Bonn - November 11, 2011: Deutsche Post DHL, the world's largest transport and

responsibility. The consulting company Lundquist awarded Deutsche Post DHL first place
in the DAX-30 ranking for best CSR online communications as well as the "CSR Online

power the dialogue on corporate sustainability with all members of society. I am very
pleased with this distinction for our report on corporate responsibility and it confirms that
we are on the right track," said Rainer Wend, head of Public Policy and Corporate

DHL receives first converted Airbus A300-600 from
EADS Elbe Flugzeugwerke Dresden

18 aircraft are being converted for DHL through mid-2013

Less fuel consumption and noise

New jobs in the region
Leipzig, Germany, November 15, 2011: EADS Elbe Flugzeugwerke Dresden GmbH handed
over the first of 18 Airbus A300-600s to DHL Express today. The aircraft are being converted
from passenger planes to freighters. Dr. Andreas Sperl, CEO of EADS Elbe Flugzeugwerke
Dresden GmbH, carried out the official handover to DHL subsidiary European Air Transport
GmbH (EAT) in Leipzig, Germany. Roland Werner, State Secretary of Traffic at the State
Ministry for Economic Affairs, Labor and Transport of the German state of Saxony, was present
for the event.
DHL Express, the world leader in international express shipping, purchased 18 Airbus A300600 passenger planes to modernize its European air fleet. EADS Elbe Flugzeugwerke in
Dresden is converting the planes into freighter through mid-2013.
“The best indicator that you’re doing a good job is when a customer places another order.
That’s why we’re proud to have the opportunity to work for DHL, the global market leader in
express and logistics, again. I’m happy to hand over the first of 18 converted A300-600 aircraft
to EAT Leipzig,” said Sperl. “DHL and EFW have had a long and mutually beneficial
partnership. Almost exactly 14 years ago, on December 12, 1997, the first converted A300-B4200 was delivered to EAT Brussels. Another six aircraft were converted by EFW in the years to
follow and operated by DHL. This current contract from DHL is a historic one for EFW. It’s the
largest order we’ve ever received. The aircraft DHL purchased were in outstanding condition
even before conversion and they’ll be an important part of the modernization of EAT’s fleet. It’s
also a good day for the state of Saxony, the home of Elbe Flugzeugewerke. Two global market
leaders in their industries are working together in Saxony, creating jobs and a future for the
people of our state.”

The A300-600 offers completely new and modern technology compared to its predecessor, the
A300-B4-200. With a payload of some 49 tons, it can carry up to five tons more cargo, fly 900
kilometers farther, consume up to 20 percent less fuel and generates less noise than its
predecessor.
By introducing the A300-600 as a mid-range freighter, the company ensures continuously high
reliability and on-time performance for years to come. “At the same time this brings us a big
step closer to our goal to reduce our carbon emissions by 30 percent by 2020,” said Markus
Otto, CEO of EAT Leipzig. DHL will put the new Airbus into operation on November 21, 2011,
on the Leipzig/Halle-Frankfurt-London/Luton route. “What’s more, we’re going to hire 140 new
employees for a long period of time as a result of introducing the A300-600 aircraft. So we’re
keeping our promise to create more jobs in the region.”
“DHL’s activity at its air freight hub in Leipzig/Hall has led to a number of additional companies
settling near the airport and is seen as a promising job generator for the entire state of Saxony
and central Germany. This major contract for converting the aircraft awarded by DHL to EADS
Elbe Flugzeugwerke GmbH in Dresden has secured even more jobs for Saxony,” said Roland
Werner. He also welcomed the use of quieter aircraft because this relieves residents from
aircraft noise.
The DHL Air Hub in Leipzig/Halle has been the operational base for most of DHL’s European
air fleet since the beginning of 2008. Each day more than 55 aircraft service intra-European
and intercontinental express flight routes from there. Deutsche Post DHL has invested over
€300 million in the hub. More than 3,000 employees ensure that 1,500 tons of freight are
routed through the hub each day. Since September 2011, another DHL division – DHL Supply
Chain – is building a €14-million, multi-user logistics center right next to the airport.
Construction is scheduled to be completed in 2014. The core competencies of the two DHL
divisions – international time definite delivery services at Express and customized contract
logistics at Supply Chain – will be bundled there and 175 jobs will be created.

Exemplary personnel policies at Deutsche Post DHL win
multiple awards
 Group receives the German Diversity Award 2011
 Human Capital Club e.V. Award honors the DAX company for the
most-transparent policies in human resources
 Board Member for Personnel Scheurle: “Diversity and transparency
contribute to long-term business success”
Bonn, November 16, 2011: Deutsche Post DHL, the world’s leading mail and logistics
company, has just received two awards for its human-resources policies. The Group’s
diversity management was honored with the first-ever German Diversity Award 2011,
which was presented under the motto of “Thinking, Talking, Acting and Working Together
– Diversity as an Opportunity.” The award was sponsored by the German business
magazine Wirtschaftswoche, the consultancy McKinsey&Company and the consumer
business Henkel. The price was awarded in four categories to companies, individuals and
innovative projects that encourage a working environment characterized by diversity in
Germany. Deutsche Post DHL also received this year’s award given by the Human
Capital Club e.V., a group established in 2001 that includes many partner organizations in
German-speaking regions, including the German Association of Human Resources
Management and the German Network of Business Ethics. Here Deutsche Post DHL was
awarded as the DAX company with the most-transparent personnel policies.
“Deutsche Post DHL’s core business is all about crossing borders and facilitating
exchange and communication. We can do our job only if our employees work together
hand in hand,” says Walter Scheurle, Board Member for Personnel of Deutsche Post
DHL. “We view the diversity that has arisen over the years as a true competitive edge.
After all, we as a multicultural company have an opportunity to learn from one another
every day.”

The commitment of Deutsche Post DHL to human resources is reflected in its Group
Strategy 2015, the guiding principle of “Respect and Results,” and the effort to become
the employer of choice in the mail and logistics industry and its “People Strategy.” Here,
diversity management has been given a clear role: Against the backdrop of demographic
change and the transformation of the job market, the company plans to consciously
promote diversity in its workforce and the formation of multicultural and heterogeneous
teams. Deutsche Post DHL is also determined to fill as many job vacancies as possible
with applicants who have diverse backgrounds. The company uses a number of measures
and initiatives to put its diversity management into practice. These steps range from a
partnership with Teach First Germany and “UPstairs,” a scholarship program for
employees’ children, to a concept called MIDEAL (a German acronym that stands for
living with each other at work) that the company uses to actively oppose discrimination
and violence. To promote diversity in the Group, Deutsche Post DHL also supports the
RainbowNet, an internal network for lesbian, homosexual, bisexual and transsexual
employees.
“The intensive discussions among many colleagues with various experiences, languages,
religions and cultural and ethnic backgrounds really enrich our company. But it can work
only on the basis of tolerance and mutual respect,” Scheurle says.
As a labor-intensive company, Deutsche Post DHL needs to retain experienced, loyal
experts and executives and recruit talented people. With its Sustainability Report, its
information on the Internet and its award-winning online career portal, the Group gives the
general public a number of opportunities to learn about its human-resources policies and
its commitment to corporate social responsibility. This high level of transparency has now
been recognized with the Human Capital Club Award. The best DAX company was
determined on the basis of the Human Capital Transparency Monitor (HCTM) of the
Human Capital Club e.V. in cooperation with Professor Dr. Ingo Weller of the Institute of
Human Capital Management at the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich. Deutsche
Post DHL scored particularly high regarding information about training positions, the age
structure of the company’s workforce, women in the company, the employee survey,
talent management, recruitment, the Global Compact and the Global Reporting Initiative.
“Transparency in human-resources policies polishes a company’s image and creates trust
– among employees, customers and potential applicants,” Scheurle says. “As a result,
diversity and transparency are the prerequisite for successful human-resources policies
and contribute significantly to the company’s long-range development.”

Deutsche Post DHL also set standards regarding its employees’ health: For the second
consecutive year, the company has received the Corporate Health Award 2011 in the
category of transport/logistics. The award was presented at the beginning of November by
the German business newspaper Handelsblatt, TÜV SÜD Life Services and EuPD
Research. The award-winning health-management system at Deutsche Post DHL was
recognized this year for its model integration of health management into all company
processes and company policies.
