Sustainability at GLS

One day, we want to be the parcel distributor that connects people without emitting CO2. We have a goal to deliver your zero-emission parcels by 2045. That's why by 2035, we will only purchase zero- and low-emission vehicles. We have already committed to powering our locations with 100% green electricity and introduced local measures to reduce our energy consumption.

Questions about GLS and sustainability

Is GLS sustainable?

We are committed to taking care of our environment and as a parcel distributor we do our best to reduce our impact on the world around us.

That's why we have joined forces with all European GLS countries to create the Climate Protect initiative, where we are working to reduce our climate and environmental footprint. It has launched a number of projects and set ambitious targets that will enable us to deliver all zero-emission parcels by 2045.

We have 107 electric cars that deliver our parcels emission-free every day throughout Denmark. We are continuously adding more electric cars to our transportation fleet, so you have a greater chance of having your parcel delivered in a more environmentally friendly way. Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to opt for delivery by electric car.
