DACHSER India: Best Organization Supporting Women Empowerment 2021

On March 19, 2021, the fourth edition of the Indian Business Women Awards was held virtually with COVID protocols in place. In this edition of the awards conference, participants came together to discuss various key topics such as “Survive, Revive, and Thrive Post-Covid Era”, “The Art of Adaptability”, and “Best Leadership Distinction”.

With the goal of educating, motivating, and challenging Indian women to lead change in their lives, communities, and the world, the Indian Business Women Awards recognized 28 award categories this year. Organizers invited participants from various organizations to nominate leading members and groups for these awards to celebrate and inspire women’s empowerment initiatives across India.

Nominees and participants came from a diverse range of professions, including various accomplished women representing the upper echelons of fields ranging from armed forces, business, pharmaceutical research and development, IT, and more.

Giving opportunities for women especially in leadership positions

DACHSER India was nominated in the category “Best Organization Supporting Women Empowerment 2021”. DACHSER India submitted a detailed case study of the company’s rising proportion of women representatives, especially in leadership positions. The study reveals this exceptional growth to be the result of a fair and gender-neutral hiring process and strong worker retention rates driven by a management approach that takes an active and leading role in cultivating an inclusive working environment.

After reviewing case studies from the various nominees, the panel announced DACHSER India as the winner of the “Best Organization Supporting Women Empowerment 2021” award. The panel recognized DACHSER India’s strong track record in providing flexible work policies, maintaining the absence of glass ceilings, supporting holistic development of all employees, and proactively ensuring all employees are heard.

 

Huned Gandhi, DACHSER’s Managing Director of Air & Sea Logistics Indian Subcontinent, accepted the award on behalf of the company through a video message relay.

“Congratulations to the empowered women at DACHSER for their significant contributions towards the success of the company”, he commended.

“Women at DACHSER are today involved in strategic decision making and work closely with our customers to provide logistics solutions to help them manage their global supply chains efficiently.”

The award represents a proud moment for all employees, especially the women, of DACHSER India who have been the pillars of the company’s success. It also affirms DACHSER India’s continued commitment to actively promoting gender equality in the workplace.

In order to contain the spread of Covid-19 virus, Government of India and authorities have enforced a three week ban with effect from midnight of 24 March 2020, which prevents all entries from Europe into, in addition to the already existing entry ban for visitors from several Asian countries. All offices and non-essential services will remain closed during this period.All DACHSER offices will remain close down during this period, until any further notice.

  • Other freighter operators like QR, EK, TK, CX etc. may soon follow suit, please check at your end for any import dispatches into India
  • Flights within India will also be stopped Mar 25 onwards until Mar 31

Sea:

  • There is a shortage of truck drivers and due to the curfew all transport is at a standstill
  • At Nhava Sheva port, except very limited import shipment which are essential supplies such as medication, no vehicles are being allowed in or out, so basically no import and export container movements taking place since this March 24
  • CFS labour did not report to work, goods vehicles could not move freely as such all activities - stuffing & de-stuffing at CFS' is at a standstill
  • Empty container depots are not working and combined with lack of trucks, no export pickups are possible.
  • The above may turn out to be the case in all other ports and ICDs in India in the next couple of days
  • Various associations have represented to the government to make sure the working of the CFS is not hampered as supplies like pharma and food stuff need to be imported for the country
  • All the vessels with the last port of call from China, Italy, Iran, Republic of  Korea, France, Spain,  Germany, UAE, Qatar, Oman and Kuwait to be quarantined for a period of 14 days from last port of call before they can be accepted at Kolkata Port Trust (KoPT)

Customs:

  • While documents can be filed online, any cargo requiring physical check before import or export is not possible due to travel restrictions and lack of both customs and brokerage staff.

Domestic:

  • All transportation services (air, road and rail) remains suspended across India, hence we are unable to provide any local transportation or CHA services until further notice
