DHL to buy power from EnBW's He Dreiht offshore wind farm
From 2026, the logistics giant will buy 80 gigawatt-hours (GWh) per year of electricity generated from the He Dreiht offshore wind farm in the German North Sea.
The move aligns with DHL's Strategy 2030 to become the 'green logistics provider of choice'. By 2050, the company wants to cut down all logistics-associated emissions to zero.
DHL Group chief procurement officer Anna Spinelli stated: 'The deal with EnBW is another important step on our path to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in logistics by 2050.
'The long-term agreement with our energy partner ensures a reliable supply of electricity from renewable sources for our operations and contributes to supporting the energy transition. This is an example of how fostering proactive supplier relationships can contribute to a more sustainable and positive ecosystem.'
The power generated by He Dreiht allows the logistics company to meet 16% of its current yearly electricity needs in Germany.
EnBW executive director trading Matthias Obert stated: 'We are delighted to support DHL Group on its journey towards zero-emission logistics. This partnership underscores our position as a major provider of sustainable energy across Europe.'
The offshore wind farm in the German North Sea will go into operation in stages, which will be completed in spring 2026.
The He Dreiht wind farm is one of the first offshore wind projects constructed without government subsidies and among the largest in Europe.
Following the successful commissioning of the EnBW Hohe See and Albatros wind farms in the North Sea, He Dreiht will double EnBW's renewable energy generation capacity in the region.
This project will use 64 Vestas V236-15 turbines, each delivering 15MW of power and marking their first commercial use. With a total installed capacity of 960MW, He Dreiht will be capable of supplying renewable energy to 1.1 million households.
"DHL to buy power from EnBW's He Dreiht offshore wind farm" was originally created and published by Power Technology, a GlobalData owned brand.

Tejidos Royo Aims to Optimize Costs with New Investment
Spanish denim mill Tejidos Royo is taking steps to mitigate effects from the adverse economic environment. The family-owned Valencian textile company is relocating two of its factories in Picassent to Alcudia de Crespins, where it was founded in 1903. The strategic plan includes a significant investment in upgrading the company's industrial infrastructure. Tejidos Royo is investing 13 million euros to renovate and build new industrial facilities for weaving, dyeing and finishing. The facilities will sit alongside the company's historic spinning plant.

The denim market never fully recovered from the pandemic. Additionally, Royo said 'profound change' in consumer behavior and the financial landscape has made it challenging to maintain continuity and competitiveness. 'We are going to leave behind a 20th century business structure to become a more flexible and efficient company,' he said. In this new phase, Royo will focus on optimizing costs, making assets profitable and revitalizing its business model through innovation, sustainability and diversification into new markets, such as technical fabrics. 'We offer a level of quality that some sectors no longer value, so we will focus on those that do. We believe that we still have a lot to offer and that is what we will fight for,' Royo said. The relocation impacts over 140 employees, many of whom have voiced strong opposition to the move, according to Spanish fashion publication Modaes. Employees are particularly frustrated by the prospect of having to commute 34 miles to the new site in Alcudia de Crespins, which they say will significantly disrupt their daily routines. The Comisiones Obreras (CCOO) union criticized Tejidos Royo, accusing the company of turning its back on its workforce and 'prioritizing cost savings over work-life balance,' the publication reports. The union called for a two-day strike. However, Tejidos Royo said it was called off after an agreement was reached with the Works Committee last Monday. The Dry Indigo innovator added that its management 'values positively the understanding reached with the workers' representatives, highlighting the shared commitment to finding solutions.' 'We are aware that many of our employees believe in this project and have expressed their support. Change brings uncertainty, but we have tried to respond to the concerns raised by the Committee, without losing sight of the economic reality we are facing. Everyone is making great efforts to move this forward,' Royo said. 'Our human team has always been the key to Tejidos Royo's success.'

FedEx, UPS, DHL executives to face fresh scrutiny in India antitrust case
By Aditya Kalra NEW DELHI (Reuters) -Top India executives of FedEx, UPS, Aramex and DHL are set to be cross-examined in coming weeks by a book publishers' group which accused them of price collusion, a new twist in an antitrust probe that cleared the courier companies of wrongdoing last year, a document shows. Allowing a complainant to interrogate companies is not common in Indian antitrust cases. It means the final findings of the antitrust investigation could change and create new challenges for the courier majors, and the case will be prolonged by several months, antitrust lawyers and government sources said. Many foreign and domestic companies are bullish about the Indian courier and parcel delivery market, which is expected to grow 11% a year to $14.3 billion by 2030, bolstered by a boom in online shopping, research firm Mordor Intelligence says. In December, Reuters reported the Competition Commission of India (CCI) found "no evidence" of courier firms sharing commercial information amongst themselves. The 2022 cartel case, whose details remain confidential in line with rules, was triggered when the Federation of Indian Publishers alleged collusion on prices and discounts by delivery firms. The CCI has now found merit in a complaint by the publishers' group which argued it must be allowed to cross-examine the delivery company executives as investigators only relied on oral submissions to give the companies a clean chit. The federation "has demonstrated sufficient cause establishing necessity and expediency of conducting such cross-examination," the CCI noted in a May 28 internal order that was reviewed by Reuters. The order said the executives to be questioned were Subhasish Chakraborty, Managing Director of India's DTDC Express; R.S. Subramanian, Managing Director of DHL Express India; Suvendu Choudhury, a vice president of FedEx in India; Percy Avari, general manager of Aramex in India, and Abbas Panju, India managing director of UPS Express. None of the executives responded to requests for comment. DHL said in a statement it operates in full compliance with all laws and is "cooperating fully with the CCI", but could not comment on specifics. The CCI, as well as other companies - DTDC, U.S.-based FedEx and UPS, and Dubai's Aramex did not respond to Reuters queries. The Federation of Indian Publishers also did not respond. It represents many Indian publishers like and Rupa Publications, as well as some foreign groups like Pan Macmillan. 'RARE' CROSS-EXAMINATION Sending the case back to the CCI investigators could become an irritant for the logistics industry, which has faced scrutiny since 2015, when France levied a $735 million fine on 20 companies, including FedEx and DHL, for secretly colluding to increase prices. In India, cross-examination of companies by the complainant "is rare," said Gautam Shahi, a competition law partner at Indian law firm Dua Associates. "Such cross-examination may reveal new facts and the conclusions of the earlier investigation report may come into question. It may change the direction of the case," he said. The CCI investigations unit will now oversee the cross-examination proceedings in coming weeks and submit a report to top antitrust officials for a review, four sources familiar with the matter said. The Federation of Indian Publishers had alleged that courier companies acted together to determine charges, and also did not reduce the fuel surcharge they charged when jet fuel prices dropped. The 202-page investigation report shared with the companies privately last year, and seen by Reuters this week, notes that 36 notices were sent to 15 courier firms during 2023-24 to gather details of their businesses, with UPS submitting the most responses - 13. The CCI report concludes no email correspondence surfaced that showed "any collusive/concerted activities" among rivals. The Federation of Indian Publishers has also successfully argued it wants to point out several anomalies in the earlier recorded statements of company executives, which were ignored by investigators, noted the CCI order that allowed the cross-examination.
