In 2009, we paid salaries worth over €13 billion to our employees. This comes as

the result o being one o the world’s largest private employers (or statistics onemployees by region and by employee group, see the Perormance section and

Deutsche Post DHL Annual Reports). As we employ people across a worldwide

network, thousands o local communities, amilies and businesses depend on

these salaries. And this money, once spent by our employees, keeps on working

due to the multiplier eect*.

txs

We paid over €339 million in income taxes in 2009. These income taxes,

together with other taxes, are paid to national and local authorities, helping to

fnance important transport and social inrastructure, public programs andother public services.

We touch a signifcant part o global trade through our extensive logistics and

transportation network. This could include anything rom the precisely timed

delivery o parts to the assembly lines o an automobile manuacturer, to

delivering a product brochure to a potential customer’s home, or shipping a

parcel or an internet retailer.

In addition to this global view, there is a very local aspect to our business. In

many countries, Deutsche Post DHL services are indispensible or small andmedium-sized businesses, oering them a dependable solution or transporting

their products and delivering their documents.

Our services open up new opportunities or businesses, enabling them to

explore new markets and to generate additional revenues. By helping our

customers to be successul, we make it more likely that they can continue to

oer jobs to their employees, generate tax revenues or social programs, and

contribute to economic and social development.

*The concept that an initial amount o

spending – in this case through the

wages paid to Deutsche Post DHL

employees – leads to additional

spending on goods and servicespurchased, and so results in an increase

in national income greater than the

initial amount.

In 2009, the Group centrally purchased goods and services with a total value o

approximately €7.7 billion. These purchases ranged rom aircrat, vehicles andtelecommunications services, to smaller items such as ofce paper and toner cartridges or

printers.

We also purchased a wide variety o goods and services locally in the countries and

territories where we operate. Taken together, this considerable spend has

an appreciable impact on many businesses – both small and large – around

the world.

In 2007 we implemented a Supplier Code o Conduct to encourage our suppliers to meet

ethical and environmental standards. It has applied to all new contracts since 2008. As most

o our contracts run or one year, the vast majority are operating under this ramework

today.

In the 2009 fnancial year, we paid a dividend o €725 million or 2008 to our shareholders.

This money is generated by the business, distributed to shareholders and then recirculated

through the economy.
