called the DKSH Fantree Academy. In 2017, DKSH offered 30 new training modules focusing on essential skills, which attracted three times as many participants as in 2016. 9,000 employees took a training course in 2017 as opposed to 5,500 in 2016. Training is provided by 250 certified training staff. Environment: reducing CO 2 emissions in Vietnam O DKSH Vietnam uses an innovative method to eliminate waste in its healthcare activities. The process considerably reduces CO 2 emissions and has been acknowledged with an award from INSEE Ecocyle, a leading waste management firm in Vietnam. O DKSH Vietnam has installed an LED smart lighting system. The initiative has enabled it to reduce energy consumption by almost 90%, saving around 300 tonnes of CO 2 per year. As a leading player in the development of Asian markets, DKSH also supports the development of local communities through its “Right to Play” foundation, which seeks to harness the energy of play to develop children’s skills. In 2017, the foundation organised three “Play Days”. Activities took place in several locations, each of which welcomed around 100 children on average. The educational activities sought to encourage children to work together, to manage their emotions and to set targets. Each year, the DKSH group makes grants totalling around €400,000 to charitable organisations. Social: putting the emphasis on play with the “Right to Play” foundation

GOVERNANCE DKSH has set up a project team made up of representatives from its main functional departments, i.e. supply chain, legal and compliance, HR, finance and communications. The group has published a code of ethics, which is available on its website. It provides regular anti-corruption training as part of its standard procedures. In 2017, DKSH France received Gold accreditation from EcoVadis, which gives companies an overall score based on four social responsibility themes, i.e. environment, workforce- related, business ethics and responsible purchasing. Workforce-related: formal HSE policy DKSH adopted a formal HSE (health, safety and environment) policy at the group level in 2017. The initiative shows its desire to adopt a structured approach. DKSH is currently preparing standardised reporting relating to indicators concerning health and safety at work. Workforce-related: focus on training DKSH is a provider of services, and so its people are key assets. In order to foster loyalty among its talented staff members and help them develop, the group has set up an internal training centre BEST PRACTICE
