We have set ambitious targets for  and beyond. I would like to outline three of
the most important here.
First of all, we aim to be not only the biggest, but also the best company in our
industry. To make this happen, we launched the First Choice program in order to
focus our business even more on our customers and commit all our employees to
this goal.
Secondly, we aim to consolidate our express activities. Quality is also an important
driver of this business. On the intensely competitive US market, the personal touch
is key in every single customer contact. In addition, we are continuing to expand our
network infrastructure. One milestone in this eort will be the commissioning of
the European air hub in Leipzig.
And thirdly, aer acquiring numerous companies in recent years, we plan to focus
on organic growth and attracting new customers in the future.
Our company was successful in . And as you know, we like to share our success.
I will therefore propose a dividend of . per share to you at the Annual General
Meeting in May, a full . above last year’s already healthy dividend.
Sustainable business practices are also a key part of our Group’s strategy. Our Code
of Conduct, which was introduced throughout the Group in the past year, stipulates
important guidelines for conduct for our approximately , employees around
the globe. And you hold an example of our sustainable approach to business in your
hand: is annual report is the rst we have printed entirely on recycled paper.
I would like to thank all those who believe in our strengths and assure you that in the
coming year we will again make every eort to increase the quality of our services
and sustain the value of your investment.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Klaus Zumwinkel
Chairman of the Board of Management
