We All Share The #SameAddress

The second part of DPDgroup's #SameAddress campaign has launched. The campaign runs for six weeks across 20 European countries and Russia. The campaign aims at promoting our environmental commitment as a group.  

Wherever you live, wherever you work or wherever your parcels are delivered, we all share the SameAddress – our planet -  and we must take care of it. 

Follow the activity on our social media platforms. #SameAddress 


Conscious of our responsibility towards the planet and its people, we aim at being the most sustainable delivery company in Europe.

ElectriCity
Ireland's first electric parcel delivery depot opened its doors at the end of April 2019 at Dublin’s Docklands Innovation Park on East Wall Road.
The all electric fleet serves the Dublin City Centre area, providing a green final mile delivery solution to consumers in the area. DPD Ireland’s electric fleet, comprises vehicles in a range of sizes from small Paxsters whose versatile size allows easy movement throughout the city streets, to the Goupils and LDVs which are suited to carrying larger parcels. 


 ‘Making Dublin Cleaner One Delivery At A Time’ Our ElectriCity initiative has been inspired by our commitment to our Corporate Social Responsibility. As a carrier, we have a responsibility to the environment and to our customers. Every parcel delivered by our electric fleet is directly reducing carbon impact. We’re making Dublin cleaner, one delivery at a time! Our distinct floral motif is inspired by a commitment to becoming more clean and green, increasing our transparency and connecting more closely with our community.

Carbon Neutral Commitment
Carbon Neutral Commitment - Committed to 100% carbon neutral deliveries

Wherever you call home, we only have one Earth. That’s why DPDgroup is committed to fighting climate change with each and every parcel delivery. We do this by precisely measuring our carbon footprint per parcel, reducing it in any way we can, and offsetting the remaining emissions by funding clean energy projects around the world.

The result is 100% carbon neutral parcel delivery across Europe. All at no extra cost to our customers. In 2019, we reduced CO2 emissions by 14% per parcel. We also topped the voluntary carbon offset market in the CEP sector. Smyths Toys have introduced an additional 6 box sixes to their packing facility. This has resulted in trailer fill going from 600 parcels to around 900/1000. Through our leading tech and talented teams, the DPD Ireland Team will work tirelessly towards reducing our carbon emissions per parcel by 30% by 2025.



Smart Urban Delivery - Delivering a Zero Emissions Future

Smart Urban Delivery has been a key focal point for DPD for several years. DPD Ireland was the first carrier to offer our customers communication regarding their delivery time window. While our operational efficiency has been driven by innovative technological solutions like our DPD Predict ™ service, our commitment now is even more visible with our great new electric fleet and depot. As one of the largest delivery companies in Europe, DPDgroup strives to reduce our environmental footprint to improve everyday urban life for communities everywhere. To achieve this, we are rolling out zero emission and low emission delivery vehicles across our fleets along with emission reduction initiatives and innovative delivery solutions to reduce the carbon footprint of every parcel we deliver.



Innovative Entrepreneurship - Dedicated to help local enterprise thrive, through our expertise

Bright ideas and brave thinking drive us all forward. At DPDgroup we believe in fostering that spirit of innovation to help us grow as a business, to help our employees grow in skills and ambition, and to help communities grow to solve social challenges and innovate for positive change. We do this by stimulating employee innovation. By empowering social entrepreneurs and by supporting innovative projects in the communities where we operate.DPD Ireland’s PickUp Network: Innovative Entrepreneurship is all about sharing our expertise to help local enterprise thrive. In Ireland, we operate a network of 400 PickUp locations. These are corner stores or small shops with late opening hours, where we can leave a parcel for collection. This drives footfall in store, supporting local businesses, while offering a convenient pickup point for our customers to receive parcels, if they opt for this.

Closer communities - Dedicated to support our communities worldwide

As recent times have shown us, wherever you live, we are all connected. That’s why DPDgroup and our staff in all the countries we operate in go all-out to support local communities in any way we can. DPD Ireland sponsors the Irish Wheelchair Association, Jack and Jill, and Stampify. By bringing people together, we help make a difference in lots of small ways. For DPDgroup, it helps us understand local challenges and support worthy causes. For our employees, it unlocks passion for causes close to their heart. For communities everywhere, it’s our way of saying thank you.
