German publisher Holtzbrink buys twelve units of insolvent PIN Group

Posted by | Sep 29, 2008 | |

Georg von Holtzbrinck has bought major parts of the insolvent mail company PIN Group in a deal making it one of Deutsche Post’s biggest competitors, according to various media reports.

The insolvency administrator of PIN Holding, Bruno M. Kübler, said that the sale to Holtzbrinck will help preserve a considerable part of PIN’s network but did not reveal any financial details. The transaction is pending regulatory approval by the Federal Cartel Office (FCO), which is considered rather a formality.

In total, Holtzbrink has taken over twelve units of the troubled PIN Group with a 100 pct stake in six PIN companies and a major stake in the remaining six. It acquired PIN Mail in Berlin, eight PIN units in Brandenburg, Freiburg-based Arriva as well as Main-Post Logistik and Main-Sorter-Service in Wuerzburg. These units are located in the metropolitan area of Berlin, in the five states in the former German Democratic Republic, in Lower Franconia which is one of Bavaria’s administrative regions, and the metropolitan area of Freiburg.

The acquired companies employ a total of 2,500 workers. In the meantime, Kuebler is reportedly in negotiations with potential investors to buy the remaining 20 units, which count 1,200 workers.

Deutsche Post World Net ranked No. 1 logistics company in climate protection

Posted by | Sep 25, 2008 | |

The Group is the only transport and logistics service provider to be included in the Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index. The index lists 67 companies from the Global 500 Index that have stood out for their exemplary contributions to climate protection.

The CDLI is compiled by the auditing company PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) on behalf of the CDP – a joint initiative of 385 globally active institutional investors with combined investment assets of more than USD 57 trillion.

The CDLI and the CDP’s annual report are based on a broad survey in which companies are asked about their carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions as well as their concrete CO2 reduction targets and climate protection strategies. Just fewer than 400 of the Global 500 companies took part in the 2008 survey. In addition to the CDLI inclusion, Deutsche Post World Net also had its listing in the FTSE4Good Index Series confirmed.

The company’s CO2 efficiency – including externally sourced transport services – is to be improved by an additional 30 percent by 2020. This means that CO2 emissions per letter posted, per tonne shipped and per square meter of used space are to decline by just under one-third compared with 2007.
