We are delighted to announce our inaugural ESG Volunteer Day on September 11th, featuring an enriching program of hands-on volunteer workshops in the morning, followed by a networking lunch and an insightful conference on cutting-edge ESG topics.

Recognizing the challenges organizations face in implementing meaningful ESG initiatives, our committee has developed this comprehensive volunteer day specifically for our member companies' employees. Through strategic partnerships with leading NGOs and community organizations, we've curated a selection of high-impact volunteer opportunities that create tangible social, economic, and environmental value. Employees can choose from various workshops that align with their interests and your organization's ESG objectives

Our 5 ESG Workshop Opportunities:

Social Help with DanChurchAid / Folkekirkens Nødhjælp

1. Join DanChurchAid's textile sustainability program at their Albertslund facility, where you'll contribute to their circular economy efforts by helping sort and process donated clothing for their retail operations. This workshop can accommodate 15 volunteers. You can read more about the shops here.

2. Support DanChurchAid's innovative Wefood locations in either Nørrebro or Amager. Volunteers will engage in essential retail operations, including inventory management, store preparation, and customer engagement. Each location can host 3 volunteers.
