The DHL Group Retirement Plan is the company-sponsored pension plan for UK employees of DHL; it is financially and legally separate from DHL although we work closely with DHL as the company that supports the scheme.

The Plan is managed by the Trustee – a company called DHL Trustees Ltd – and is made up of 10 directors, four of which are nominated by members, four by the company, and two independent of both. The Trustee is separate from your employer and makes decisions independently.

It is the Trustee’s job to make sure that the Plan is in a robust shape in the interests of its members, in line with regulations and government guidance. We aim to be as open and transparent with our members as possible, so here you can find:

  • Chair’s Statement – our annual statement of how we are performing our duties in relation to DC benefits held in the Plan.
  • Statement of Investment Principles (SIP) – how we decide to invest your money.
  • Implementation Statements –our statements setting out the policies and principles for how investments are governed and any changes over the year, as well as details of voting activity from the investment managers.
  • Security of Assets – our statement on how the Plan’s DC investments are protected.
  • TCFD Reports – the Trustee has produced DB and DC Climate Reports on the Plan’s investments based on the recommendations of the Financial Stability Board’s Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (‘TCFD’).
  • Stewardship Report – our report on how we make sure the Plan’s assets are managed responsibly in order to create sustainable benefits for members, the economy, the environment and society, covering the assets held in its defined benefit sections.
