德國郵政敦豪集團的空運和海運專家 DHL Global Forwarding宣布，全球的水技術公司 Xylem 已選擇 DHL Global Forwarding 作為其主要物流供應商，通過其企業社會責任計劃 Xylem 提供人道主義活動水印。兩家跨國公司將攜手合作，利用他們在全球的豐富經驗和足跡，為那些在與水有關的自然災害和危機之后最需要援助的地區提供援助。

  “我們很高興正式宣布與 Xylem Watermark 的合作伙伴關系，以繼續幫助我們利用靈活的物流知識和廣泛的足跡來應對全球災難，”美國 DHL 全球貨運公司執行官大衛戈德伯格說。“自然災害的影響和緊迫性越來越明顯，我們期待與 Xylem Watermark 合作，在最需要的地方快速高效地部署設備和援助。”

  Xylem 高級副總裁兼營銷官兼 Xylem Watermark Joe Vesey 表示：“這種伙伴關系帶來了強大的能力組合，可在自然災害來襲時幫助社區應對水危機。” “我們帶來了可以應對洪水泛濫或恢復安全、清潔飲用水的技術。但我們的技術只有在快速到達那里時才會有所幫助。DHL 的作用對于使我們的水解決方案在人道主義危機中發揮重要作用至關重要。”

  DHL Global Forwarding 和 Xylem Watermark 此前曾聯手在危機時期為社區提供服務。在津巴布韋颶風 Idai 過后，DHL Global Forwarding 和 Xylem Watermark 合作將脫水泵從印度經南非運送到受影響的社區。此外，賽萊默人員在地面部署的賽萊默設備從香港運往津巴布韋奇馬尼馬尼地區，為一個容納200名流離失所居民的營地和一個每天為近10,000名患者提供服務的農村醫療診所提供清潔水，減少了水的擴散傳播疾病，如急性呼吸道感染、瘧疾、腹瀉和霍亂。

  DHL Global Forwarding 和 Xylem Watermark 也在 2019 年印度季風之后共同努力，他們合作為救濟營地的 227,000 名流離失所者提供人道主義援助。他們一起快速協調響應，將物流響應時間縮短了 60%。作為協同努力的一部分，Xylem Watermark 和 DHL Global Forwarding 將飲用水清潔水系統和脫水泵從約翰內斯堡運送到印度卡納塔克邦的戰略要地，每天為多達 76,000 名居民提供清潔水。此外，該地區的五所學校通過過濾和太陽能泵獲得了清潔的飲用水，使 5,000 多名學生受益。

  Xylem Watermark 與 DHL Global Forwarding 之間合作伙伴關系的商業擴展鞏固了兩家公司正在進行的人道主義工作，利用 DHL 和 Xylem Watermark 在幫助支持全球面臨嚴峻危機的社區的恢復工作方面的經驗。

  DHL Global Forwarding, the air and ocean freight specialist of Deutsche Post DHL Group, announced today that leading b water technology company, Xylem, has chosen DHL Global Forwarding as their primary logistics provider for humanitarian relief activities delivered through its corporate social responsibility program, Xylem Watermark. The two b companies will work together and leverage their extensive experience and footprint across the globe to bring aid to those areas that need it most following water-related natural disasters and crises.

  “We are excited to officially announce our newest partnership with Xylem Watermark to continue to help with our resilient logistics expertise and extensive footprint to respond to disasters around the globe,” said David Goldberg, CEO, DHL Global Forwarding, US. “The impact and urgency of natural disasters is increasingly evident, and we are looking forward to working with Xylem Watermark on deploying equipment and aid on the ground, quickly and efficiently, where needed most.”

  “This partnership brings a potent combination of capabilities to help communities deal with water crises when natural disasters strike,” said Joe Vesey, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at Xylem, and Chair of Xylem Watermark. “We bring the technologies that can deal with the inundation of flood waters, or the restoration of safe, clean drinking water. But our technology only helps if it gets there quickly. DHL’s role is essential to making our water solutions matter in a humanitarian crisis.”

  DHL Global Forwarding and Xylem Watermark have previously joined forces to provide disaster relief to communities in times of crisis. In the aftermath of Cyclone Idai, in Zimbabwe, DHL Global Forwarding and Xylem Watermark worked together to freight dewatering pumps from India through South Africa to the affected communities. In addition, the shipment of Xylem equipment from Hong Kong to Zimbabwe’s Chimanimani region which Xylem personnel deployed, on the ground, provided clean water to a camp housing 200 displaced residents and a rural medical clinic serving nearly 10,000 patients daily, reducing the proliferation of water borne diseases such as ARI, malaria, diarrhea and cholera.

  DHL Global Forwarding and Xylem Watermark also united efforts following India’s 2019 Monsoon, when they partnered to provide humanitarian assistance to 227,000 displaced individuals in relief camps. Together, they quickly coordinated responses, decreasing logistics response times by up to 60%. As part of the coordinated efforts, Xylem Watermark and DHL Global Forwarding transported potable clean water systems and dewatering pumps from Johannesburg to strategic bs in India’s Karnataka state, supplying clean water for up to 76,000 residents daily. Additionally, five schools in the region received clean drinking water through filtration and solar pumping, benefitting over 5,000 students.
