Further changes in management at Deutsche Post

Posted by | Sep 29, 2006 | |

Deutsche Post, the German postal service operator, is reported to be planning changes to the second and third level of management in its business with letters at the beginning of October. The company itself has refused to comment; industry experts say that it is reacting to increasing competition in this sector.

The top level of management is not expected to be affected, although Hans-Dieter Petram, the member of the management board who is responsible for this area of business, is said to be training Jurgen Gerdes, the second highest-ranking manager in this division, as his potential successor. Mr Petram’s contract is due to expire in November 2007.

Deutsche Post World Net seeks patent for GoGreen

Posted by | Sep 26, 2006 | |

Deutsche Post World Net has filed for a patent for its GoGreen concept. The aim of the concept is to offer carbon-neutral shipping for DHL products for business and private customers, in order to cut CO 2 emissions. All CO 2 emissions generated in the transportation of GoGreen small parcels and packages are first calculated and then compensated for in the system. This compensation can be achieved through environmental protection projects and activities. As part of its environmental efforts, Deutsche Post World Net has introduced a system of carbon management within the Group. The system is comparable to the credit and debit system in financial banking; this carbon management process tracks the CO 2 emissions of GoGreen packages offsetting them against environmental protection projects.
