"Connecting People, Improving Lives" is Deutsche Post DHL Group's purpose and constantly guides our effort to become exemplary corporate citizens. Throughout this global health crisis, our logistics services and worldwide network have played a critical role, also in saving lives – whether it is by sending emergency medical equipment and supplies to healthcare workers, delivering essential goods to our private customers, or finding solutions to help companies continue their operations under challenging circumstances. We are also instrumental in supporting immunization programs across the world, and to date have delivered two billion vaccine doses to over 175 countries. Against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic, Deutsche Post DHL Group business operations have been continuously adapted to mitigate potential impacts. As a globally operating company, epidemic and pandemic risk scenarios are an integral part of our continuous risk planning. The Group follows a holistic management process that enables our business units to ensure the best possible services for our customers, even in an emergency. The safety of our employees and our customers is paramount. In order to closely monitor and manage the coronavirus outbreak, in early 2020 we established a Deutsche Post DHL Group coronavirus task force, led by the Group’s CEO. The Group’s task force coordinates with international organizations (such as the WHO, CDC, ECDC and Robert Koch Institute) and provides the necessary information and guidance to our employees and all our relevant operations. The Group’s task force * meets weekly and updates top management on current developments * ensures that our organizations in all countries we operate in follow the protocols of the official authorities, be that international organizations or local country health authority advisories * discusses and approves measures as the situation unfolds * facilitates cross-divisional knowledge and best-practice sharing -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Employees Our number one priority is the well-being of our employees and customers. We follow all official recommendations, and we are committed to responding to the call for cohesion and solidarity to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and work towards an end to the pandemic. Our Group Business Continuity Policy offers global guidelines for our operations in over 220 countries and territories. Every day, everywhere, to stop the spread of the disease: * We promote a "Safety First" approach * We encourage flexible work arrangements, adapted to different roles * We constantly monitor and update our guidance on global business travel * We issue detailed guidance and strict regulations for our employees on meetings, trainings, events, and receiving visitors at our company facilities In addition, each business unit has developed and internally communicated additional measures addressing the needs of each country, as well as division-specific requirements. We keep our employees regularly updated on all developments related to the pandemic via our internal media channels, as well as via our local management teams. We share the latest information as it becomes available. As a globally operating company with approximately 570,000 employees in over 220 countries and territories worldwide, we ensure our country organizations operate in accordance with the protocols of the official authorities, be that international organizations or local country health authority advisories. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operations * Throughout the pandemic, we have ensured we can keep our operations running by implementing the Group's coronavirus task force coordinates the implementation of our accurate and tailor-made Business Continuity Planning and applies it to local conditions, as well as monitoring the situation and responding immediately if necessary. * Each of Deutsche Post DHL Group’s divisions manages its operations to ensure, to the extent possible, that we provide an undisrupted service to our customers. * Operational updates in specific countries are communicated on a country-by-country basis and by the respective business unit. If you need further specific detail about the current operational status in your country or for a specific DHL business unit, please contact your account manager or customer service representative. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FAQ EVERY DAY, EVERYWHERE, WORKING TO STOP THE SPREAD OF THE DISEASE * What is Deutsche Post DHL Group doing to protect employees? Is it safe for couriers to still be working? The safety and well-being of all of our employees is paramount to us and we are introducing several measures at a local level to safeguard our employees against infection. Hand and scanner sanitization is being performed as often as necessary. If local health authorities or local DHL management have instructed the use of masks and/or gloves, then they will be used as instructed. We are also advising couriers who share vehicles that keys, locks and vehicle controls that are touched by hand also be sanitized. * Can the virus be transmitted via my package/Shipment? Has someone with the virus come into contact with my shipment? According to the WHO and the Robert Koch Institute, there is no conclusive evidence that an infection with any type of coronavirus is possible through contact with objects or packages, including those arriving from areas where cases have been reported. In addition, we are encouraging our workers and couriers to sanitize regularly and after each customer contact. * Are there any concrete preventive measures which employees must follow, particularly delivery staff? Our operating procedures and precautionary measures are based on the recommendations and protocols of official authorities, both international organizations and local country health authority advisories, whichever sets the strictest rules. Aligned with World Health Organization (WHO) and Robert Koch Institute, we recommend good hygiene habits, correct coughing etiquette and keeping social distance. For regions and operational sites with confirmed or suspected Covid-19 cases, we coordinate our procedures with the relevant health authorities and follow the recommendations of the official health advisories. * Are you still hiring employees and how is the application and onboarding process working in current times? Deutsche Post DHL Group continues to fill vacancies according to demand. Maintaining supply chains and delivering letters and parcels is essential in the current situation to secure supplies in Germany. Our employees make an enormous contribution to this every day with their tireless efforts. The application process at Deutsche Post DHL Group has basically not changed. We are currently increasingly conducting virtual job interviews and have had very positive experiences with them. We are adapting the induction of new colleagues to the current situation depending on their job profile. SHIPPING INTERNATIONAL AND DOMESTIC * Can Deutsche Post DHL Group ensure service levels to critical suppliers in, at least, countries where we operate and have "Mission Critical" or "essential service" status? "Critical supplier", "mission critical" or "essential service" are not a globally aligned terms with worldwide aligned rights or obligations during a crisis. Hence, in the absence of an international definition and alignment, we cannot guarantee this at a global level. Even in countries where we do have a special status, we cannot prevent local authorities stopping parts of our business (if new regulations are developed to mitigate COVID-19 at local level). The situation changes very rapidly, and we are adapting as the situation unfolds. Besides any formal status of our own operations, the circumstances (e.g. closed borders, long waiting time at customs, limited transport capacity) put limitations to our business Nevertheless, we are fully committed to do our utmost to maintain all operations to the extent possible, and so far, at a global level, we continue serving our customers. * Where can I find out more about current restrictions (legal & customs, shipping capacity) in international shipping? In this fluid situation, we are putting every effort in keeping our customers and other partners updated to our best knowledge.

DHL Global Forwarding reserves the right to modify all or part of its air freight services, to change its working procedures and the agreed rates, to charge surcharges or otherwise to take measures to adjust its business operations and obligations towards customers to the then prevailing circumstances arising as a consequence due to outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID -19). * Do you see any capacity restrictions in Ocean Freight, similar to the current situation in Air Freight? In DHL Global Forwarding, we do see equipment and capacity restrictions on some lanes in Ocean Freight, and we are proactively monitoring and managing the situation to ensure business continuity for our customers. * Is it currently possible to use Rail freight between CN and Europe?

Wherever possible, advanced route planning allows us to identify vehicles/drivers arriving from cross border locations and to implement protocols to minimize cross border driver contact such as drop trailer and driver loading/unloading segregation.
