A New Kid on the Block: DP World! Stay alert! Just a couple of years ago, I found myself at a logistics event talking up the ambitious plans of DP World. One attendee, deep in the freight forwarding game, had no clue who they were. It's understandable; if you aren't involved in specific business areas, this company will likely not be familiar to you 🕵️♂️✨ Yet, to me, DP World is nothing short of a phenomenon. Founded 1993 as a humble port operator, they've sprinted through three decades to emerge as full-scope logistics service providers. Imagine this: they are even lining up to acquire DB Schenker now! Critics may argue, "Well, with the endless coffers of Arabian Sheiks, what's impossible?" But let's be honest – we've all seen tech giants with deep pockets yet struggling to find their footing. 💰💡 Therefore, for me, it's quite a success story. What sets DP World apart? 🚢 🔺 Asset-Fueled Ambition: Beyond owning ports and free economy zones, they're seeking diverse logistics assets. 🔺 Supply Chain Sovereignty: In a concise span, they've begun to carve out their niche as a comprehensive end-to-end supply chain services provider. 🔺 Forward Thinking: They have their freight forwarding network, DF Alliance, and invest heavily in technologies; some say those tech solutions actually work :) 🔺 Aggressive expansion playbook: Recently, they announced plans to open 100 new branches. Moreover, when you arrive at any logistics trade fair, you will likely find either DP or DF there. We can't say anything about their sales and marketing team's efforts, as we haven't trained or consulted them (hopefully, this will materialize in the future), but considering signals from the market, it seems they are doing a decent job. So network, stay alert! A new heavyweight is in town, and it's reshaping the logistics landscape. #Logistics #NewPlayer #Strategy

At the International Organisation of Employers (IOE) Bonn Business and Human Rights Forum, key stakeholders, business practitioners, and organizations engaged in striking Exchanges, reflections, and commitments. Thank you to DHL and BDA | Confederation of German Employers' Associations for co-hosting such an insightful event. Special thanks to Nadia Al-Nashif, the Deputy H.Commissioner human rights,Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Celeste Drake, the ILO Deputy DG, and Luc Triangle, the SG of the International Trade Union organization International Trade Union Confederation - ITUC, for their valuable contributions. It is clear that due diligence is a must for all businesses when preventing and mitigating human rights violations or risks beyond legal requirements. Societal expectations have changed, and being in denial is no longer an option. Fair, certain, and smart regulations, especially for SME companies, are also necessary for policymakers when supporting business engagement in human rights. Incentives should be better implemented, and uncertainty, proliferation of incoherent regulations, and heavy reporting requirements are growing concerns. Also, we need much more collaboration and engagement with and from civil society and international organizations. Building trust to overcome pure confrontation is another must for all. Let's drive positive change towards a sustainable and responsible business environment. #BusinessAndHumanRights #CorporateResponsibility #Collaboration #Sustainability Jason Pegat-Toquet Kinga Dery🌍 Matthias Thorns

DB Schenker Cargo, a key player in the logistics industry, is considering a restructuring aimed at enhancing operational efficiency. This includes outsourcing certain operations, a decision that has raised concerns among its workforce and unions. The fear of job losses, estimated at around 150 positions at the Mainz headquarters, has led to opposition from the works councils and the Railway and Transport Union #EVG, highlighting fears of job insecurity, increased working hours, and disparities in compensation and work conditions. The contemplation of splitting DB Cargo has raised alarms about its potential impacts on service quality, employee stability, and the broader logistics sector. The split could fundamentally transform the company’s structure, stirring debates among stakeholders. On one side, competitors view this as an opportunity to increase their market share, while on the other, employees are anxious about their job security and the future of the company. Amidst these challenges, DB Cargo faces competitive pressures and legal obstacles that hinder its efforts to become more competitive. The company’s restructuring efforts are further complicated by existing labor agreements and potential legal challenges, including EU Commission state aid proceedings. The situation has led to a divided opinion, with protests set for tomorrow and dissatisfaction from within the company, reflecting the complex dynamics at play as DB Cargo strives to navigate its path forward in a competitive landscape.
