The awarding of the Social Responsibility Leader – Good Company 2011 title confirms DHL Express’s position as a solid company sensitive to the needs of its environment, while simultaneously demonstrating the attitude of a good employer and a reliable partner in business relations.
For many years, DHL Express has actively supported CSR activities and participated in nationwide and local projects, often acting as both their initiator and implementer. Some of these have been noticed and even appreciated by the public. DHL Express has been distinguished several times in the “Company Close to the Environment” competition and was one of three finalists from Poland for the First European CSR Award in 2008. For three years, in line with its global CSR strategy, the company’s activities have focused on four areas – employees, customers, society, and the environment.
Social Responsibility Leader – Good Company is a nationwide program aimed at identifying leaders in the implementation of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) principles. A specially appointed committee evaluates the degree of companies’ involvement in charitable and sponsorship activities, the policies implemented by the company as an employer, and other positive aspects of its operations, such as commitment to environmental protection, as well as relationships with various groups: customers, employees, and the local community. The program is under the patronage of the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, and it is organized by the editorial board of Forum Biznesu.
