Deutsche Post DHL, the world's leading postal and logistics group, is calling on its employees, customers and partnering non-profit organizations worldwide for its third-ever "Global Volunteer Day". As of this year, the program is no longer limited to projects during the main "Global Volunteer Day" event, which is scheduled to take place between September 5th and 15th, 2013 employees can now include their volunteer activities carried out throughout the entire year. Last year, some 62,000 employees from 120 countries around the world contributed to more than 1,000 "Global Volunteer Day" projects.  

 "This year, much like in past years, we'll be supporting a myriad of different volunteer projects around the world   in many cases, these are community projects that involve our employees directly," explains Christof Ehrhart, Director of Corporate Communications and Corporate Responsibility at Deutsche Post DHL. "This year is special, however. Since many of our approximately 475,000 employees are busy volunteering in projects the whole year through, we decided to honor not only the activities carried out during the official "Global Volunteer Day" week in September but all other volunteer projects carried out by our employees the whole year round. This allows our employees to really put the Group's "Living Responsibility" mission into practice."  Read the full article
