Responsible company
As a business, we're acutely aware of the influence we have and the impact we can make. Not just on the lives of our customers and colleagues. But also the communities we're part of and the wider world too. Making that impact a positive one is something we take tremendous pride in. And if you join us, you will too.
GoTeach
Working with two established partners – Teach for All and SOS Children's Villages – GoTeach helps us to give back to the communities we serve in a lasting and meaningful way. Helping children and young people from all socio-economic backgrounds to develop their potential, we offer them the chance to learn skills and access new opportunities for their career development
DHL's Got Heart
Nothing brings people together like a common cause – and DHL’s Got Heart is a perfect example. Shining a light on a wide variety of amazing initiatives around the world, the program is a celebration of the volunteers within DHL who give up their time to help those less fortunate in their local communities.

GoGreen is our group-wide environmental protection program. It focuses on energy efficiency, climate change and the reduction of air pollution. By 2050, our goal is to reduce all of our logistics-related emissions to net zero.
GoHelp
Our GoHelp program taps into the core logistics expertise of our people to provide the United Nations with disaster management support. We now have dedicated Disaster Response Teams (DRTs) based in Panama, Dubai, and Singapore, ready to be deployed wherever they're needed throughout the Americas and the Asia-Pacific region.
Committed team
At DHL, a workforce with different skills, experiences, and viewpoints comes together as one global team. Each one of us is committed to doing our best for our customers. But while we share the same mindset, we're always keen to celebrate the unique contribution each individual brings.

Amongst our many recognition programs, the Employee of the Year Awards stands out. It's our opportunity to celebrate the best of the best; to honor colleagues who have gone above and beyond for the company, Connecting People and Improving Lives for our customers in ways they had never imagined.
Regional Cups
A true celebration of the company's spirit, our Regional Cups are now a legendary part of life at DHL. Bringing together football and cheerleading around the world, they give our people the chance to show off their skills, as well as meet and socialize with colleagues from their region.

Succession planning
Some 83% of all management opportunities at DHL are filled by internal candidates. Why? Because we want everyone who joins DHL to stay with us, grow with us, and enjoy a successful career here. So, wherever possible, we promote from within.
Think ahead
At DHL, we believe the future belongs to those who take what they've learned from today and use it to build a better tomorrow. With that in mind, we actively encourage everyone who works with us – regardless of their role – to create and drive their ideas.
Digitalization
From Blockchain to Big Data and Advanced Robotics to the Internet of Things, we're constantly exploring the potential of all kinds of groundbreaking new technologies. All in a bid to boost our operational efficiencies and transform the DHL experience – for customers and colleagues.

Our Start-up Lab lets employees contribute their suggestions for new business ideas. One successful example is the TRAiLAR project for equipping our trucks and trailers with solar mats that generate power for vehicle electrical systems, reducing their fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions.
Innovation Centers
Our Innovation Centers in Singapore and Bonn inspire customers and colleagues alike. Showcasing the visions, trends and technologies that will define the logistics industry of tomorrow, they are full of ground-breaking ideas that will help us – and our customers – rise to every future challenge.
