More and more companies from a wide range of industries are setting climate protection goals that depend, among other things, on the support of their suppliers. Our goal is to offer them an extensive portfolio of green products and solutions for logistics. As the world's leading logistics company, we recognize our responsibility to set a good example in our industry and assume a pioneering role in sustainability. That's why we are reducing our carbon footprint at the source. We believe we can make a significant contribution to climate protection by working together side by side with you, our customers.

In the past few years, we at Deutsche Post and DHL have managed to achieve sustainable growth and adapt successfully to structural change. Despite higher volumes, we've actually reduced our carbon footprint in some areas. Delivery is carbon free in over 50% of our delivery districts, and we intend to increase this share to 70% by 2025.

To further improve our performance, we are stepping up investments in new technologies and processes with the medium-term goal of offering carbon-free mail and parcel service. Our action plan includes alternative transport solutions as well as new building and energy solutions. We will also continue to expand our fleet of electric vehicles. These infrastructural measures will help us achieve a targeted reduction in our carbon emissions, making our core processes more sustainable than ever before.
