The Merece store chose DPD as its delivery partner because of its commitment to environmentally responsible practices. In addition to the optimization of delivery routes, which as a result of operational efficiency results in reduced emissions, DPD's sustainability program ensures the progressive increase of the fleet with reduced emissions, the switch to renewable energy sources and the monitoring of air quality in European cities.

 

In addition, DPD is the first global parcel delivery company to have its short (2030) and long-term (2040) CO2 emission reduction targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This historic approval scientifically validates its goal of achieving net zero by 2040 and puts DPD on a clear path to being the international benchmark in sustainable deliveries.

 

By choosing DPD as its logistics partner, the Merece store is reinforcing its commitment to a business model that respects the environment.

Why won't you deliver my package to my home?

A strategic decision taken by the Merece store was to choose to make deliveries only to pickup pointsinstead of delivering directly to customers' homes. This choice was made with the aim of reducing the additional footprint associated with the "last mile", i.e. the last stage of the delivery to the final destination. Concentrating deliveries at pickup points not only reduces the environmental impact of deliveries, but also promotes greater logistical efficiency. With more than 1,200 pickup points, we can guarantee that our product is always close by.

Ideally, take a walk or a bike ride to pick up your package!
