- EG has for several years been part of the UN Global Compact, where we commit ourselves to working with good corporate governance based on 10 global principles of social responsibility. Right now, I see it as more important than ever that companies like EG take a co-responsibility for pushing society and climate efforts in the right direction. As a company, we cannot solve all the problems in the world, but we can make an effort where we are. That is why we have introduced the EG Volunteer Program, which means that workers, that is both employees and contractor can spend a paid working day on volunteer work every year, says EG's CEO, Mikkel Bardram.



Workers can decide for themselves where they want to put their efforts, as long as it is voluntary, unpaid work that supports the UN's world goals and initiatives with a focus on social, environmental or health.



- The only requirement is that they get their project approved and that they share their experiences. Because I believe that voluntary involvement is contagious, whether it is about standing one day in a thrift store, clearing the local beach of plastic, or arranging an exercise run in the neighborhood. The hope is that with EG Volunteer Program we can inspire each other and others, so that together we can make a greater effort for and with each other, says Mikkel Bardram.



The voluntary scheme is part of EG's CSR strategy and supports, among other things, the group's support for UN World Goal # 17 - Partnership for Action.
