Winning this award for the third year running reflects DHL's
success in working collaboratively with customers to deliver
innovative solutions, which transform their business models in line
with their strategic aspirations. It was the envelope pushing
Pfizer Direct Distribution Model first implemented in Australia,
which caught the judges' eyes this year. DHL Supply Chain
established a direct distribution model for 5,160 pharmacies across
Australia and enabled a next-business-day delivery solution,
effectively enabling Pfizer to promote and market its medicines
directly to customers.

effectively closes the loyalty loop between a business and its'
customers, making these relationships more resilient creating a
significant competitive advantage. "We find that more of our
customers are looking to us not to simply optimize their supply
chains, but to facilitate a transformational step change in their
operations, to secure and grow their market share over others. I'm
proud of the strategic contribution we make to the industry and the
recognition from our peers this award represents. We will
continuously work to develop innovative solutions and deliver
operational excellence to maintain the position of provider of
choice for our customers," said Paul Graham, Chief Executive
Officer, DHL Supply Chain, Asia Pacific.
"Innovation can't be a one-off, we have worked hard to replicate
solutions like the Direct to Market model in all our markets and
even across different sectors, leveraging the experience and
insight of our regional and global teams," said David Christmas,
Senior Vice President of Business Development and Strategy, DHL
Supply Chain, Asia Pacific. He was a panelist at a supply chain
