Since we received our first CSR certificate, our CSR policy
has undergone continuous development over the years. We
constantly adapt our approach to business development,
standard requirements and stakeholders’ focus areas. CEO,
Dennis Lundoe Nielsen, is in charge of our CSR policy,
incorporating input from employees, external stakeholders and
external consultants/experts. Thus, our CSR policy is considered
a part of PDAid’s “DNA”. As such is it executed throughout the
value chain by the means of dialogue and contract renewals.

We have presented our guidelines in a Code of Conduct,
intended to function as the primary communication tool for
work conducted with stakeholders. It is fundamental to all our
work regarding processes of due diligence. The PDAid Code of
Conduct is available for download online.
