Corporate Social Responsibility

It’s part of who we are

Being a socially responsible company means that we, the #peopleofdelaware, try to leave the world a little better than we found it. Why is that so important to us?

Our identity, our personality, our DNA – whatever you may want to call it – is what makes delaware ‘delaware’. It is an overview of why we exist, what makes us different, how we conduct ourselves as an organization and the attributes we look for in our employees. This identity has become a living part of so many aspects of our day-to-day work, and it greatly influences our interactions with customers, colleagues and the environment.

In other words: We care. That is why Corporate Social Responsibility is so important to us. It is part of who we are.

How are we creating positive ripple effects?

Our colleagues volunteer for the Fund Isaan organization, a non-profit in Thailand. We install computer classes in rural schools and teach English classes in cooperation with the local teachers.

By donating recycled laptops during the COVID-19 outbreak, we’ve tried to help out the less privileged youngsters closer to home, so they have the necessary equipment to take part in online classes.

Every year, delaware is present at many job fairs to attract new talents to join the #peopleofdelaware. Instead of spending money on gadgets, we decided to take on a different, more sustainable approach. A big thanks to all students for donating!

Additional proceeds from our WeCare2Move initiative went to the Kinderkankerfonds (which supports children who suffer from cancer) and to non-profit organization Zorg-Saam, a group of residential care centers for the elderly. With our donations, Zorg-Saam bought videophones, to make sure every resident can connect with their loved ones.

All proceeds from our Benefit Concerts went to Kom op tegen Kanker and Beautiful After Breast Cancer, two charities that focus on the research, prevention and treatment of (breast) cancer.

The #peopleofdelaware like to move! With our WeCare2Move initiative, we have collected more than €30,000 by walking, biking, hiking, rollerblading… you name it! Thanks to our support, the Belgian Food Banks could provide approximately 270.000 meals to people who need it the most.

Everybody contributes

Today, our dream stands stronger than ever. At delaware, we launch plenty of initiatives to motivate and inspire our employees to be the best possible versions of themselves.

The delaware Academy offers intense training programs and bootcamps
Employee wellbeing is one of our top priorities
Our Diversity & Inclusion task force aims to make sure that all #peopleofdelaware feel they belong
Our renewed mobility policy allows our consultants to go from A to B in the greenest way possible (yay for electric cars!)
And much more!

We are motivated to continue our work towards sustainability. We truly believe that everybody at delaware can contribute. But we’re only just getting started!

realizing a dream for today, tomorrow and succeeding generations is not something you do overnight, and we knew our responsibility goes beyond taking care of our own company. That’s why CSR has become a vital part of our identity and our strategy
