DHL Express rolls out Solar Power projects across its regional facilities

In line with its global sustainability ambitions to become a net-zero logistics company by 2050, DHL Express, the leading express and logistics provider in the region, is investing in solar power projects across all its regional facilities, with the first solar photovoltaic (PV) installation completed in its Amman facility, which will reduce energy consumption by 100%. DHL has installed 434 solar panels in its Jordan facility, in partnership with Yellow Door Energy, the leading sustainable energy partner for businesses in the region. The solar plant is expected to produce 294 kWh of clean energy in the first year of operation, which would cover 100% of the facility’s energy consumption needs while halving the facility’s electricity costs. “We continue to honor our commitment towards achieving a zero-emissions future,” said Bachi Spiga, Head of Operations at DHL Express MENA. “Our investments in solar systems forms part of a long-term strategy to reduce our energy consumption across our operations by tapping into renewable solutions and alternative energy supplies. As a trailblazer in driving sustainable logistics, DHL is executing an eco-friendly strategy to reduce its climate impact through sustainable investments across all markets we operate in, as we strive to meet our 2050 goals.”
