What are we doing to achieve this?

At DPD social responsibility is firmly anchored in our corporate strategy, and is put into practice every day. To consolidate our activities, a separate DPD Foundation was established in 2016 with the focus on the following initiatives:

• Our DPD Relief Fund supports all members of the DPD family who are in need through no fault of their own.

• Through project funding with Plan International and other partners, we concentrate our worldwide commitment to not-for-profit and charitable projects for the benefit of people in need, promote educational projects for children and young people and support sustainable agriculture.

• Our trainees get involved with children in Africa, Asia and Latin America through the sponsorships of the children's aid organisation Plan International.

• Involvement projects at DPD: Our staff are wholeheartedly committed to social causes and projects every day. We promote this commitment through our involvement projects, such as the "Rest Cent" or "Volunteers' Days" initiatives - read more at: https://dpd-stiftung.de/
