DHL Express survey finds shipping sustainability important, amid limited investment


Sustainability remains a key business objective for many small and midsized businesses, but the interest in developing sustainable logistics and supply chain solutions is not translating into investment.

“Sustainability is now at the forefront of many businesses’ agendas,” said Michiel Greeven, executive vice president global commercial at DHL Express. “But the challenge of developing and implementing a sustainability strategy can often seem overwhelming—with many survey respondents highlighting not knowing where to start on the journey.”

DHL Express last month released the results of a global survey of over 5,000 SME decision-makers across 11 markets: the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Australia, China, Singapore, Japan, Mexico, Canada and India. The businesses represented nine sectors: retail, consumer goods, professional services, engineering, fashion, technology, chemicals, life science & healthcare, and financial service. The full survey is available in an ebook.
