Organisation aligned with strategic orientation

As announced in the prior year and with effect from 1 January 2008, we unbundled the SERVICES Division, allocated the costs of Global Business Services to the operating units and assigned the retail outlets to the MAIL Division. We now report a more narrowly defined unit, Corporate Center/Other.

On 18 February 2008, the Supervisory Board of Deutsche Post AG appointed Dr Frank Appel as the new chairman of the Board of Management after Dr Klaus Zumwinkel resigned from the Board of Management. Dr Appel had been the Board member in charge of the LOGISTICS Division. His appointment prompted us to reallocate responsibility for the logistics business in the middle of the first quarter and divide it between two Board of Management members. Since that time, Hermann Ude has headed the Global Forwarding and Freight business units, and Bruce Edwards has headed the Supply Chain and Corporate Information Solutions business units.

This new structure reflects the increasing business volume and the different business models: Global Forwarding and Freight engage chiefly in transport services, whilst Supply Chain and Corporate Information Solutions offer customised logistics and communications solutions. We have reported this structure under segment reporting since the second quarter of 2008. We successively reorganised the global and regional organisational structure of the two new Board departments.

In the third quarter, the Pension Service was reallocated from the FINANCIAL SERVICES Division to the mail business. Having agreed to the sale of our subsidiary, Deutsche Postbank, we have reported its activities under “discontinued operations” since the third quarter of 2008. Dr Wolfgang Klein resigned from Deutsche Post’s Board of Management effective 10 November 2008.
