Sai Life Sciences Adopts DHL GoGreen Plus for Logistics

DHL Express, the world’s leading international express service provider, has partnered with Sai Life Sciences (BSE: 544306 I NSE: SAILIFE), an innovator focused global contract research, development and manufacturing organization (CRDMO) to use DHL’s emission-reduced shipping solution - GoGreen Plus (GGP). The partnership provides Sai Life Sciences with a greenhouse gas emissions reduction of up to 90% for its international logistics needs by using SAF.

Sai Life Sciences works with over 300 global innovator pharma and biotech companies to accelerate the pace of their drug discovery, development and commercialization.

R.S Subramanian, Senior Vice President – South Asia, DHL Express, said, "Addressing Scope 3 emissions is critical to DHL for achieving the commitment to be carbon neutral by 2050. GoGreen Plus is a pioneering service that helps our customers address Scope 3 carbon emissions of their critical shipments to global destinations. The Life sciences and healthcare sector is a focus area for growth outlined in our Strategy 2030 and GoGreen Plus is very relevant to key players here who have a committed road map on carbon footprint reduction. We are incredibly proud to have Sai Life Sciences join us on our mission to reduce Scope 3 emissions with GoGreen Plus - the most technically viable option currently available.”

 Sivaramakrishnan Chittor, CFO, Sai Life Sciences added, “Sustainability is a priority woven into every part of our business — including logistics. With a global supplier network and customer base across the US, Europe, and Japan, time-sensitive deliveries are essential to our operations. Our partnership with DHL reflects a shared commitment to reducing environmental impact while maintaining the reliability and precision that our customers depend on. It’s one more way we’re integrating sustainability into how we work — with intent and consistency — to make it better together."  

Sai Life Sciences will implement GoGreen Plus across its key international shipping routes, reinforcing its ESG priorities and sustainability roadmap. This partnership marks another milestone in DHL Express’ mission to drive sustainable logistics solutions and support customers in their decarbonization journey.

As part of Strategy 2030, DHL has set itself the goal of being the “Green Logistics of Choice” for all its stakeholders. This means that while DHL works to reduce its absolute GHG emissions to 29 million metric tons in 2030 and net zero by 2050. DHL also ensures that it helps customers decarbonize their supply chains to the greatest extent possible. This is where GoGreen Plus becomes a crucial product offering for customers to accelerate their decarbonization journey. Additionally, DHL is investing €2 billion over the next five years to enhance logistics operations to meet the evolving needs of the life sciences and healthcare industry. This investment will fund new GDP-certified Pharma Hubs, expand cold chain capacity, and improve temperature-controlled transport solutions to meet the rising demand in pharmaceuticals and advanced therapies.

The GoGreen Plus service focuses on insetting - reducing carbon emissions directly within the logistics sector. In 2024, the share of sustainable aviation fuels used in DHL Group’s own fleet was 3.5%, despite the continued low availability of such fuels.

Through insetting, GoGreen Plus offers customers a measurable and certified way to reduce logistics-related emissions without relying on offsetting. The SAF used is sourced through global partnerships with suppliers like bp, Neste, Cosmo Oil Marketing and World Energy, and is produced from sustainable feedstocks such as used cooking oil and other residues.
