OREANDA-NEWS. Deutsche Post DHL Group has once again been recognized for its corporate sustainability leadership, confirming its place on the leading Dow Jones Sustainability Indices DJSI World and DJSI Europe in 2015.

"This confirmation by the world's leading sustainability indices DJSI World and DJSI Europe underlines that we are on a good way of combining commercial success with responsible business activities," said Deutsche Post DHL Group CEO Frank Appel. "An improved rating demonstrates that we have taken the right measures to increase our sustainability step by step."
