Strategy
Strategy and targets
By establishing a global organisation under uniform management, DHL Express has realigned its strategy. The main purpose is to improve profitability and generate further organic growth. Our goal is to be the preferred provider in the international express business across all products and regions, and we are defining our range of products and services as well as our infrastructure with this aim in mind.
Creating a competitive international network
The core element of our strategy is the international air traffic network. Competitive pricing and a first-rate service on all the major international trade routes is the target. We employ specialist teams to ensure delivery of the best possible performance, profitability and growth on 74 important global trade lanes we have defined.
Exploiting strong position in domestic markets
We intend to systematically reinforce our leading position in numerous domestic markets. More than 80% of all shipments remain in the country of the sender. We intend to step up the consolidation of domestic and foreign shipments and thus leverage further cost advantages. By way of domestic business, we are also winning international orders from our customers.
