15、spiration has always been to continue delivering reliably even in volatile times.We managed this once again in 2022:in times of war,inflation and an energy crisis,Deutsche Post DHL Group stayed the course in remarkable fashion.This was made possible by our broad and well-balanced portfolio of intern
16、ational logistics services,which makes us resilient in the challenging environment.Our Strategy 2025 has bolstered us and equipped us for external crises:it safeguards our focus on the profitable core business as well as our status as an employer,provider and investment of choice.We achieved outstan
17、ding results again in 2022:thanks to our strong international business,revenue improved to 94.4 billion,and Group EBIT reached a new record mark of 8.4 billion.Accordingly,our financial position is also strong.It enables us,among other things,to expand our share buy-back programme by up to 1 billion
18、.As such,the total volume has been increased to up to 3 billion through to the end of 2024.Of course,even we are not immune to macroeconomic developments:in the fourth quarter of 2022,we felt the impact of the slowing global economy.Nevertheless,we continue to look ahead with optimism.Our earnings p
19、rojection of 6.0 billion to 7.0 billion for the current financial year makes it clear that the Group will be able to maintain its earnings at a new level even in a phase of weaker economic Delivering reliably even in volatile times has always been our aspiration.Frank AppelWe have demonstrated many
20、times over that we can respond flexibly to challenges,and we see the best conditions for further growth in the coming years.Deutsche Post DHL Group 2022 Annual Report4EDITORIALgrowth.We have demonstrated many times over that we can respond flexibly to challenges,and we see the best conditions for fu
21、rther growth in the coming years.Our around 600,000 employees around the world are the foundation of our success.I would like to express my thanks to them in particular.Especially in an operational business like ours,it is our people who make the difference,which is why we are dedicated to ensuring
22、a motivating,safe and inclusive working environment.I am pleased that,in 2022,DHL Express was named the best workplace worldwide for the second consecutive year in the Great Place to Work annual list.In addition,Deutsche Post DHL Group as a whole received the distinction as a Top Employer in Europe
23、at the beginning of 2023 for the first time.This honour was bestowed due to,amongst other factors,the importance of ethics and integrity in all divisions.For us,business success also means that we make a positive contribution to the world with sustainable actions and a dedication to society and the
24、environment.With our ESG Roadmap,we pursue ambitious and measurable targets for climate-friendly logistics as well as for social responsibility and corporate governance.These are also reflected in the remuneration of the Board of Management and executives.Amongst other measures,we will invest a tota
25、l of up to 7 billion through 2030 to significantly reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and thereby actively contribute to limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.We made further progress on this journey in the year under review.Here are a few examples:We nearly doubled additional expenditure
26、for decarbonisation measures compared to the previous year,and in doing so avoided around one million tonnes of CO2e.After thorough examination,the independent Science Based Targets Initiative(SBTi)officially confirmed that our targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are aligned with the most rec
27、ent climate science findings.With GoGreen Plus,our customers can make a conscious decision for sustainable transport solutions or the use of sustainable fuels.We are a pioneer in the industry with our dedication to the environment,and we take on this role with full conviction because climate change
28、remains one of the greatest threats facing humanity.Finally,after more than 15 years as CEO,I would like to take this opportunity to thank you,dear Shareholders,for your trust and support.With effect from 4 May 2023,Iwill pass on responsibility for our company to the skilled hands of my successor,To
29、bias Meyer.I am confident that Deutsche Post DHL Group will continue to be successful under his guidance.Sincerely yours,Frank AppelChief Executive OfficerFor us,business success also means that we make a positive contribution to the world with sustainable actions and a dedication to society and the

57、gular basis.Necessary measures were taken swiftly and the Supervisory Board was kept up to date regarding the implementation of these measures.The members of the Supervisory Board were involved early on in all decisions of material importance.Attendance at plenary and committee meetings as well as i

66、2022 Annual Report9REPORT OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARDFinancial and Audit Committee was a welcome development in the talks.The intention to convene the 2023 Annual General Meeting as an in-person meeting was also positively received by the investors.Key topics addressed in plenary meetingsDiscussions in
67、 all plenary meetings involved the companys financial position and business performance as well as reports on committee meetings.The Supervisory Board discussed both the risks and opportunities for the company associated with environmental,social and governance(ESG)aspects,as well as the environment
68、al and social impact of the companys own operations.The implementation of the sustainability strategy and the targets set regarding CO2 emissions,the reduction of the lost time injury frequency rate,increasing the share of women in executive positions and employee engagement values,as well as streng
69、thening the compliance standards,were additional significant topics in the year under review.In March 2022,we discussed the annual and consolidated financial statements,including the management report and the non-financial statement.Following the report by the auditor regarding the findings of the a
70、udit,we approved the financial statements at the recommendation of the Finance and Audit Committee.We concurred with the Board of Managements proposed resolution on the appropriation of the net retained profit.As successor to Ken Allen,who retired at the end of July 2022 after many years as a member
71、 of the Board of Management,we appointed Pablo Ciano to the Board of Management on the basis of the candidate interviews as the member responsible for eCommerce Solutions effective from 1 August 2022 to 31 July 2025 and determined the content of his employment contract.The Customer Solutions&Innovat
72、ion function was transferred to the responsibility of John Pearson.In the same meeting,we discussed the updated finance strategy and approved the withdrawal of up to 50 million shares which will be bought back as part of the current share buy-back programme and not used for other purposes.Approval o
73、f the remuneration report,the report of the Supervisory Board to the Annual General Meeting and the proposed resolutions on the agenda items of the Annual General Meeting,including the election of Luise Hlscher and Stefan B.Wintels to the Supervisory Board for a four-year term,were also the subject
74、of the meeting in March,as well as the determination of the annual bonus of Board of Management members on the basis of the degree of target achievement and corresponding recommendations of the Executive Committee.In the meeting in June,we discussed the reports from the committees and the report on
75、the situation of the Group and the divisions,and focused on the organisation and the challenges of Corporate Procurement.In September,we approved the acquisition of a Dutch company which operates in the e-commerce fulfilment sector and offers its customers the integration of online platforms and web
76、 shops for logistics services.Without the presence of the Board of Management,we discussed at length the effectiveness and efficiency of our activities in the plenary meetings and in the committees.The subject of our discussion included collaboration with the members of the Board of Management,colla
77、boration within the Supervisory Board,the skills profile of the Supervisory Board,the work in the committees and the strategic direction of the company.The latter was discussed in particular against the backdrop of growth opportunities,dealing with digitalisation and innovation,the state of IT and c
78、ontingency planning.We concluded that the Supervisory Board performs its monitoring and advisory duties properly.In our final Supervisory Board meeting of the year in December,we approved the Groups business plan for 2023 after intense discussion and defined the annual bonus targets for the Board of
79、 Management members.We also addressed the Declaration of Conformity with recommendations of the German Corporate Governance Code during this meeting.Key topics addressed in committee meetingsThe six committees of the Supervisory Board prepare the discussions and decisions to be made in the plenary m
80、eetings.They have also been tasked with taking the final decisions regarding a few matters,including approval for property transactions and secondary activities of Board of Management members or non-audit services to be provided by the auditor.Each of the committee chairs reports extensively in the
81、plenary meetings on the work of the committees.The composition of the committees is outlined in the Annual Corporate Governance Statement.The Executive Committee met four times and dealt mainly with Board of Management issues.In addition to succession planning,these included in particular the discus
82、sion of the remuneration report,approval of secondary activities,the assessment of target achievement for the previous year and the target agreements for the following year.The Personnel Committee held four meetings.Discussions focused on keeping employees safe during the pandemic,promoting women to
83、 executive positions,the Group-wide corporate strategy on personnel development,recruiting and retaining talented individuals and the development of their skills in light of the shortage of skilled workers.Deutsche Post DHL Group 2022 Annual Report10REPORT OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARDThe Finance and Aud
84、it Committee met eight times.It examined the financial statements and the combined management report for the company and the Group.The committee also discussed the half-yearly financial report following the review by the auditor and the quarterly financial statements with the CEO,the Board member fo

88、ive market segments and the implementation of our Strategy 2025,as well as the acquisition and sale of equity investments.In addition,the committee deals with the companys strategy with regard to ESG aspects and their implementation in detail and on an ongoing basis.The Nomination Committee,which is
89、 comprised exclusively of shareholder representatives,held two meetings.Following in-depth deliberation regarding the available candidates for the Supervisory Board,the committee proposed Luise Hlscher in March to succeed Jrg Kukies who stepped down on 9 March 2022 on the Supervisory Board based on
90、the skills profile it had defined.In December,the committee recommended Katrin Suder to the Supervisory Board to succeed Katja Windt as well as the reappointment of Mario Daberkow,each for a period of four years.Moreover,the committee recommended to declare to the Annual General Meeting that,in the
91、estimation of the Supervisory Board,there are no personal and business relationships between Katrin Suder and Mario Daberkow,who have been proposed for appointment to the Super visory Board,and Deutsche Post AG or its Group companies,the executive bodies of Deutsche Post AG or a shareholder holding
92、a material interest in Deutsche Post AG that an objective shareholder would consider decisive for their vote.The Mediation Committee did not meet in the year under review.Support of the members of the Supervisory BoardThe company supports the members of the Supervisory Board in their activities on a
93、n ongoing basis.Newly elected members of the Supervisory Board receive a customised introduction in the form of individual meetings with the members of the Board of Management and the Chair of the Supervisory Board;additional measures include the provision of informational materials,access to a digi

95、are offered.These provide Super-visory Board members with an in-depth look at operational workflows and conditions on the ground.Directors Day,which takes place twice per year,also enables the members of the Supervisory Board to deepen their understanding of current topics and developments which are
96、 relevant to the company.In 2022,the agenda comprised the topic of data analytics at Deutsche Post DHL Group,an additional presentation on the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act(Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz),the EU Taxonomy and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive(CSRD).Change

225、ry frequency rate(LTIFR)per 200,000 working hours and share of valid compliance-relevant training certificates in middle and upper management.Targets and results for these key performance indicators are described in the Non-financial statement.Additional metrics that we will report beginning in 2023
226、 are described and forecast in the Expected developments,opportunities and risks section.EBIT and EAC(EBIT after asset charge)The profitability of the Groups operating divisions is mea-sured as profit from operating activities(EBIT).EBIT after asset charge(EAC)is another key performance indicator us
227、ed by the Group.EAC is calculated by subtracting the asset charge,a cost-of-capital component,from EBIT.Making the asset charge a part of business decisions encourages the efficient use of resources and ensures that our operational business is geared towards increasing value sustainably whilst impro
228、ving cash flow.The asset charge is calculated on the basis of the weighted average cost of capital,or WACC,which is defined as the weighted average net cost of interest-bearing liabilities and equity,taking into account company-specific risk factors in accordance with the Capital Asset Pricing Model
229、.A standard WACC of 8.5%is applied across the divisions.That figure also represents the minimum target for projects and investments within the Group.The WACC is generally reviewed once annually on the basis of the current situation on the financial markets.To ensure better comparability of the asset
230、 charge with previous figures,in 2022 the WACC used here was maintained at a constant level compared with the previous years.The asset charge is calculated each month so that fluctuations in the net asset base can also be taken into account during the year.The Calculations graphic shows the composit
231、ion of the Groups net asset base.Free cash flow facilitates liquidity managementAlong with EBIT and EAC,cash flow is another key perfor-mance metric used by Group management.The goal is to maintain sufficient liquidity to cover all of the Groups financial obligations from debt repayment and dividend
232、s,in addition to meeting payment commitments arising from the Groups operations and investments.Cash flow is calculated using the cash flow statement.Operating cash flow(OCF)includes all items that are related directly to operating value creation.Another key parameter impacting OCF is net working ca
233、pital.Effective management of net working capital is an important way for the Group to improve cash flow in the short to medium term.Free cash flow(FCF)is a management indicator derived from OCF.It is used as an indicator of how much cash is available to the company for paying out dividends or repay
234、ing debt at the end of a reporting period.Deutsche Post DHL Group 2022 Annual Report26COMBINED MANAGEMENT REPORTGENERAL INFORMATIONCalculationsRevenue Other operating income Changes in inventories and work performed and capitalised Materials expense Staff costs Depreciation,amortisation and impairme

241、fossil fuels,in order to mitigate the impact of our operations on the global climate.As planned,we introduced new key performance indicators in the year under review:the absolute logistics-related GHG emissions as a medium-and long-term target and Realised Decarbonisation Effects.We use the latter K
242、PI to measure the emissions that we were able to avoid through the use of energy from renewable sources and sustainable technologies compared with conventional energy and technologies.The calculation methodology for GHG emissions is based on recognised international standards such as the Greenhouse
243、Gas Protocol,DIN EN 16258 and the Global Logistics Emissions Council Framework.For Realised Decarbonisation Effects,we also take the guidelines of the Smart Freight Centre for insetting and emissions calculation from sustainable aviation fuels into account.As part of our reporting,we show the logist
244、ics-related GHG emissions including the upstream chain from fuel production(well-to-wheel)and include the GHG emissions caused or avoided by our transport subcontractors(Scope3).We record the GHG emissions from categories3,4 and 6 in the calculation of Scope 3 emissions.The legally required blending
245、 of sustainable fuels is not included in the Realised Decarbonisation Effects.Employee engagement as a factor for successMotivated and committed employees contribute to the success of the company.In the annual Group-wide survey,all employees have the opportunity to anonymously rate the companys stra
246、tegy and values as well as its working conditions.We derive the Employee Engagement key performance indicator from these results.Increase share of women in middle and upper managementWe use the performance indicator of share of women in middle and upper management to measure the success of our diver
247、sity measures.As part of this measurement,executives working part-time are counted on a per-person basis.Reduce LTIFRWe measure the effect of workplace accidents based on the lost time injury frequency rate(LTIFR),which is determined using the number of work-related accidents per 200,000working hour
248、s which lead to at least one day of missed work for the affected person following the accident.Conduct compliance-relevant trainingOur aspiration is to be a reliable and trustworthy partner in all business relationships.When conducting day-to-day business,our managers serve an important function as
249、role models to the employees and business partners,which is why corresponding training is of such importance for executives.We measure success in this area on the basis of the share of valid training certificates at the middle and upper management levels.Deutsche Post DHL Group 2022 Annual Report28C

256、oup generated EBIT of 8.4 billion.In light of a tense macroeconomic environment,the divisions were faced with a variety of influencing factors.Declining shipment volumes caused results in the Express,eCommerce Solutions and Post&Parcel Germany divisions to fall below prior-year figures,whilst revenu
257、e increases in Supply Chain and,in particular,in Global Forwarding,Freight resulted in significant profit growth.The decrease of free cash flow to 3.1 billion was due in particular to the acquisition of the Hillebrand Group.Free cash flow excluding acquisitions and divestitures rose to a record figu
258、re of 4.6 billion.We also support future growth in the core business in a challenging macroeconomic environment with investments of 4.1 billion.Economic parametersThe following data describing the economic conditions stem from S&P Global Market Intelligence(S&P Global,formerly IHS Markit).Global eco
259、nomy experiences decline due to energy crisis and inflationThe nascent post-pandemic global economic recovery suffered a marked decline in 2022 due to the fallout from the war in Ukraine.The economic sanctions of Western countries against Russia triggered by this event,the halt to most Russian natur
260、al gas deliveries to Europe and the severe curtailment of Ukrainian grain exports to the world have boosted inflation in many countries.Leading central banks like the US Federal Reserve and the European Central Deutsche Post DHL Group 2022 Annual Report29COMBINED MANAGEMENT REPORTREPORT ON ECONOMIC
261、POSITIONBank tightened monetary policy substantially from mid-2022 onwards in order to prevent high energy and food prices from leading to a sustained boost to general inflation expectations.Global GDP growth has halved from 6.0%in 2021 to 3.0%in 2022.Growth in advanced industrialised countries decl
262、ined from 5.4%to 2.6%,whilst growth in emerging markets fell from 7.1%to 3.5%.The main contributors to this decline were the United States with a drop in GDP growth from 5.9%to 2.0%and China with a decline from 8.4%to 2.8%.Chinas economy was hit additionally by the consequences of its zero-COVID pol
263、icy.The below-average recovery in the eurozone in 2021(5.3%)limited the degree of moderation,leading to a growth pace of 3.4%in 2022.This was especially true for Germany,where average GDP growth slowed down from 2.6%to 1.9%.Trade flows reflect global economic cool-downGlobal industrial production,wh
264、ich is relevant for the logistics sector,reflects the overall economic cool-down:Following growth of 7.4%in 2021,this figure weakened over the course of 2022 to 2.9%.Global trade also underwent less significant growth in the year under review at 6.8%,compared with 10.8%in the previous year.For Deuts
265、che Post DHL Group,this slowdown in industrial demand manifests itself in the revenue and earnings trends of the DHL divisions during the year.Whilst global trade was still relatively well supported at the beginning of the year,the growth trend slowed with increasing clarity over the course of the y
266、ear.Accordingly,on account of lessened demand and increased inventories,the typical seasonal rise in volumes in the second half of the year was not visible in ocean freight nor in air freight.At the same time,the restrictions in place during the pandemic gradually cleared up in the ocean freight fle
267、ets as well as in cargo capacities in passenger flights.In light of this,the market capacities for transport services which had been very heavily utilised until then eased,resulting in the expected normalisation in air,ocean and road freight rates in the second half of 2022.E-commerce normalises at
268、a high levelAs expected,2022 was also shaped by a normalisation of consumer behaviour.Compared with the prior-year growth,which was significantly accelerated by the pandemic,e-commerce-based volumes thus declined,in particular in the first half of 2022.However,the remainder of the year confirmed tha
269、t the pandemic caused a sustained acceleration of the structural growth trend in e-commerce-based business.Although consumer behaviour was held back by continued high inflation during the Christmas season,e-commerce-based volumes remained significantly above pre-pandemic levels.Legal environmentIn v
