    Deutsche Post DHL

    Deutsche Post DHL became a signatory to the UN Global Compact in June 2006. At that time, we sought to align our internal environmental commitment and approach with key external international standards. Accepting our environmental responsibility continues to be a challenge and opportunity for us as we seek ways to adapt our business processes and culture to addressing the environmental challenges we face today. Our environmental strategy has three pillars: tackling climate change, improving our overall environmental performance, and minimizing our use of natural resources.  more[...]  login_required

    Prof. Hanns Michael Hölz

    Microcredits have proven to be powerful instruments in the fight against poverty. However, they will reach their full impact only if they manage to limit their reliance on the charitable sector. “The genocide brought the destruction of my parents’ retail shop“, Nsengiyma Gilbert from Rwanda explains. “It ended in ruins and in the brutal killing of my father.

  • Danske-Bank-Investing-In-A-Sustainable-Future

    Charlotte Bengt Petersen, Danske Bank Group

    The importance of access to education and learning is underscored in the global human rights that form the foundation for the Principles of the UN Global Compact. Education is a key factor in strengthening an individual’s capabilities and wherewithal, and financial literacy is an essential component in that regard. At the Danske Bank Group, we also believe that financial education and ethical guidelines are the path to personal prosperity and sustainable growth in the future. That is why in 2007 we developed our Financial Literacy Programme, which consists of a number of learning activities for children and young adults from the ages of 5 to 27.  more[...]
