Closer communities

At DPD, we try to be charitable every year, all year round. But December is a special month, so we pay even more attention to charity.

Since deciding who to help in these times is really not easy, we turned to our followers on social networks for help. The response was incredible, so during the campaign we decided to double the donation and divide it between two societies.

With the help of our followers, we therefore chose the Viljem Julijan association and the Heroes of the 3rd floor association and gave each of them €1,000 in donations.

We are happy that we were able to brighten up the holidays for at least someone and we hope that we will be able to repeat a similar campaign in the coming year and dedicate the donation to one of the listed societies and organizations!

At DPD Slovenia, we celebrated Pink October in October 2022 and, as part of the month of the fight against breast cancer, we cooperated with the Europa Donna association, to which we also donated a purchase of pink bows for all employees.

We always encourage our employees to lead a healthy lifestyle. Many studies show a strong connection between a healthy lifestyle and a lower risk of developing breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, which affects up to 1,400 women and around 10 to 15 men in Slovenia annually.

Europa Donna Slovenia thank you for everything you do and for all the reminders of how important self-examination is. Pink October may have really come to an end, but we would still like to emphasize that we need to take care of our health throughout the year and every month.

Exactly one month has passed since the invasion of Ukraine, and for a whole month now, the whole of Europe has been witnessing a great tragedy.

The situation in Ukraine has aroused strong emotions in all of us. The people of Ukraine need help, so many DPDgroup employees have already created individual and joint initiatives that would make people's lives at least a little easier.

Together with them, DPDgroup is showing its support to the people of Ukraine, with a donation of € 1 million to the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement through the French Red Cross and a donation of € 200,000 to the European Federation of Food Banks (FEBA). In addition, each donated € 1 will be matched, euro for euro, up to two hundred thousand additional euros.

With FEBA, we have created a website where everyone who wants to can donate to Ukraine. Click on the following link for support: DPD Grants Page - https://lp.eurofoodbank.org/dpd-donation-page/. You can also constantly monitor how much money we have raised so far on the website.

Donations will not only help in the collection and distribution of food, but also in the financing of charitable organizations that bring aid to the people of Ukraine.

Even though December is extremely busy for us, for four years now, on the initiative of Mrs. Romana from Koper, there has been a festive campaign of gifting children from socially disadvantaged families. Every year, many people with a good heart respond: this year they have collected as many as 50 packages for 50 children!

Our couriers then took care of the delivery of the gifts. Coordinator Jasmin takes care of the whole organization every year, so that the gifts are delivered before Christmas and they are waiting children under the Christmas tree.

Thus, our dwarf helpers bring a little festive joy to many families who can barely make ends meet from month to month, so that even the youngest ones are not left without presents. We are glad to be a part of such heartfelt projects.

We have not forgotten about sports, which are extremely important for health prevention! We recognized the efforts of two sports clubs - the one training football and one training bowling; and decided to become their sponsor. This will help them to participate in the implementation of the sports association's program.
