The sustainability function is critical in modern business. To achieve ESG targets and grow sustainably, businesses look to their sustainability teams to lead the way.

Forging sustainable business
Logistics is an essential driver of global trade, economic growth, and individual prosperity, but it also leaves an enormous environmental footprint. As the world’s leading logistics company, DHL Group has worked hard to set an example for sustainable business, from introducing the industry’s first green product to being the first logistics company to commit to net-zero emissions.
With DHL's mission to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, the company strives for clean operations for climate protection. It is doing this by committing itself to a set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions target by 2030 in line with the Paris Agreement through the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
With approximately 600,000 employees, DHL is one of the world's largest employers in the industry. As a great company to work for, DHL provides a safe, inclusive and engaging working environment for all of its employees.
World Sustainability Awards help drive change
Committing to progress in corporate sustainability requires a passion for change and resilience in order to succeed. Businesses are having a powerful impact on improving sustainability in many ways, from the role their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) campaigns are playing in raising sustainability awareness, to how they are designing their products and services to benefit both people and the planet. The World Sustainability Awards strive to continue this momentum, and spotlight outstanding organizations, leaders and their teams who are driving change and helping to build a better future.
The World Sustainability Awards offer an opportunity to network with industry leaders, to foster valuable connections for future collaborations. They also provide opportunities to receive validation and celebrate a company's contributions to sustainability alongside peers and experts, enhancing their credibility and visibility within the industry, as well as opportunities to gain inspiration from real-world success stories, empowering company's and teams to innovate and drive positive change in their own sustainable initiatives.
