DHL (CSR INITIATIVES):


All of our CSR activities are integrated into our
Group-wide corporate responsibility strategy,
“Living Responsibility.”
Our mission as a company already contains a
strong social component – to connect people and
make their lives easier with the help of our
services.
Under the motto Living Responsibility, we focus on
protecting the environment (Go Green), delivering
help (Go Help) and championing education (Got
tech) and support volunteering activities of our
employees (Global Volunteer Day).
Go Green
The transport sector, which also encompasses the
logistics industry, is responsible for 23% of the
world’s energy-related greenhouse gas emissions.
As the world’s largest logistics service provider, we
have a special obligation to minimize the negative
impact of our business on the environment. 

Go Green, our Group-wide environmental


protection program, is how we act on our
responsibility. The main focus of Go Green is to
avoid, reduce and, when necessary, give our
customers the chance to offset, greenhouse gas
emissions (primarily CO2). These emissions
account for the logistics industry's largest negative
impact on the environment. 

The Shared Value proposition plays an important


role in all of our environmental protection
activities. Shared Value means that our
contributions to environmental protection and
society also enhance the success of our business. 

DHL is exploring various measures to reduce its


carbon footprint in India. Additionally, by
supporting local NGOs and social entrepreneurs in
their efforts to provide sustainable energy
solutions primarily to the rural sector, the company
will play a role in reducing the environmental
impact on the community at large.
Go Help
Smart, comprehensive prevention measures and a
state of constant preparedness are absolutely
indispensable to ensuring fast and effective
assistance in the event of a disaster. At the core of
the Group-wide Go Help program is the strategic
disaster management partnership with the United
Nations (UN), which has made Deutsche Post DHL
an important player in the worldwide humanitarian
community. When called upon by the UN, we
support global relief efforts by volunteering our
logistics expertise, our global network and the
personal commitment of our individual employees.

DHL has a Disaster Response Team (DRT) trained


and ready in India, who can provide effective
airport logistics support to humanitarian relief
operations in the country and are now on call 24
hours a day. 

Under the Go Help pillar, DHL also proposes to


collaborate with reputed NGOs, such as Goonj,
Akshaya Patra, Save Life Foundation (SLF),
Sankalp Rehabilitation Trust etc. support to various
causes, for the upliftment of the needy in our
community.
Go Teach
The long-term success, sustainability and
innovative power of our economy and society
depends on a strong educational system and
targeted efforts to develop the next generation of
working professionals. As one of the largest
employers worldwide, Deutsche Post DHL has
established its Group-wide program GoTeach as a
way to improve educational opportunity for young
people and prepare them for the working world.
Through the GoTeach program Deutsche Post DHL
collaborates with established partner: Teach For All
and SOS Children’s Villages. Working together with
partners, our goal is to empower youth from all
socio-economic backgrounds develop their
potential, learn skills and access new opportunities
for their career development.

In India, DHL will look for opportunities to partner


with local NGO partners, such as SOS Children’s
Villages of India, Teach For India (TFI), The
Akshaya Patra Foundation, Safe Life Foundation,
Sankalp Rehabilitation Trust along with others, to
facilitate and improve children and young people’s
access to educational opportunities, employability
and better health.
TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT &
COLLABERATION :
Technology is a fast-paced industry characterized by
constant innovation and short product cycles. It is made
up of large corporations, niche players and up-and-coming
heroes. Competitive markets are the norm, with ever-
falling product prices requiring effective cost management.
With change the only constant, technologies are
converging, sales and distribution channels shifting, and
new markets opening up all the time. Several disruptive
new technologies will further fuel the pace of change. This
is why Technology is one of the focus sectors for DPDHL.

We’re helping technology customers streamline their


supply chains, squeeze out costs, improve CO2 efficiency,
and go to market faster – whether it’s bringing
semiconductors from Asia to Europe in a more efficient
way, consolidating shipments of flat screen TVs from
Poland to Western Europe, or managing complete
inbound to manufacturing supply chains. We’re also
sharing these best practices with other customers to show
how they can achieve further savings. And, as customer
needs change, we’re listening carefully, so we can come
up with proactive solutions. Our focus on the sector at
DHL is really starting to show dividends for our customers.

We recognize that the technology industry encompasses a


diverse range of subsectors – from mobile devices to
network infrastructure, with semiconductors, consumer
electronics and PCs in between – and that the supply
chain requirements of each is distinct. Over the last couple
of years, we’ve been working with customers to
understand and address these specific requirements
better, and now we have fine-tuned propositions tailored to
each subsector.

DHL has a strong footprint in the technology sector, built


on long-term customer relationships, global presence in
mature and emerging markets, and a broad range of
solutions and services delivered by all business units in
the Deutsche Post DHL Group. Add to this our
experienced technology community with proven supply
chain expertise and I think we have a pretty good shot at
realizing our goal to be the logistics provider for the
technology industry.

RECENT MERGES AND AQUISTION


At the time, DHL Worldwide Express had more than 71,000
employees worldwide. A pioneer in global express
shipping, DHL's international network linked over 220
countries and territories. DHL became a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Group in December 2002 after Deutsche
Post acquired the remaining shares from two investment
funds and Japan Airlines.
Deutsche Post acquired the British logistics
company Excel for 5.5 billion euros. At that time,
approximately 111,000 employees worked for Excel in 135
countries. Excel specialized in providing transport and
logistics solutions for key customers. The company
concluded the first half of 2005 with a 55 percent leap in
profits to 172 million pounds (251 million euros).
Deutsche Post took a majority stake in Williams Lea,
a business process outsourcing (BPO) provider specializing
in document management and mail services.
In July 2011, DHL acquired Tag Worldwide, an
international provider of marketing execution and
production services.
In 2017, DHL sold the combined Williams Lea Tag
business to Advent International.
In May 2018, DHL Supply Chain strengthened its
presence in Latin America by acquiring Colombian
logistics company Suppla Group. At the time of the
acquisition, Suppla employed over 4,500 employees in 25
cities of Colombia.

KEY ALLIANCES :
Lufthansa and JAL, cargo powerhouses in their own right,
would finally be able to pierce the higher- yielding, fast-
growing parcel and document market that had always
eluded them. DHL's non-U.S. unit, the biggest component
of the DHL network, would have access to the two carriers'
far-flung international networks, and would be able to
obtain preferential space and rates.Three years later, the
companies, along with Nissho Iwai, a Japanese trading
house also involved in the partnership, still seem to be
feeling their way along. A "synergy committee" made up of
the four companies met in early October in Brussels,
Belgium, and will confer on a regular basis. But as
Joachim Haas, Lufthansa's cargo manager for the
Americas and a member of the synergy committee, put it,
"I have about 100 items still on my list" that have not been
dealt with.

FINANCES

Indeed, most of the action appears to have been on the


financial side. In June 1992, Lufthansa and JAL each
raised their stake in DHL to 25 percent from 5 percent,
while Nissho Iwai tripled its investment to 7.5 percent,
moves that give DHL a fat war chest estimated at $500
million.
Currently, each airline owns 1 percent of DHL Airways,
and Nissho Iwai controls 0.5 percent. Starting in
December 1994, DHL International can buy up to 20
percent of DHL Airways.

From an operating standpoint, events haven't moved


nearly as fast. Lufthansa and DHL have teamed up for a
same-day delivery product in Germany, while DHL leases
space aboard two of Lufthansa's Boeing 737 quick-change
freighters to move its overnight shipments around Europe.
Lufthansa operates the aircraft, but DHL charters a large
portion of the space and controls the night

DHL uses its fleet of Boeing 727 freighters to distribute


JAL's international heavy freight to U.S. destinations.
Beyond that, however, the two companies have done little
as a result of the alliance.
Mr. Foley said the three companies are sharing facilities in
some cities and coordinating administrative functions
when it's appropriate. He also said DHL will lease space in
JAL's new cargo facility at New York's John F. Kennedy
International Airport. The facility is set to open in the
spring.

STATEOFRELATIONSHIPS

Some forwarding executives worry that, in the long run,


their relationships with Lufthansa and JAL will suffer as
DHL assumes a larger role in the two carriers' operations.
"It's always a concern when two companies take a stake in
each other, and that one company may be given
preferential treatment over others that are not involved,"
said Samuel A. Schotsky, senior vice president of
marketing for Lep/Profit International, the U.S. arm of a
British transport concern..

Mr. Smith said the future of the alliance could have a


profound impact on the fate of U.S. companies like Emery
Worldwide, Burlington Air Express and Airborne Express,
companies that fly their own freighters domestically but
mostly operate as freight forwarders internationally.
Should the alliance succeed, he said, other large foreign
carriers may be tempted to try to pick off one of those
companies, he said.

DHL NAME :
DHL: Dalsey Hillblom Lynn

DHL ORIGIN :
Adrian Dalsey, Larry Hillblom and Robert Lynn, three
ambitious businessmen from San Francisco, founded DHL
in 1969.
They initially started by transporting customs documents
by air. As a result, the time taken for customs to process
freight shipments was dramatically reduced. The first
flights tended to be between San Francisco and Honolulu
but the network was later expanded to all corners of the
globe. Since 2013, DHL has been the market-leader with
respect to international express deliveries and logistics.
o DHL was established by Adrian Dalsey, Larry
Hillblom and Robert Lynn in 1969. It started

DHL LOGO :
The DHL logo hasn’t changed that much over its more than 50-
year history. And yet, although it has preserved its basic
structure and style, there’s still certainly been an evolution
regarding the colour scheme and the design of the elements.
Meaning and History logo

the company was established in 1969, its roots can be traced


back to the early 1960s. For the company co-founder Larry
Hillblom, it all started as a job of a courier he did when studying
at university. After he graduated, he started DHL together with
two co-founders.
Today, DHL is a division of the Deutsche Post AG and is
considered the world’s largest logistics company operating
around the world. It earns about €1.5 billion annually.

1969–1983

1983–2002

2002–now

Symbol in 1969-2002

The very structure of the logo has always remained pretty


consistent. The letters “DHL” have been bold to make them
better legible and italicized to add some dynamism. Also,
there’ve always been additional elements to create a sense of
speed.
On the original logo (1969), the company name was white,
while the background was bright red. Each letter was separated
by a white line.
In 1983, the company started its intra-US expansion , which
coincided with the introduction of a new logotype. This time, the
color grew calmer: the bright red was replaced by a muted
darker shade. Also, the color scheme was inverted: the letters
were now dark, while the background was white. There’s every
possibility that this move was supposed to make the logo better
legible without the need to spend so much paint.
In addition to the colors, the designers also slightly altered the
shape of the letters introducing the iconic “D” with an elongated
top. All the letters now consisted of two parts. The three stripes
on both sides helped to create a sense of motion. Also, as the
brand was to be introduced to more and more new customers,
the lettering “Worldwide Express” became part of the logo,
which was to explain the company’s business to those
unfamiliar with the DHL abbreviation.
Emblem since 2002

By 2002, the company was purchased by Deutsche Post and


became its division called Express. The ownership change was
reflected in the introduction of an updated look, which was
developed by Nitsch Design.

The highly customized letters appear to be based on typefaces


from the Frutiger and Minion families.
Colors

The bright yellow and red featured on the DHL logo are close to
Pantone 116 and Pantone 200.

DHL BRAND VALUE :
Brand Finance published an annual report to evaluate
brands based on their value on the market. In 2018 UPS
retains its position as the most valuable logistics brand in
the world, while German DHL places itself in the fourth
position.
DHL TARGETING AUDIENCE :
Differentiating targeting strategy is used by DHL to
understand and strategize its deliverables accordingly. It
has always positioned itself as a company with global
footprint; hence it uses user benefit
based positioning strategy to position itself as a customer-
centric business house.

DHL works closely with the companies in core sectors like


Life Sciences & Healthcare, Technology, Energy,
Automotive and Engineering & Manufacturing. Like in Life
sciences sector only it has 4900 life sciences specialists,
more than 160 pharmacists, Clinical trial depots in 24

chain is what makes its integrated
distribution channel effective & efficient. DHL express
worldwide has more than 255 dedicated aircraft which
cater to more than 3 million customers across the globe

Changing economic scenario, increasing cross-border


business opportunities, changing government regulations,
the opening of economies/ markets for foreign players in
various sectors in the developing nations and increasing
competitions, transportations of short product life cycles/
shelf life are some of the factors affecting the operations of
the companies in this industry.

DHL ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN :


(Leading logistics brand DHL has turned sentimental to
develop a deeper connect with consumers. 
In its ad campaign during the Indian Super League (ISL),
the brand spoke right to the end consumer to highlight
how DHL not only delivers shipments but also delivers joy,
delight and most importantly hope. The brand’s
communication moved from ‘Right place, right time’ during
the 2017 ISL to ‘Where there is a will, we are the way’ in
2018. )
Explaining the insight behind the new approach, Sandeep
Juneja, Vice President - Commercial, DHL Express India,
said, “Today with e-commerce, the consumers are
intricately connected with the shipping experience as they
eagerly await their packages. Our current campaign allows
us to directly connect with the emotions of these e-
commerce consumers.” The brand has taken this
emotional route in a quest to drive a deeper connect with
consumers. 
In fact, DHL is not the only logistics brand to craft
communication around the joy of receiving packages.
FedEx too used the same insight for its September 2018
campaign ‘We deliver possibilities’. Logistics companies
struggle with communicating their brand promise to
consumers because they “don’t have a physical product to
sell. It is a service and thus an experience that we are
selling,” says Juneja. So the approach for a logistics brand
is to convey “imagery of the experience and our brand
promise.”

DHL ADVERTISING APPEAL :


The latest ad campaign during the ISL took a rather
sentimental route. Does the core value proposition of
a brand take a back seat in this content-driven
communication approach that many brands are trying
to use?
If we observe the business that DHL Express is in, we are
delivering emotions with every shipment. When we deliver
important component across many seas, machines can
run and aircrafts fly – thus we deliver Delight. When we
deliver a medical shipment for a patient, we deliver Hope.
When we deliver a gift to someone, we deliver Joy. The
list goes on and on. The campaign is therefore aligned
with our purpose of ‘Connecting people and improving
lives’, and our key message of ‘Excellence, simply
delivered’, remain fundamental to our core proposition. 
We have chosen to emotionalise our brand in order to
develop a deeper connect with consumers. And this is
something we do in reality all the time, when we deliver
shipments and the emotions that are tied to them. This is a
perfect segue in to our latest campaign ‘Where there is a
will, we are the way.’ Our core values of speed, passion,
team work and can-do spirit are also woven in the
campaign. So, we are extending our core proposition in an
emotional approach.  
Today with e-commerce, the consumers are intricately
connected with the shipping experience as they eagerly
await their packages. Our current campaign allows us to
directly connect with the emotions of these e-commerce
consumers. Fact is, in an increasingly globalised world,
where millions of consumers are shopping across borders,
DHL makes the shipping experience superlative – ‘Where
there is a will, we are the way’.  

DHL MARKETING MIX:


DHL Marketing Mix (4Ps) Strategy
Marketing Mix of DHL analyses the brand/company which
covers 4Ps (Product, Price, Place, Promotion) and explains the
DHL marketing strategy. The article elaborates the pricing,
advertising & distribution strategies used by the company.

colour with DHL written over it red colour font. DHL also paints
its logo over its delivery trucks, buildings and packaging
materials. It also pays great deal of attention to brochures,
website, business card etc.
Process:
DHL uses soft trans program to measure the time required for
cargo handling. The information gathered is used to inform the
customer about their freight. Questionnaires are used by the
company to measure the customer satisfaction. Customer visits
and sales reports are recorded through I-sell program. DHL also
has special services for different industries depending on the
industry. High cost is incurred to maintain the customer loyalty
even in case of mistake committed by the customer. This
summarizes the entire DHL marketing mix.
