Today is Supply Chain Day. DHL Freight, in collaboration with CBS International Business School and the initiative Wirtschaftsmacher is highlighting an industry that keeps the world in motion. Logistics isn't just about delivering packages; it's about delivering opportunity, innovation and fostering global connections. Logistics is the lifeline of our global economy, a dynamic industry that's constantly evolving with the tides of technological progress. It's about connecting people, improving lives (our DHL Group's purpose statement, btw). In our live-streamed session from the CBS campus on 18 April (in German language), our colleague Uwe Dönges and apprentices from DHL Freight will discuss common preconceptions about logistics and challenge them with exciting stories and practical examples. On April 19, Nisha Pillay will comment on Employer Branding strategies and join representatives from universities and other companies for an inspiring panel discussion on how to mobilize young people for the logistics industry. To find out more, visit the Supply Chain Day info page (https://lnkd.in/ewjiKTBr, in German language) and become part of an industry that is future-proof, resilient and ripe with opportunity.    #SupplyChainDay #Logistics #DHLFreight #YourFutureDelivered #TagDerLogistik #wirtschaftsmacher #WeAreFreight #WeGrowTogether

It is essential for companies to prioritize reducing their environmental impact and embracing sustainability throughout their supply chain. This not only complies with statutory requirements but also resonates with customers valuing the responsibility of the products they support. Ultimately, this commitment enhances the company's brand and reputation. At DHL Supply Chain, we are committed to boost carbon-neutral or low-emission solutions in transportation, logistics properties, and packaging. Our approach involves tailoring solutions to each customer's specific needs by considering factors such as sustainability goals, environmental impact and market technology. Collaboration is the key in building successful business projects that align with the goals of all parties involved. The partnership between ABB and DHL Supply Chain, which began in 2007, has gradually expanded over the years. The recent extension from storage and factory internal logistics to 100% emission free transportation between warehouse and factory is a significant new step in our long-term cooperation. #Sustainability #GoGreen #Logistics #Transportation #CarbonNeutral #FullElectric #TogetherUnstoppable

Big news today for DB Schenker!! Deutsche Bahn has decided to sell the company to DSV. With DSV stepping in as the new owner, there’s a lot of excitement about the opportunities this could bring. More investment, bigger plans for growth, and the chance to make an even stronger impact in the logistics world. Both DSV and DB Schenker have been successful in their own right, and now the goal is to work together to become a global leader in freight and logistics. There’s a lot to be excited about. More resources, access to new markets, and the chance to innovate on a larger scale. But with every big change, there’s always the question of what challenges might come up. How will DB Schenker’s culture be affected? Could there be some bumps along the way as the two companies merge, or will it be smooth sailing with both sides getting stronger? What do you think? Is this move a big win for everyone involved, or are there some risks to watch out for? I’d love to hear your thoughts on the pros and cons of this deal from those at the forefront our industry!

Miebach Consulting/DVZ Logistics Outsourcing Study 2023   Part 10: Outsourcing grows ever more slowly - now also abroad   A significant reduction in the positive prevailing mood can be seen among both German shippers and service providers. The trend from 1998 to 2014, with a continuous decrease in the proportion of those who predicted an increasing logistics outsourcing trend (1998: 66%, 2014: 53%), seemed to be broken in 2017, when an increasing value of 62% could be noted again. This short-term recovery could not be confirmed in 2020: The rate of those expecting a further increase in logistics outsourcing fell to 48%, and thus below the 50% mark for the first time. In the current study, this figure is now 49% and thus still below the 50% mark. This development can be seen both among service providers and shippers. In the other regions considered here, the mood continues to cool. Among shippers in LATAM, the rate of those expecting further growth falls from 71% to 64%, and in the rest of Europe from 77% to 60%. The corresponding rates among service providers are 80% in LATAM and 50% in the rest of Europe.   With this short article our series regarding the 2023 Logistics Outsourcing Study ends. We hope you did enjoy and stay curious for the next logistics discussions! Outlook: We will conduct a European Chemical Logistics Study during the next months and start presenting the results here in Linkedin most probably in Q4/2024.

✨What Our DHL Global Forwarding, Freight CEO Tim Scharwath says about Volatility in the #Logistics Industry. Our dear CEO starts by first mentioning how volatility has now become the new normal; he says: "Volatility is the New Normal" "Change is the new constant in our VUCA world (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity). At DHL Global Forwarding, we're navigating these uncharted territories with resilience and innovation." The fluctuating demands and rates in global shipping and logistics have challenged the notion of 'normal'. Instead of longing for a return to the old ways, we're embracing this volatility and turning it into opportunities. Our digital solutions like #myDHLi, powered by GenAI, are helping us stay ahead of the curve, while the human element remains at the heart of everything we do. Our success is built on strong relationships, ownership, and partnerships with our people, customers, and service partners. Join us on this journey as we redefine 'normal' in our latest blog post by Tim Scharwath, CEO DHL Global Forwarding, Freight.

Do you remember what you did on October 23, 35 years ago? I do! It was my very first working day with UPS. Started part time in a center in the South of Germany, just to earn some money before Christmas. And as for many other UPSers, it turned into a professional career. Coming from a small village in Germany, close to the French border, I would have never believed what opportunities were offered to me and my family. And one element that made this company great is the promotion from within policy. As our founder Jim Casey said in 1945: ‘We are trying to build people. There are opportunities ahead for those who are made of good stuff.’ I clearly benefited from people trusting in my capabilities, developing me for greater responsibilities and then also providing me the opportunity to assume new roles.    This finally let to seventeen different positions, nine relocations, and living and working in four different countries – initially Germany but also over 20 years in Paris, France, London UK, and three times in Brussels, Belgium. In addition, I had special assignments in the US and in multiple global projects. My current and previous positions really took me around the world experiencing cultural differences and communalities on all continents. And what I also found, no matter where I went, were outstanding UPSers – open, trusting, welcoming. Fantastic partners and many of them I now call friends. I could not be more grateful for the many wonderful people I met along the way and these memories are long-lasting.     What else kept me for 35 years with this company? First, the alignment of my personal values without company values. Trust, openness, teamwork, partnership, community involvement, sustainability, and inclusion, to mention the most important ones. If you find that perfect match, no need to look any further. And in addition, the company allowed me to develop and create the roles I have been assigned to. This included the freedom to innovate processes, technology, and ways of working. Some of them made it to being a UPS global standard and provided me with some HR awards 😊. On a personal level, working globally and living outside my home country opened my eyes to the cultural differences and taught me how to maneuver in an international business environment. A life changing experience. My 30+ married wife Rita and I saw our two boys growing up in an international environment, being tri-lingual and now doing very well personally and professionally. In closing, I can only echo our founder again, who stated: ‘Our company has grown because our people have grown, and our people have grown because our company has grown. And so it will be in the future…’ I am convinced that the best is yet to come.
