Environmental responsibility commitments

Emissions reduction and waste minimization are central to DDP’s commitment to reaching carbon neutrality. We are dedicated to lowering our carbon footprint through sustainable practices both in our offices and in our fieldwork. By optimizing office energy use and implementing waste-reduction initiatives, we minimize our impact on the environment. To reduce indirect emissions, we recommend eco-friendly travel options to our staff and actively seek innovative solutions to meet client needs with minimal travel. We promote the use of digital documents and e-signatures to cut down on paper usage and associated waste. Our firm supports and encourages our consultants to lead carbon reduction initiatives within their local communities, making an impact that extends beyond our business. Through these efforts, DDP strives to contribute meaningfully to a more sustainable future.

Social responsibility commitments

Our vision is to be held in the highest regard by our consultants, clients, and the public for our commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) excellence. In accordance with this vision, and drawing on our extensive experience, we advise our clients on how to best approach global health and development from a sustainability perspective. All DDP employees are expected to learn about CSR and are challenged to come up with innovative ways to help their customers and the communities where they live. We strengthen our communities by donating a portion of our profits to good causes each year. By giving our time and creativity to the communities around us, we can further instil our shared ideals and build our ties to one another.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion commitments

DDP is devoted to defending the core values of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). We are a growing firm that is dedicated to incorporating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies and practises across the board. We are confident that this dedication will help us to further develop our organisational framework and company culture, and ultimately improve the quality of the products and services we offer to our business associates.

DDP is committed to creating a workplace that is welcoming and inclusive of people from all walks of life because we know that a diverse team produces better results and better reflects the world in which we live and work. As such, we are dedicated to regularly reviewing our partner ecosystem and internal operations to ensure they are inclusive of our core values and diversity tenets.

‍‍Equity

An integral part of DDP's organisational strategy is combating inequality and creating a workplace where everyone is treated fairly and where everyone has an equal say in decisions, projects, and collaborations. Every day, both internally and in collaboration with external partners, we work to eliminate the inequalities that hinder progress toward a more just and equitable society. To do this, we foster an environment where all employees are given a fair shot, where new ideas are welcomed and where everyone's differences, abilities, and experiences are valued.
