We maintain Corporate Representations in Berlin, Brussels, Washington and Beijing, and we publish our expenditures in the Lobby Register of the German Bundestag, in the EU Transparency Register and in the United States.

The Board of Management is the central decision maker on Group-wide sustainability topics, whereas the divisions are responsible for implementation. 30 % of the Board of Management's annual bonus is linked to the achievement of our sustainability targets. The Sustainability Steering Board manages the ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) agenda of DPDHL Group. Composition of the Board: CEO (Chair), CFO, Board Member Human Resources, Executive Vice Presidents Corporate Development, Corporate Communications, Investor Relations and Corporate Accounting & Controlling as well as divisional Business Sustainability Officers. The Operations Board is chaired by the CEO and steers the implementation of environmental topics and related decarbonization measures. The corporate and divisional Clean Operations teams prepare decisions on strategic direction. Because of its member composition, the Operations Board can make effective decisions that can be implemented directly in our operations. With regard to environment, the Operations Board, for example, reviews the development of CO2e emissions and efficiency data, monitors the business units' progress towards achieving targets, and develops climate-change related strategy, policies and programs. The Chief Financial Officer holds overall responsibility over ESG monitoring, controlling and reporting including our internal controls and risk management process. If risks or opportunities are identified, the finance organization is responsible for assessing them and to give recommendations on how to manage them.
