DHL Express, the world’s leading express service provider, and ECOGLOBAL Foundation sign an agreement to safely recycle used lead-acid batteries.  Under the partnership, DHL will store all its used lead batteries in acid proof containers that ECOGLOBAL will provide.  The containers will then be collected and properly recycled.

 “DHL is committed to this partnership because we are aware that used batteries are serious pollutants.”  said Nurhayati Abdullah, DHL Express Philippines Country Manager.  The partnership with ECOGLOBAL is line with one of DHL’s 3 focal points of its corporate responsibility programs, namely, GoGreen (environment protection), GoGreen (protecting the environment), GoHelp (delivering help) and GoTeach (championing education).
