Deutsche Post DHL werkt hard aan CSR.

Chief executive Frank Appel:
“We are all facing short-term economic pressure due to the current global financial crisis. Nevertheless, we need to remain committed to our shared responsibility for the further development of the communities where we work, as well as the protection of the environment we all live in. Deutsche Post DHL is truly committed to promoting sustainable development with a clear focus on three areas: environment, disaster management, and education.
In the light of recent evidence of the serious risks from global warming, it is clearly in our long-term business interest to use energy more efficiently. As a signatory to the UN Global Compact, we continue to support its 10 principles and have recently endorsed the UN Caring for Climate statement. We are the first global logistics company to set a clear CO2 efficiency improvement target of 30% by 2020 and an interim target of a 10% improvement in our own operations by 2012. We have made a good start.
But we can do more. As a global logistics company, we are often the first company to arrive on the scene to support relief efforts when major natural disasters strike. We deliver help by strengthening logistics at the airport. This speeds the delivery and distribution of aid to people in need. Our DHL Disaster Response Teams are ready to deploy anytime, anywhere. The health education and awareness projects we support with UNICEF are saving lives and helping to reduce child mortality. After a successful start in Kenya, we are now working with UNICEF to bring health services and education to villages in India and Peru.
We are the world’s leading logistics company with employees in almost every major community on this planet. As such we have a special responsibility to use our core competencies to benefit society and to minimize our impact on the environment. We can be successful only if we focus on sustainable development. This means doing business in a sustainable and successful manner and assuming our social responsibility.”
