Deutsche Post World Net partnership with UNICEF
As a form of its concern over a large number of children dying of curable or preventable diseases annually worldwide, Deutsche Post World Net is providing support to UNICEF. The humanitarian project is part of its strategic partnership with the institution responsible for the welfare of children.
Through the strategic partnership, Deutsche Post World Net is extending help in the efficient management of complex logistical processes in addition to a range of other contributions, as an in-kind donation to UNICEF which would help reduce child mortality worldwide.
The group has also been working with the UN Development Programme (UNDP) and with the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in the field of disaster management since December 2005. Here too, the Group provides OCHA and UNDP first and foremost with logistics expertise and the know-how and commitment of its staff.
“Our corporate sustainability program is focused around what we do best — organizing complicated logistical operations and ensuring they run smoothly. Our aim is to deliver help,” Deutsche Post World Net said in a statement.
Deutsche Post World Net’s global cooperation with UNICEF started with a project in Kenya and has been extended step-by-step on the basis of experience in the country. Through its logistics subsidiary DHL, Deutsche Post was able to contribute valuable assistance through its logistical support.
