I. Introduction
DHL Supply Chain is the global leader in supply chain management, providing customer‐focused solutions to a wide range of industries. Its comprehensive range of innovative logistics solutions encompasses the complete supply chain from design and consulting through warehousing and distribution services to integrated information management and e‐commerce support. DHL Supply Chain is diversified and comprised of several operating units, across multiple regions, and competencies.
Today’s businesses are reliant on their supply chains being fully operational – no matter what. Yet as supply chains become leaner, more complex and global they face an increasing risk of disruption. That’s why it’s critical to prepare for unforeseen events so your business can operate fully, regardless of what disaster may strike.
Unpredictable events can include:
• Natural disasters, including tsunamis, earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, adverse
weather, floods, hurricanes, heavy snow and ice
• Social issues and political unrest, such as war, terrorism, riots, pandemics, industrial action
• Operational risks including power outages and unplanned IT or telecommunications outages
