ABOUT JAN KERKHOFF
As Head of Sustainability at DPD Germany, I lead one of the country’s most ambitious decarbonization programs in parcel logistics, with a clear focus on operational impact, cost control and regulatory alignment. What sets me apart is a rare combination: deep operational experience from over 20 years in logistics and a vision for sustainable transformation that is rooted in real business performance.I have led multi-depot clusters, improved cost structures by up to 30 percent, built leadership teams and scaled change across complex operational networks. Today, I use that experience to embed ESG where it matters most: into processes, budgets, infrastructure and culture.My focus areas include:• Translating sustainability into P&L relevant action• Driving efficiency, quality and carbon reduction at scale• Leading transformation with clarity, courage and credibilityI believe the future of logistics leadership belongs to those who can combine business logic, climate strategy and human impact – and turn transformation into competitive advantage.
