DHL Lebanon achieves record result in security audit

DHL Express, Lebanon achieved the prestigious TAPA security certification.

TAPA, the Transported Asset Protection Association is a professional association of high-tech industries, freight forwarders, integrators and consultants promoting higher security standards in the international shipping and air cargo industry. Certification is awarded only after a rigorous and detailed evaluation of freight security systems and procedures by independent auditors.

In achieving this accolade with a score of 99.42 pct, the highest in the region, DHL breaks its own previous TAPA certification of 98.86 pct previously held in the UAE, the highest among DHL facilities in Eastern Europe, Middle East & Africa (EEMEA).

“It is heartening to see the regional facilities of DHL continuing to set new benchmarks for the industry. DHL Express recognise that providing customers with a secure supply chain is critical to business effectiveness as well as our reputation as the world’s leading express and logistics solutions provider. The TAPA certification endorses our stringent security standards and adds improved value to the services we provide locally and globally,” said John Chedid, Country Manager, DHL Lebanon.

DHL now has 16 TAPA certified facilities in the region. The company has been investing substantially in human resources, state-of-the-art technology and infrastructure to secure the supply chain to the complete satisfaction of customers. The global security policies followed by Deutsche Post World Net (DPWN), the parent company of DHL, including security training for staff and state of the art security measures at all facilities, have assisted in the regional facilities regularly qualifying for TAPA certifications.
