Corporate Social Responsibility as a concept for building lasting and satisfying relationships with all company stakeholders is present in the awareness of most managers. One of the important stakeholders in a knowledge-based economy is the university, along with its academic staff resources, scientific and research knowledge, and its students and graduates. A new academic year has begun, and DACHSER is engaging in cooperation with universities in various areas. On October 1st, it sponsored the inauguration of the 2010/2011 academic year at the Faculty of Management of the University of Lodz, where it has been a member of the Business Council since 2008, and therefore supports all activities aimed at cooperation in the area of the didactic process and the exchange of experience between management theorists and practitioners. The main partner of DACHSER is the Lodz university, because as one of the few players in the logistics operator market in Poland, DACHSER has its headquarters in the Lodz region. This does not prevent the company from engaging in projects in other regions of Poland. DACHSER has also signed a cooperation agreement with the College of Logistics in Poznan to support those studying in the field of logistics and to undertake various forms of interaction between science and business. At the same time, the company became involved in the WSL project – “Greater Poland must know,” co-financed by the European Union and based on a partnership between vocational education and the labor market. DACHSER is also a Gold Sponsor of the 3rd edition of the Logistics Olympiad organized by the College of Logistics in Poznan. Training new staff is of great importance for building modern supply chains. DACHSER’s commitment to the development of logistics personnel is partly an investment in the future.
