DHL Express, an international express delivery provider, and the PPD clinical research business of Thermo Fisher Scientific, have entered a collaboration under which PPD clinical research business will use DHL Express’ GoGreen Plus service and invest in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), a drop-in fuel that can be used in most conventional aircraft, to reduce emissions from air transportation. The collaboration aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with global clinical research air shipping logistics by as much as 80%.
 
Travis Cobb, Executive Vice President Global Network Operations & Aviation at DHL Express, said, “Both DHL and the PPD clinical research business share a strong commitment to carbon footprint reduction. We are pleased they can now offer their customers an emission-reduced global shipping solution. Efficient logistics isn’t just about moving goods – it’s about moving toward a sustainable future with every delivery we make.”
 
“In clinical research, deliveries need to be made quickly, often overnight, which limits our options for reducing carbon emissions, since most packages must be air shipped,” said Leon Wyszkowski, President, Analytical Services, Clinical Research, Thermo Fisher Scientific. “Given this constraint on changing transportation modes, our greatest short-term opportunity to reduce shipping emissions lies in using more sustainable fuels for air transport. By using SAF, we can immediately reduce our emissions from air shipments with DHL Express by up to 80%. Our collaboration with DHL Express demonstrates our commitment to enable our customers to advance clinical research quickly while mitigating the impact on the environment.”
