Project Commitment to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

INTRODUCTION

Sustainability is one of DKSH’s five company values. The organization acknowledges its environmental, social, and economic impacts and integrates sustainability as a focal point in its corporate strategy. This initiative is overseen by the Board of Directors, ensuring accountability at the highest governance level. DKSH aims for each of its business units to adopt a proactive and competitive stance toward sustainability, driving initiatives that align with their overall corporate goals while contributing positively to society and the environment.

FRAMEWORK AND STRATEGY

DKSH aligns its social impact initiatives with a clear corporate purpose, embedding sustainability goals that create meaningful local impact. Every business unit operates annual CSR initiatives and each one is allocated a specific budget to maximize outreach. These efforts contribute to the overarching global theme of fostering local community development and are reinforced by business unit themes, focusing on essential areas like access to food, healthcare, education, science, promoting healthy nutrition and educational opportunities for children.

For instance, DKSH’s CSR activities include significant corporate volunteering, in-kind donations at fair value, and direct financial contributions such as cash donations. Through these diverse efforts, DKSH emphasizes sustainable support for communities across markets, enhancing both local welfare and positive social impact.

ACHIEVEMENT AND IMPACT

DKSH China’s business units prioritize sustainable contributions in their operations. DKSH Technology advances carbon neutrality goals by providing comprehensive solutions for essential electric vehicle components. DKSH Performance Materials fosters environmentally responsible business practices by promoting sustainability products and expanding partnerships with eco-friendly suppliers. DKSH Consumer Goods actively supports communities by donating food and products to NGOs in Hong Kong and expanding its green product offerings through valued partnerships.

DKSH China also actively demonstrates corporate social responsibility through strategic partnerships and impactful initiatives across various regions. In collaboration with the Shanghai Foreign Investment Association (SHFIA), DKSH organized a special event where volunteers distributed goodie bags to honor the contributions of Shanghai’s sanitation workers. Additionally, DKSH contributed RMB 50,000 for birthday cakes to support disabled individuals in Xinjiang and partnered with the Hainan World United Charity Foundation to donate RMB 50,000 toward the "Potato for Lunch" charity, a poverty alleviation initiative.

FUTURE DIRECTION

In the future, DKSH aims to deepen its social impact at the local level by implementing a structured roadmap that aligns with the DKSH Social Impact Strategy. This roadmap includes a strategic budget plan for FY 2025.

Each initiative is designed to be closely tracked to measure its impact and effectiveness, ensuring that all efforts align with DKSH’s sustainability and community objectives. Additionally, continuous engagement with the DKSH Group Sustainability team will further strengthen these initiatives, providing guidance and support for sustained impact to drive impactful change across communities.
