responsibility for society. For DHL Corporate Citizenship is showing their
company’s commitment with activities in key areas with programs such as GoHelp

Citizenship network since 2014. They record their corporate citizenship
activities based on LBG criteria and make them quantifiable. They continually
strive to improve the scope and quality of the data they collect. Being a
member of the Corporate Citizenship network helps DHL ensure sustainability in
their business operations. Since they have to update their activities, it is a
way for them to implement programs for corporate citizenship. Moreover, DHL is
inclined to having community outreach programs focused on instilling the spirit
of volunteerism among DPDHL Group employees and calls this the Global Volunteer
Day. This event encourages the employees to devote time and effort to create a
positive impact in their communities. DHL implements this event annually which
bundles global volunteerism and supports the sustainability strategy to serve
the company’s economic interest.
