Our mail, express and logistics services promote sustainable economic development by:
- Helping millions of customers to trade and to increase their sales
- Working with businesses to lower their costs and help them to remain competitive, for example by:
- Lowering inventory levels using just-in-time logistics, or the outsourcing of logistics. Outsourced logistics benefit our customers by offering more competitive cost structures and improved value added
- Facilitating trade and commerce which generates employment, reduces poverty, raises standards of living, and helps to build strong and stable communities
