base year. The residual emissions will be neutralized. This means the business counterbalances up to 10% of its CO2e emissions with investments in carbon removal projects outside its value chain, in line with the SBTi Net-Zero Standard . The Science Based Targets initiative commitment of GLS B.V. encompasses all affiliated companies of GLS B.V. operating under the GLS trademark.

2 The Science Based Targets initiative commitment of GLS B.V. encompasses all affiliated companies of GLS B.V. operating under the GLS trademark.

3 This means vehicles that during operation create either no emissions (e.g. electric or hydrogen vehicles) or fuels that create lower emissions than diesel- or gasoline fuel (e.g. Natural Gas, HVO, Biogas). Further, this also includes parcel deliveries on foot (as of today, only applicable for GLS Spain).

GLS’ science-based targets as officially approved by the SBTi:

Overall Net-Zero Target: General Logistics Systems B.V. commits to reach net-zero1 greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2045.

Near-Term Targets: General Logistics Systems B.V. commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 42.0% by 2030 from a 2021 base year.* General Logistics Systems B.V. also commits to reduce well-to-wheel scope 3 GHG emissions from light commercial vehicles covering upstream transportation and distribution 36.9% per ton-kilometer within the same timeframe.* General Logistics Systems B.V. further commits to reduce well-to-wheel scope 3 GHG emissions from heavy freight trucks covering upstream transportation and distribution 31.7% per ton-kilometer within the same timeframe.*

Long-Term Targets: General Logistics Systems B.V. commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 90% by 2045 from a 2021 base year.3 General Logistics Systems B.V. also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions 90% within the same timeframe.*

*The target boundary includes land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks.

GLS’s science-based targets are published on the SBTi target dashboard under “General Logistics Systems B.V.”.

About SBTi

SBTi is a partnership between CDP, the UN Global Compact, the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). It defines and promotes best practices in setting science-based emission reduction targets and brings together a team of experts to provide independent assessment and validation of targets.

• GLS launches Bring your business everywhere. We’ve got it. campaign to promote Out-of-Home (OOH) delivery solutions for e-tailers, enhancing convenience and customer satisfaction.
• The campaign features two videos highlighting the flexibility of GLS Parcel Lockers and Parcel Shops for pick-up and returns.
• This is the second part of a two-part campaign series, with the first focused on showcasing the benefits of GLS delivery solutions for consumers.

Dublin, May 27, 2025 – GLS, a leading parcel service provider in Europe and North America, has launched its latest campaign aimed at small and medium-sized e-tailers. Titled Bring your business everywhere. We’ve got it., the campaign shows how GLS helps e-tailers improve delivery success, reduce customer service issues and offer a more convenient experience through Out-of-Home (OOH) options.

The campaign is aimed at e-commerce businesses that ship directly to consumers and want to offer more flexibility at checkout. By showcasing real-life e-tailer challenges, from missed deliveries to rising customer service demands, the campaign demonstrates how GLS’ OOH solutions are an extension of their business. Every GLS Point serves as a front store for their business, reducing stress for sellers and increasing satisfaction for shoppers.

The campaign features two videos that highlight the advantages of GLS OOH solutions for e-tailers:

• Parcel Lockers: The first video follows a growing online retailer offering locker delivery as a smart, self-service option that reduces missed deliveries and customer complaints. A young woman, Annie, picks up her parcel from a well-lit GLS Parcel Locker in the evening, while a humorous scene unfolds inside the locker, bringing to life a miniature store with a friendly seller. This surreal, yet light-hearted moment emphasises the ease and convenience of GLS' delivery solutions.
• Parcel Shops: The second video centres on a family-run webshop that benefits from sending parcels to local GLS Parcel Shops, letting customers pick up their deliveries when it suits them. The video features Tom, who receives a notification on his phone to pick up a parcel, leading him to a GLS Parcel Shop that magically transforms into different types of stores as he approaches. He leaves on a hoverboard, adding a light-hearted touch that reflects the smooth, flexible experience GLS brings to both e-tailers and their customers.

Dr. Karl Pfaff Chief Executive of GLS Group, said: “At GLS, we're committed to delivering smart solutions that make life easier for e-tailers and their customers. Our Out-of-Home delivery options, like Parcel Lockers and Parcel Shops, offer the flexibility and convenience that today’s consumers demand, while helping businesses simplify their operations and improve customer satisfaction.”

The campaign highlights how GLS’ OOH delivery options make life easier for e-tailers and their customers, by offering:

• Flexible pick-up: Deliver to your customers at any hour through parcel lockers and parcel shops.
• Delivery on first attempt: Never miss a delivery with convenient OOH options.
• Customer satisfaction: Happy customers thanks to greater flexibility and convenience.
• Flexible redirection: Let your customers decide when, where and how they receive their parcels.

• Footprint: Bring your business to over 100,000 locations across Europe.

It is part of GLS’ ongoing effort to provide e-tailers with flexible and reliable delivery solutions that help improve customer experience and support business growth.

This campaign is part of a two-part initiative, with the first focusing on the convenience and flexibility of GLS delivery solutions for consumers.

• GLS launches the That parcel on your mind? We’ve got it. campaign, emphasising its expertise in B2C logistics and the benefits of Out-of-Home (OOH) delivery solutions for consumers.
• The campaign focuses on showcasing GLS’ OOH solutions as the hassle-free, reliable choice for parcel deliveries, highlighting the convenience and flexibility for consumers.
• This is the first part of a two-part campaign series, with the second focused on showcasing the benefits of GLS delivery solutions for e-tailers.
  

The campaign video opens on Eleanor, seated at a romantic dinner, struggling to connect with her date because of a large cardboard box planted squarely between them. From there, we meet Erik, cheering on his young daughter’s first solo bike ride, only to be distracted by a giant parcel trundling down the road, missing the moment entirely. In the final scene, Sarah delivers a big presentation to a room full of colleagues who are inexplicably wearing cardboard boxes on their heads. As reality sets in, she’s shown later using GLS’ app to select a nearby pick-up point and collect her parcel with ease. The message is clear: GLS ensures parcel delivery is seamless and doesn’t disrupt your life.

Dr. Karl Pfaff, Chief Executive of GLS Group, said: “With the growing demand for flexible delivery options, we are proud to offer solutions that seamlessly fit into the modern lifestyle. Our Out-of-Home network ensures customers have the freedom to pick up their parcels at a time and place that works best for them, providing a hassle-free, convenient experience from start to finish.”

The campaign highlights how GLS’ OOH delivery options make life easier for consumers, by offering:

• Flexible pick-up: Collect your parcel from a nearby GLS Point at your convenience.
• Strong footprint: There’s always a GLS Point close by to receive your parcel for you.
• Flexible redirection: Change your delivery to a GLS Point up to 20 minutes before it arrives.
• Live tracking: Track your parcel in real time—even when it’s headed to a GLS Point.
• Easy returns: Return your parcel quickly and conveniently at a GLS Point.

This campaign is part of a two-part initiative, with the second part focusing on GLS’ commitment to supporting e-tailers with seamless delivery solutions tailored to their business needs.
