DHL Group aims for 50% revenue growth by 2030

DHL Group has launched “Strategy 2030 – Accelerate Sustainable Growth”, outlining its ambition of 50% revenue growth by 2030 compared to 2023.

It aims to unlock full growth potential through divisional and Group growth initiatives with the Group’s business divisions continuing to focus on their profitable core businesses.

The company will accelerate sustainable growth through the Group growth initiatives with developments in fast-growing geographies and industry sectors, and the rise of e-commerce.

Strategy 2030 also reinforces DHL Group’s commitment to decarbonisation and aims to align legal and management structures to ensure a lean divisional set-up.

Tobias Meyer, CEO of DHL Group, says, “We want to grow faster and more profitably while decarbonising our business. We will fortify our market-leading position in global logistics with a strong focus on quality and on servicing the needs of fast-growing industry segments.”

The strategy of the past five years, “Strategy 2025 – Delivering Excellence in a Digital World” has navigated DHL Group through global challenges including the pandemic, supply chain disruptions and geopolitical tensions.

DHL Group says the logistics sector is changing with geopolitical tensions reshaping trade and companies are working to create more resilient supply chains.

Climate change and demographic shifts in the workforce have added additional complexities.

Sustainability has been integrated into the strategic framework under the name “Green Logistics of Choice”.

DHL Group is supporting customers in decarbonising their supply chains with initiatives including partnerships and increasing the use of sustainable aviation fuel.

Meyer says, “Investing in low emission logistics, which anticipate future market demand, will materialise into a competitive advantage as these transport solutions are becoming increasingly important to our customers.”

To reduce complexity, DHL Group aims to align its complex legal structure with its management structure to reduce complexity and create a more flexible and agile set-up.

The company’s management structure with the Express, Global Forwarding, Supply Chain, eCommerce and Post & Parcel Germany is simple and clear while the legal structure is more complex and overlapping. 

Post & Parcel Germany and eCommerce will be established as standalone corporate entities comparable to other entities with the Deutsche Post name continuing to be used for Post & Parcel Germany activities.

The measure will not change the Group's portfolio, wage and protection agreements, management responsibilities or legal commitments and will take one to two years to implement.
