DHL on the Urban Planet’s “Road of Solutions” at Expo 2010

At the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai, from May 1 to October 31, 2010, DHL will present innovations in the areas of sustainability and “green” solutions. As the world’s biggest logistics company who was the first to set itself a groupwide quantified carbon efficiency objective, DHL is the ideal partner for the Urban Planet pavilion, the central Chinese theme pavilion presenting the Expo’s overall theme “Better City, Better Life”.

Whereas in the first part of the pavilion the ascending “Road of Crisis” visualizes compellingly the destruction of the planet, the descending “Road of Solutions” presents concepts for a better, greener future. This is the section where DHL presents its ten examples for “green” solutions.

At the „Road of Solutions“ exhibition DHL shows what solutions the company already developed to meet the global and urban challenges. DHL complies with the latest standards when building new facilities, solar panels are used, for instance, or rainwater gets collected. All these measures help to protect the climate – and minimize operation costs.

DHL presents its leading role in the area of sustainability and DHL Asia-Pacific takes the opportunity to invite customers to get a lively impression of the Group´s “green” activities and to organize symposia and discussion panels.

The World Expo 2010 is expected to be the largest world exhibition of all time. 240 countries and organizations, exhibiting in an area covering altogether 5.4 km², will be expecting a total of 70 million visitors. Having the Expo in China, DHL as the Express market leader and as the leading logistics provider present in over 40 countries and territories in Asia-Pacific agreed to participate in this global event.
