DHL has comprehensive emissions reporting and SBTi-validated targets, but emissions reductions are modest and decelerating toward 2030 goals. Aviation fuel dominates the energy mix despite SAF blending at just 4.4%. Greenwashing concerns around offset claims, weak biodiversity assessment, and inconsistent climate lobbying undermine credibility.
