DACHSER Americas continues to be highly women-driven

According to a recent study by the technological research and consulting company Gartner, 39% of the supply chain and logistics workforce in North America is female. DACHSER Americas is well above the industry average with a 55% share of women among all employees in the region.

55% of DACHSER's employees in the Americas are female.

The study by Gartner is currently the most representative study in this field and has analyzed the share of women and men workforce in supply chain and logistics organizations. Numbers are based on data from March and April 2022, collected among supply chain organizations primarily in North America and with a minimum annual revenue of $100 million.

At DACHSER Americas, past data proves a long-term commitment towards an equal and diverse workforce. Data from 2021 indicates an almost identical share of women and men across the Americas region in comparison to today, March 2023. For the company’s U.S. subsidiary, data collected in 2019 and today also show identical values. Here, a total share of 56% of employees continue to be women. In the other country organizations of DACHSER Americas, percentage ranges are on a similar level. In Brazil, another large subsidiary of DACHSER in the region, the female workforce comprises 58%.

“With its global presence, DACHSER embraces diversity in various aspects, including gender. Here, we are pleased to send a positive message across the whole industry”, says Ralph Riehl, Managing Director Air & Sea Logistics Americas. “We are fully aware that achieving gender equality is crucial to support mutual tolerance and understanding across our organization.”

Equality as a core value

Equality has always been deeply rooted in the philosophy of DACHSER, which has been family-owned since its foundation more than 90 years ago. This is also indicated in one of the six corporate DACHSER values, “openness and respect”. With a presence in 42 countries, the success of the company is built on multiple backgrounds and experiences and on a strong appreciation for cultural differences. The same is also valid for DACHSER in the Americas region, where 25 offices are spread across six countries in North and South America. Working closely together, offices are located in the U.S., Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Peru.

Brexit deal agreed - customs administration from 01.01.2021

On 24.12.2020, an agreement on future cooperation and trade was reached between the EU and the UK.

An essential point is that between EU and UK for goods deliveries from both areas no customs duties are to be levied. However, this does not mean that the administrative "customs clearance" will be eliminated. This means that all documents and customs relevant information must be submitted by the customer in advance and only after the shipment has been released by the customs team of DACHSER, the shipment can be accepted for dispatch.

Please note that from 01.01.2021 this applies to all shipments between the EU and UK, only shipments from the EU to Northern Ireland are excluded. In particular, proof of preferential origin of goods should be provided. The most important necessary information for exporters and importers can be found in the document below.

Lockdown in Shanghai: impact on operational activities

Due to the COVID-19 restrictions in China, there is an impact on international air and sea freight traffic as well as the domestic transport sector.

Overview

  • Due to the increasing number of COVID-19 cases in Shanghai, the city will be locked down starting 5 a.m. Monday, March 28, 2022 in order to contain the spread of the pandemic.
  • A lockdown will be carried out in two phases: From March 28 until April 1, restrictions will apply to Pudong, the eastern side of Shanghai, and from April 1 to April 5, the same restrictions will apply to Puxi, the western side of the city.
  • During the lockdown period, measures will be taken, including massive COVID-19 testing, suspension of public transport, shutdown of stores, halting production and business activities, and employees will only be allowed to work from home.

Impact on logistics

  • Air and sea ports remain open and operational.
  • Shortage of manpower remains an issue in all sectors due to strict quarantine regulations, especially for freight-related personnel, who have to present a 48-hours negative test report when entering highways, warehouses and ports.
  • For air freight, the lockdown impacts the PVG gateway for both import and export. The import Gateway is operational and flights continue to land at the airport. Export flights out of PVG are restricted, the export Gateway is closed and handover is suspended. DACHSER is working on planning new flight schedules through alternative airports. The restrictions are expected to last for 7-14 days. Land transport is restricted as well.
  • For sea freight, DACHSER has not yet received any carrier announcements about vessel delays or cancellations. Cargo arrived at CFS within the Pudong area is not affected, but shipments could be delayed due to potential vessel changes or insufficient cargo for consolidation. FCL trucks are allowed to enter Pudong and the port area with a 48-hours negative test report and an electronic Equipment Interchange Receipt (EIR). LTL trucking is yet to have any development.
  • Trucking between Shanghai and neighbouring cities is restricted to drivers who can present a 48-hours negative test report. Delays in pickups and deliveries are expected.
  • Customs operations are currently reported normal with no interruption.
  • DACHSER's locations in Shanghai, including the downtown office and the PVG Airport office, have implemented a work-from-home policy since March 21, while the Huaqiao Warehouse remains open but loading and pickup is restricted. You can reach your local contact through the usual communication channels.

Local representatives at DACHSER will be happy to provide information about shipments and possible alternatives.
