About this

Communication on Progress

This Communication on Progress provides a status on PDAid’s
activities within the field of CSR for the period September
2016 to September 2017. Management in close dialogue with
consultants and stakeholders has selected focus areas. The
overall purpose of the report is to provide an informative and
systematic account of PDAid’s CSR activities.

This report includes facts, case descriptions and clarifications
on the fulfillment of our targets and goals. Furthermore, this
Communication on Progress contains detailed descriptions of
our progress within selected focus areas and specific supporting
initiatives, which we consider of great importance to our business
operations.
We have made an effort to integrate information on the SDGs,
applying visual links in the form of icons. As such, we hope to
benefit from acknowledging the links between the SDGs and the
CSR elements covered throughout the report.

This PDAid Communication on Progress 2016-17 is available
for downloading at the PDAid website. A printed version will be
distributed widely among stakeholders. This report was prepared
in cooperation with external experts and consultants, brought
