Through its partnership with the world's first all-electric motorsport, DHL provides state-of-the-art sustainable logistics, incorporating tailored multimodal transport, including both road and sea freight, that maximizes efficiency and reduces CO2 emissions. Through using biofuels for all road and sea freight, DHL will travel the expected 89,100 kilometers in Season 9 of the championship, moving approximately 415 tons of valuable freight per race, including race cars, batteries, charging units, broadcast equipment, and marketing and hospitality equipment.

DHL and Formula E will also continue to reflect their common values through the "Together Green" platform, as DHL's yellow and Formula E's blue colors combine in a vision of a greener future.

In the build-up to the inaugural Formula E race in Hyderabad, DHL conducted a clean-up drive near the city's iconic Hussain Sagar Lake.

Our efficient, eco-friendly transportation of several critical parts for Formula E is just one example of how we put these values into action."

"At DHL, we are proud to be a Founding Partner of Formula E, supporting its vision to raise awareness of e-mobility and drive the transition towards smart cities and low-carbon lifestyles. From transporting the series to engaging with fans, we are dedicated to making this exciting sport accessible to all in India. Just like on the tracks, our behind-the-scenes work at Formula E is powered by speed, precision, and cutting-edge technology," added Subramanian.

As a green logistics pioneer, in 2008 DHL became the first logistics company to commit to a measurable carbon efficiency target, pledging to improve carbon efficiency by 30% (versus 2007) by the year 2021. This goal was achieved four years ahead of schedule, in 2016, while in March 2017 it announced a commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. In 2021, DPDHL Group committed to invest 7 billion euros in clean operations and climate-neutral logistics by 2030. The funds, will for example, be used to electrify 60% of the last mile fleet by 2030.

I am thankful to all those who have reached out to us on our social media platforms appreciating our efforts and asking us questions about different interventions, songs, films, and videos that they can use on their platforms and communities to break the silence and build advocacy.

"We need to be aware that FGM has no health benefits, it only harms girls and women physically and psychologically. FGM can also lead to severe medical complications in women such as infertility as infection due to FGM is one of the main causes of Infertility. FGM also increases the risk of HIV transmission and can cause severe complications during childbirth. We must understand that FGM is recognized internationally as a violation of the human rights of girls and women. This practice needs to stop immediately. Empowering girls with the right education is the only solution to this age-norms that also promotes gender inequality," Dr. Rasha Kelej added.

The sixth episode of 'Our Africa by Merck Foundation' featured popular singer – Kenneth Mugabi from Uganda. The singer presented a new song created to support Girl Education during the episode. Fashion designers from Senegal – Safietou Seck and Aicha Fatou Gaye also featured in this episode and showcased their designs that displayed strong and relevant messages about stopping FGM.

FGM comprises of a procedure that involves altering or injuring the female genitalia for non-medical reasons and is recognized internationally as a violation of the human rights, the health and the integrity of girls and women. Girls who undergo female genital mutilation face short-term complications such as severe pain, shock, excessive bleeding, infections, and difficulty in passing urine, as well as long-term consequences for their sexual and reproductive health and mental health. Although primarily concentrated in 30 countries in Africa and the Middle East, female genital mutilation is a universal problem and is also practiced in some countries in Asia and Latin America.

"I strongly believe that Education is one of the most critical areas of women empowerment and will definitely help in stopping practices such as FGM which do not benefit anyone. Through our "Educating Linda" program, we support young girls who are unprivileged but brilliant to continue their education, from many African countries. The spirit of the project is to provide an opportunity to such girls to pursue their dreams and reach their potential through access to education. Merck Foundation has released many inspiring children's storybooks and songs to support girl education," emphasized Senator Kelej.
