Community engagement

At DSV, we are committed being a positive partner for the communities in which we do business. We do this through a combination of global partnerships and local initiatives. 

Making an impact across the world 
We are engaged in various local initiatives tailored to meet specific community needs. Our local engagement varies from country to country, but is always aligned with our sustainability priorities and commitments. Our freight forwarding expertise and local knowledge enables us to provide essential support during emergencies, offering transportation and warehousing solutions among others.

Partnering to deliver essential supplies to children worldwide
Through our strategic partnership with UNICEF, we are committed to providing rapid emergency responses and strengthening global supply chains. DSV supports UNICEF by offering free flights for the swift delivery of essential supplies during emergencies, along with flexible funding to ensure timely support for children worldwide. As part of this partnership, we will leverage our industry expertise to collaborate with UNICEF in strengthening supply chains, with a regional focus on Latin America, to improve children’s access to vital goods and services.

The partnership is based on three pillars:

• In-kind air transport to secure rapid delivery of critical supplies for children and their families during emergencies

• Strengthening national supply chains in selected countries in Latin America to improve children’s access to vital goods and services

• Providing flexible funding to help children worldwide and support where needs are most pressing.

In 2024, DSV provided in-kind transportation of essential supplies to children and families in Myanmar, Southern Lebanon, Honduras, and Somalia.

Employee engagement
By taking local action in support of our global sustainability priorities, many DSV employees across the world actively contribute to making our strategy come to life and make a difference. They are dedicating their personal efforts, ideas, and time to help local communities deal with environmental or social challenges. Through their dedication, a wide variety of local initiatives are taken, including fighting waste pollution, recovery activities following natural disasters, supporting school programs and improving reforestation.
