[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dae-yeol] Logistics company DHL announced on the 19th that it has been selected as the official logistics partner for the UK-based four-member band Coldplay's world tour.


Throughout the entire process of this world tour, they have committed to reducing carbon emissions, and DHL will assist in various ways. The company stated, "We plan to support with multidimensional methods to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in sustainable logistics transportation."


The company minimizes carbon emissions and other environmental impacts across the entire transportation supply chain. In air and sea transport, advanced biofuels are used, while on land, electric vehicles and trucks fueled by bio liquefied natural gas are widely employed.


By being selected as Coldplay's logistics partner, in addition to conducting eco-friendly transportation operations, they will procure all the power needed for the performances by mixing renewable energy and bio-diesel certified as renewable. They will also attempt methods to convert audience movement into energy by utilizing devices installed on the venue floor and pedal-powered bicycles. The band has pledged to plant one tree for every ticket sold.



Phil Harvey, Coldplay's co-manager, said, "When we announced this world tour, we promised to reduce more than 50% of the major carbon emissions generated during the previous tour," adding, "DHL helped minimize the carbon emissions of this world tour through their expertise and investment in sustainable logistics."
