Envision Group, a leading global green technology company, and DHL Group, the world’s leading logistics company, signed a Strategic Partnership Agreement to foster a comprehensive cooperation in logistics solutions and mutually accelerate the progress of sustainability targets. The partnership covers four main areas: logistics solutions, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), green energy, and the joint development of a “Net Zero Industrial & Logistic Park”. The partnership will combine DHL Group’s extensive logistics expertise with Envision’s knowledge of renewable energy solutions, aiming to accelerate the advancement of environmental energy initiatives. Both companies are committed to sustainability with targets to reach net-zero emissions.
SAF is a key focus area in the scope of this partnership. Both companies recognize SAF as a critical component in reducing carbon emissions in air transportation and advancing the decarbonization of the aviation industry, with DHL aiming to increase the SAF mix to 30% by 2030. In this strategic collaboration, Envision will provide SAF for DHL, supporting the logistics company’s goals of reducing carbon emissions while securing global supply. Envision will also explore renewable feedstock sources and technology routes to continuously advance decarbonization in the air transportation sector.
Zhang Lei, Chairman of Envision Group, said, “The transportation sector, mainly sustainable fuel, represents a critical frontier in the transition to zero-carbon emissions but is currently trailing targets largely due to high costs associated with green hydrocarbons and their derivatives. Envision aims to address this cost barrier through systematic technological innovation, revolutionizing the production of SAF products, and facilitating the large-scale industrial development of this “new oil” to support global efforts towards carbon neutrality.”
Additionally, Envision will provide comprehensive green energy transition solutions, including electricity, to support DHL’s renewable energy goals through focused green power procurements.
The agreement establishes DHL as a key strategic partner for Envision’s development plans, leveraging DHL’s extensive network across over 220 countries and territories to support Envision’s goals in entering new markets for renewable energy. As Envision’s preferred logistics partner, DHL will deploy fully integrated logistics solutions to improve efficiency and quality, ensuring seamless global supply chain management, and comprehensive support in navigating regulatory requirements and operational challenges.
“The partnership framework with Envision represents a further step towards global sustainability leadership for DHL Group. By leveraging our unparalleled logistics expertise and unique global network, we are committed to supporting Envision in their international expansion and logistical challenges.” said Tobias Meyer, Chief Executive Officer at DHL Group. “Together, we will lead the change in integrating green technologies and optimizing supply chains, setting new benchmarks for sustainable innovation and global environmental impact through the energy transition.”
Envision and DHL will also explore opportunities for the joint development and construction of a “Net Zero Industrial & Logistic Park” across various industry sectors. The “Net Zero Industrial Park” is a new class of industrial parks that are fully powered by a comprehensive clean energy solution and integrates the supply chains of several industries, such as electric vehicle and battery manufacturing. The Park aims to advance new electric power systems models and foster green industrial ecosystems, while ultimately expediting the global green transition for customers. Initially launched in China by Envision, it is now expanding to Europe, the Middle East, and beyond, with the support of DHL, providing innovative solutions for global zero-carbon transformation.
