In 2009, data was collected on fuel consumption among the subcontractors who transport cargo for DSV’s Road Division on European roads every day. Altogether, data relating to more than 11,000 trucks has been collected.
In 2009, the average diesel consumption of DSV’s own trucks and those owned by subcontractors showed a signif- icant improvement on 2008. Due to the direct connection between fuel consumption of trucks and the discharge of CO2, the carbon emissions in terms of grams per kilometre driven in connection with DSV road transport have also been reduced. This can be seen from the figure below. The main reasons for the positive development are the renewal of the fleet of trucks to improve fuel efficiency and contin- ued focus among subcontractors on the fuel consumptions of trucks. 0 20 40 60 80 100 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009

Staff
StAFF tuRnoVER
2009 was also a year with major staff changes. Hence, staff turnover increased considerably in 2009, mainly caused by the integration of ABX LOGISTICS (ABX). Conse- quently, the Group’s total staff has been reduced by approx. 20% since the integration of ABX in October 2008. This is the reason for the extraordinarily high staff turnover in 2009, the total staff turnover increasing to 33.5%.
The number of employees was adjusted not only as a consequence of the integration of ABX, but also due to the global economic decline.
The largest decrease was seen in the Road Division, par- ticularly among the hourly workers of the Division. The Air & Sea Division also recorded a significant drop, which was due in part to the gradual transfer of activities to the other two Divisions of the Group over the year.
The DSV Management acknowledges the constant focus on reducing the rate of industrial accidents at DSV and urges everybody to continue the good efforts.

SEnioRity
Seniority was last measured by DSV in 2007. As a conse- quence of the integration of ABX and the global economic downturn, the number of new employees is lower com- pared with previous periods. This is obvious from the table below as the proportion of employees with a seniority of less than one year dropped from 24% in 2007 to 13% in 2009. At the same time, the proportion of employees with more than 10 years’ seniority increased from 20% in 2007 to almost 25% in 2009.
