Appel: We need more globalization – not less
Speaking at Deutsche Post DHL’s annual general meeting (AGM) today (28 April), CEO Frank Appel told shareholders: “We don’t need less globalization, but more – and we need it now and sustainably.” Appel reasoned: “World trade drives prosperity, and prosperity promotes peace.”
The Deutsche Post DHL head also reported that 2016 had been a “record year” for the group.
“2016 was an excellent year for us and we have a clear idea of what the future of logistics will look like. We are investing in expanding our network and in technology. We are working in a focused and connected way – and we will continue to grow,” said Appel.
“Of all logistics service providers, we have the strongest global presence. We have the widest range of offerings and most extensive experience. We know how logistics works and, as the market leader, we have a clear idea of how our industry can continue to contribute to global prosperity.”
