CSR policy

Children working in chokolate plantations, mobil phones containing minerals deriving from illegal mining, corruption in everyday business - this is just to mention a few of the challenges that Danish companies are facing when they coorporate with international suppliers.

At Develco, we undertake our part of the responsibility and have hence worked out a CSR policy. The policy articulates that Develco acts in a global and environmentally friendly way by paying regard to human rights, labour, our environment, and anti-corruption. 

UN global Compact

Develco is member of the UN Global Compact - a global initiativ lanced in 1999 by Kofi Annan.

The UN Global Compact is a strategic policy initiative for businesses that are committed to aligning their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. By doing so, business, as a primary driver of globalization, can help ensure that markets, commerce, technology and finance advance in ways that benefit economies and societies everywhere.

Overall, the Global Compact pursues two complementary objectives:

1. Mainstream the ten principles in business activities around the world
2. Catalyze actions in support of broader UN goals, including the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)

With these objectives in mind, the Global Compact has shaped an initiative that provides collaborative solutions to the most fundamental challenges facing both business and society. The initiative seeks to combine the best properties of the UN, such as moral authority and convening power, with the private sector’s solution-finding strengths, and the expertise and capacities of a range of key stakeholders. The Global Compact is global and local; private and public; voluntary yet accountable.
