DPD to launch new EcoLab in an effort to meet sustainability targets

DPD has partnered with innovation specialist L Marks to launch an EcoLab with the aim of using technology and innovation to reduce its carbon emissions within its transport, delivery, and warehousing processes.

According to DPD, the EcoLab will be a “ten-week immersive programme where participants will have the opportunity to validate their solutions, access to DPD’s network and resources, and mentorship from industry experts.”

Businesses that might be suitable for this programme will be scouted by L Marks.

A key aim of the EcoLab will be assisting DPD in reaching its goal of reaching net zero by 2040.

Tim Jones, Director of Marketing, Communications & Sustainability at DPDgroup UK said: “We are delighted to be partnering with L Marks to launch this EcoLab. The project will play a key part in shaping our sustainability strategy and helping achieve our stated aim of being the most sustainable parcel delivery company in the UK.

“Investing in and developing new sustainable technologies and innovations is crucial in the next few years to ensure we can reach net zero, and partnering with experts in this way can accelerate that progress.” Read more
