HPE’s 2024 Logistics Sustainability Partner of the Year awarded to DB Schenker

We are pleased to announce DB Schenker has earned the 2024 Logistics Sustainability Partner of the Year Award for establishing data transparency and implementing innovative carbon reduction logistics which has furthered HPE’s industry-differentiating sustainable logistics efforts.

Why DB Schenker Stands Out as a Strategic Partner

DB Schenker has demonstrated what it means to be an exceptional partner—consistently delivering on sustainability goals and working alongside HPE to drive environmental change. Here’s why they’ve earned this recognition:

• Data Transparency: At HPE, we are committed to reducing emissions not just at a corporate level but also measuring and reducing per-shipment CO2.  You cannot reduce what you do not measure. HPE has established per-shipment carbon measurement requirements, and Schenker has provided accurate per-shipment emissions data allowing HPE to meet its commitments.
• Proven Carbon Reduction: DB Schenker has helped us advance our carbon reduction efforts through the deployment of alternate low-carbon fuels across air and ocean freight.
• Carbon-Reduction Roadmap: To reduce carbon, every step counts. To achieve HPE’s 2030 commitment of 42% reduction across Scope 3, requires both long- and short-term planning. Schenker continues to partner with HPE on identifying and executing opportunities that allow HPE to reduce our carbon footprint whilst meeting our delivery commitments.

Together, DB Schenker and HPE are aligning efforts to progress against one of the most ambitious sustainability aims: becoming a net-zero enterprise by 2040. Their contributions have been instrumental in pushing this vision forward, demonstrating that real impact comes from aligning the right partners.

Our Shared Path Toward a Net-Zero Future

At HPE, we are committed to progressing toward a net-zero future across our entire value chain, and this partnership is a critical element of that journey. In collaboration with partners like DB Schenker, we are working toward ambitious sustainability goals that include:

• 70% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030 from a 2020 baseline
• 42% reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions¹ by 2030 from a 2020 baseline
• 90% reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 2040 from a 2020 baseline

These targets are only the beginning. Our collaboration with DB Schenker is a key piece of the puzzle, helping us drive the action and innovation, needed to achieve these targets and inspire change across our industry.

As we look toward the future, HPE remains committed to being a catalyst for progress. Through powerful partnerships and unwavering commitment, we aim to lead the charge for a sustainable world, one that benefits our customers, communities, and the planet.

The Path Forward: Driving Impact with Every Step

At the core of our approach is a belief in collaboration and the power of partnerships. With DB Schenker, we’ve demonstrated that sustainable transformation is achievable when we work together, aligning our goals and efforts toward a shared vision. This partnership is just one example of how HPE aims to achieve net-zero emissions and build a more sustainable world for generations to come.
