Anchored in their core belief that global trade should deliver inclusive growth and resilience, DP World's approach has evolved significantly, shifting from traditional philanthropy to initiatives that empower communities and foster lasting change.

Over the past decade, DP World has positively impacted nearly 4.5 million people globally, driven by $99 million in community investments and nearly 200,000 hours volunteered by more than 45,000 dedicated employees. The company's <a href="https://www.dpworld.com/romania/sustainability" target="_blank">“Our World, Our Future”</a> sustainability strategy spans critical areas including education, health, environment, and emergency relief, directly aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Protecting Water: The Lifeblood of Global Trade

Recognizing the critical role water plays in sustaining global trade and community wellbeing, DP World has significantly invested in <a href="https://www.dpworld.com/sustainability/water" target="_blank">Water Access, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)</a> initiatives. Through strategic partnerships, notably with WaterAid, DP World has enhanced clean water access and hygiene standards for thousands of people. 

In Mozambique, the company successfully improved water access for over 5,000 individuals. Additionally, in Bauchi State, Nigeria, DP World is constructing solar-powered water systems to provide 15,000 people with essential clean water services by 2026. These efforts emphasize economically empowering women and youth by engaging them in leadership roles and entrepreneurial activities linked to WASH services.

DP World’s strategic community investments emphasize both women's empowerment and environmental protection. Programs like Barefoot College International’s <a href="https://www.dpworld.com/news/releases/solar-mamas-win-prestigious-award-for-transforming-communities/" target="_blank">'Solar Mamas'</a> initiative illustrate the company’s commitment to social and economic empowerment. Through this initiative, DP World has empowered women in rural areas by training them as solar engineers, enabling them to electrify homes, start businesses, and lead sustainable development initiatives within their communities.

Moreover, DP World actively combats illegal wildlife trafficking through <a href="https://www.dpworld.com/the-smarter-trade-report/we-are-united-for-wildlife" target="_blank">strategic collaborations</a> with organizations like United for Wildlife, reinforcing their dedication to biodiversity protection and ethical environmental stewardship. 

Rapid Response in Times of Crisis 

DP World’s extensive global logistics capabilities play a pivotal role in humanitarian crisis response. As a member of the Logistics Emergency Team (LET), the company collaborates closely with global partners to ensure the efficient delivery of essential humanitarian aid. 

Notably, during the Ukraine crisis, DP World established critical supply chain routes through Romania, ensuring swift and reliable aid distribution. Additionally, DP World’s involvement extends beyond logistics, providing training for humanitarian professionals to improve emergency preparedness and response capabilities worldwide. 

Empowering Communities Through Education

DP World places a strong emphasis on education and youth empowerment, understanding that equipping young people with relevant skills is essential for sustainable economic growth. The launch of the <a href="https://www.dpworld.com/sustainability/education" target="_blank">Global Education Platform</a> in 2023 significantly enhanced access to e-learning resources focused on sustainability, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), logistics, and green skills.

<a href="https://www.nielsen.com/news-center/2025/nielsen-celebrates-2025-global-volunteer-month-and-earth-day/" target="_blank">Originally published on Nielsen News Center</a>

Throughout the month of April, Nielsen employees celebrated Global Volunteer Month with volunteering and environmental activities, culminating with our twelfth annual Earth Day call-to-action on April 24th, 2025.

For the second year in a row, Global Volunteer Month provided an ongoing opportunity for Nielsen to achieve together through community engagement. All employees have 24 hours of annual volunteer time to participate in volunteering events with nonprofit and non-governmental organizations throughout the year, and many Nielsen employees took advantage of this benefit in April.
<figure role="group" class="align-center"><img alt="Nielsen volunteers, Mumbai, India." data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c9835c3b-fc74-49d0-9356-33a5829147ea" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/Global%20Volunteer%20Month_Nielsen_6.18.25A.png" width="640" height="927" loading="lazy" /><figcaption>Mumbai, India</figcaption></figure>790 employees across 26 countries led and participated in optional volunteer and educational events throughout April. Our people volunteered at the Mumbai and Bangalore offices to make seedballs for planting in local forests, participated in river and beach cleanups in Warsaw and the Tampa Bay area, learned to make recycled watering pots in Mexico City, virtually gathered from around the world to learn about zero waste cooking and to reduce our digital trash footprints, and much more.

One of the leaders shared:

“Volunteering unites us around a common goal and powers team-building for our people,” shared Ana Lucía Álvarez Parra, Team Lead for Rich Media LatAm and Cares BRG Leader in Mexico. “It also offers our people opportunities to take on leadership roles. And it’s a fun and rewarding way to break up our regular work routines while creating a shared sense of pride and connection to our community and the Nielsen organization.”

Nielsen Celebrates 2025 Global Volunteer Month and Earth Day

<img alt="two people standing in a forest" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6ff4ee55-deac-4f08-ac01-c4803af03f2b" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/identifies-special-sites_PotlatchDeltic_071625.jpg" width="640" class="align-center" height="1280" loading="lazy" />Sustainable forestry requires a thoughtful balance between responsible resource management and the protection of ecologically, culturally, and historically significant sites. At PotlatchDeltic, foresters combine technology with hands-on expertise to identify and preserve these special places, so that forests remain productive while safeguarding their conservation value.

Some areas within working forests hold unique ecological or cultural importance. These sites may include rare ecosystems, critical wildlife habitats, historic landmarks, and indigenous cultural sites. PotlatchDeltic follows rigorous standards, as required by the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) and Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI®) standards. Identifying and protecting these places requires more than just policy - it takes careful planning, innovative technology, and deep local knowledge.

Before any operational activities begin, foresters follow a robust standard operating procedure, which includes using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to analyze spatial data, overlay habitat and environmental restrictions, and pinpoint areas that require special care. By identifying these areas early, foresters can make informed decisions that balance conservation with responsible land use.

Technology has significantly improved the ability to detect and protect special sites. For example, drone technology has helped foresters locate sensitive wildlife habitats, such as gopher tortoise burrows, that might otherwise go unnoticed. However, technology alone isn’t enough. Engaging with local stakeholders, including indigenous groups and historical societies, adds a crucial layer of insight. These collaborations help verify a site’s cultural and environmental significance.

Once identified, these special sites can become an integral part of PotlatchDeltic’s conservation strategy. Protections are embedded into the company’s GIS database, so that conservation measures can be considered in connection with timber harvesting, road placement, and land-use planning. Foresters carefully tailor conservation efforts to each site’s unique needs. In areas with endangered species, buffer zones are established, and harvest schedules may be adjusted to minimize disturbance. For newly discovered nesting sites, forestry operations may be postponed until the nesting season concludes, so that wildlife populations can remain undisturbed. In riparian zones, best management practices focus on protecting water quality and maintaining habitat conditions for aquatic species.

Training plays a vital role in maintaining these protections. Foresters and contractors are equipped with knowledge and tools that enable them to recognize special places in the course of their field work. Structured environmental management systems bring conservation priorities to the forefront, with automated planning tools that flag restrictions tied to sensitive areas. Annual inspections and compliance monitoring on larger, unique aeras further reinforce these safeguards, so that special places can continue to provide ecological and cultural value over time.

The importance of safeguarding special places has never been greater. By integrating technology, stakeholder engagement, and best management practices, the company takes steps to safeguard critical habitats, historic sites, and high conservation value areas while maintaining a sustainable supply of timber. PotlatchDeltic’s approach demonstrates that sustainable forestry and conservation can coexist.

The annual awards which took place in Dubai last month, celebrate organizations across the UAE that lead the way in nurturing positive work environments, inspiring innovation, and putting their employees at the heart of their success stories.

Family-owned spirits company Bacardi is known for its unique culture and for encouraging diversity of thought in its people. In the UAE, where the team consists of more than 60 people with 15 different nationalities, regular cultural celebrations within the company allow the team to build deeper connections and a better understanding of and respect for each other's heritage and viewpoints.

“At Bacardi, we create an environment where everyone can be appreciated for who they are, what they do and who they can become – this award shows that’s working,” says Claire Palmer, VP, Human Resources for Asia, Middle East &amp; Africa and Global Travel Retail at Bacardi. “Up against some really tough competition, our strong culture, the happiness of our team and the diversity of our talent ensured Bacardi stood out.”

The judging panel recognized Bacardi for its holistic approach to Belonging — not just as a value, but as a leadership imperative – and its focus on every stage of its employees’ time at the company; from attracting values-aligned talent to fostering growth, wellbeing, everyday rituals that create connection, recognition, and lifelong brand ambassadorship.

In 2020, Bacardi <a href="https://www.3blmedia.com/news/bacardi-uae-raises-bar-first-spirits-company-middle-east-be-great-place-work-certifiedtm" target="_blank">became the first spirits company in the Middle East to be certified by Great Place to Work®.</a> Last year, Bacardi globally was recognized by Forbes among <a href="https://www.bacardilimited.com/media/news-archive/forbes-names-bacardi-among-worlds-best-employers-in-2024/" target="_blank">“World’s Best Employers”</a> and <a href="https://www.bacardilimited.com/media/news-archive/bacardi-among-top-companies-for-women-by-forbes-in-2024/" target="_blank">“Top Companies for Women”</a>.

He attributes his early success to his experiences as a youth athlete. And as a new father, he is adamant about spending time with his family outside.

Tyler will help give back to local communities by working with Scotts to launch a nationwide Keep It Real sweepstakes, offering five youth sports nonprofit organizations the chance to win a natural turf field refurbishment and soccer balls signed by Adams.

These grants align with the foundation’s work to create thriving communities and drive meaningful, lasting change.

“As Cleveland’s hometown bank, we take great pride in making transformative investments that provide hope and opportunity for all,” said Kelly Lamirand, KeyBank Cleveland Market President. “We congratulate the organizations that are receiving these grants and look forward to seeing the positive impact this will have on our community.”

Funding will support workforce development and financial education programs at the following organizations:

<a href="https://cleveland.ja.org/" target="_blank">Junior Achievement of Greater Cleveland</a> 
Funds will support educational programming at the organization’s new Experiential Learning Center. This in-classroom component is delivered by a combination of teachers and volunteers to 6th-12th grade students, with a focus on the following topics: income, savings, investing risk, debit and credit, and budgeting. KeyBank will also receive lead naming rights to the JA Finance Park simulation space, including a KeyBank storefront presence to promote banking business and career opportunities at KeyBank.

"The Junior Achievement Experiential Learning Center and JA Finance Park presented by KeyBank will transform how students and young adults learn about important life skills like budgeting, saving, and investing money wisely," said Al DiFranco, President and CEO of Junior Achievement of Greater Cleveland. "We are grateful to the KeyBank Foundation for providing critical resources to help us create an in-classroom and experiential program that will positively impact financial literacy and wellness in our community."

<a href="https://www.towardsemployment.org/" target="_blank">Towards Employment Incorporated</a> 
Funds will support the “Giving Clevelanders a Chance to Advance” program. This capacity-building campaign is aimed at helping Greater Clevelanders escape poverty and achieve economic mobility. This initiative focuses on providing skill development for in-demand jobs, comprehensive support, extended career coaching, and connections to employers.

“This funding makes sure that 4,000 Clevelanders, 60% of whom have justice involvement, have the support they need to successfully connect to rewarding careers while businesses are gaining new talent motivated to succeed,” said Jill Rizika, President &amp; CEO of Towards Employment. “KeyBank, a long-term workforce partner, has provided an investment that lets us deepen Towards Employment’s career pathway services with additional behavioral health, financial literacy, and career coaching support.”

<a href="https://www.buildinghopeinthecity.org/" target="_blank">Building Hope in the City</a> 
Funds will support One World Kitchen which teaches food handling and preparation skills, commercial kitchen management lessons and business training to prepare participants to obtain meaningful employment in the food industry. The first cohort graduated 15 students in February 2025.

“Refugees bring innumerable and needed skills, talents and abilities to our city,” said Brian Upton, Building Hope in the City’s executive director. “Key’s generous partnership in these workforce and employment efforts in Cleveland will result in the launch of new immigrant and minority-owned catering enterprises and food-based businesses over time. This effort will create new opportunities for these new Americans to provide for their families and add to our region’s diverse cultural heritage and future.”

<a href="https://www.gsneo.org/" target="_blank">Girl Scouts of North East Ohio</a> 
Funds will support the Vivian von Gruenigen, MD STEM Center of Excellence on the Daley Family Campus for STEM Innovation at Camp Ledgewood and STEM Learning for All Students program. This programming empowers participants with hands-on, age-appropriate experiences in fields like engineering, computer science, robotics and more.

“The Vivian von Gruenigen, MD STEM Center of Excellence is located in the only Girl Scout camp in the country located in a national park,” said Jane Christyson, CEO of Girl Scouts of North East Ohio. “That is why the theme of the building is ‘making the world a better place through nature inspired design.’ Visitors will come to understand that nature is the best engineer and inventor, and we know they will be inspired to create their own big ideas using STEM technology, showcased in and around the building. We are thrilled and incredibly grateful to the KeyBank Foundation for their amazing investment in our Girl Scouts and the youth in our region! Thanks to their support, we're able to educate and inspire young minds about the exciting world of STEM careers.”

“Each of these organizations do amazing work each day that lifts our community up and helps people from all walks of life grow and succeed,” said Mattie Jones-Hollowell, Corporate Responsibility Officer for KeyBank in Cleveland. “As we celebrate our bicentennial, we are proud to invest in the work they do and provide people in Cleveland with financial education and opportunities to build successful careers.”

Since 2017, KeyBank has invested more than $2 billion in Northeast Ohio supporting affordable housing and community development projects; small business and home lending; and transformative philanthropy.
