CEO Statement<br />
Profitability built on sustainable business model<br />
Despite the economic gloom and uncertainty, the <strong>Panalpina</strong> Group emerged from <strong>2011</strong><br />
with its market position strengthened. Our strategic orientation towards profitability,<br />
underpinned by our business model, has already proved its worth. But it is nonetheless<br />
set to encounter fresh challenges in the future.<br />
All aspects of <strong>Panalpina</strong>’s operations are guided by the<br />
principle of sustainable development. To progressively<br />
strengthen the welfare of our company, the environment<br />
and the population at large, equal weight is given to social,<br />
economic and ecological criteria in the evaluation of strategies,<br />
projects and innovations. Overall, this offers the<br />
best means for <strong>Panalpina</strong> to honor its obligations towards<br />
shareholders, employees, suppliers, customers and the<br />
general public.<br />

Sound business operations<br />
The foundation for accepting broader responsibility is laid by<br />
entrepreneurial success. Solid business performance and<br />
the efficient deployment of corporate resources are crucial<br />
to unlocking creative freedoms and meeting the varying<br />
demands of the Company’s different stakeholders. In today’s<br />
global logistics and forwarding markets, simply delivering<br />
the right goods to the right place at the right time no longer<br />
suffices for long-term success.
