DHL Thailand, part of Deutsche Post DHL Group, the world´s leading logistics provider, recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Thailand’s Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment to sustain a 19-rai (11,400 m2) reforestation project in Petchaburi province for three years, in support of DHL’s GoGreen initiative.
Under the terms of the MOU, the three DHL business units in Thailand – DHL Express, DHL Supply Chain and DHL Global Forwarding – will work in close collaboration with the National Environment Fund under the supervision of the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry on the reforestation project in Petchaburi province to conserve natural resources and the environment while promoting sustainable development. In the first year of the agreement, DHL will receive plant seeds from the ministry, which will be grown and nurtured by DHL employees and eventually planted in Petchaburi province during its annual Global Volunteer Day in September.
Yasmin Aladad Khan, Senior Vice President, DHL Express South East Asia and South Asia, said, “As a company present in over 220 countries and territories, DHL is committed to making a difference in the many communities where we operate. Through this partnership with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, we look forward to making a bigger impact in Thailand through community and sustainability engagements.”
This partnership is a part of a DHL Corporate Responsibility initiative in Thailand called “Ton Kla” or “Young Plant.” The program aims to encourage voluntarism among its employees to contribute a positive impact to the Thai community.
Chananyarak Phetcharat, Managing Director, Thailand & Indochina, DHL Express said, "Since 2007, Deutsche Post DHL Group have avoided a total of 19 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions and saved 6 billion euros in fuel costs which allow us to uphold our responsibility to society and the environment, create added value for our customers and strengthen our own market position. All of us at DHL are passionately committed to this GoGreen initiative and pleased to have the opportunity to work with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment togive back to the communities where we live and work.”
