On World Cancer Day, February 4th, DHL Express Egypt delivered a package of happiness to the Children’s Cancer Hospital 57357. The package delivered by DHL Express Egypt was sent by its Paper of Hope initiative.
DHL’s Paper of Hope initiative was the brainchild of DHL Express Egypt employees who participated in the company’s Got Heart global competition to present new ideas to help the community. Under this initiative, DHL collects all its used papers and cartons from its offices and warehouses and sends them to be upcycled into usable products. The proceeds from selling these products are used by DHL Express Egypt to help charitable organizations.
On this occasion, a team from DHL Express Egypt delivered wigs for the girls who lost their hair due to cancer treatments along with backpacks to the children at the hospital. A hairdresser accompanied the team to help the children try on some of their favourite wigs and choose their best fit. During this visit, the DHL team took all advised covid-19 precautionary measures from wearing face masks at all times through applying social distances between children to disinfecting everything that changed hands.
Hospital representatives, who have been present during the visit, praised DHL’s move, saying that in-kind gifts and visits to the children can truly help them feel the support they need to fight cancer.
Ahmed ElFangary, DHL Express Egypt Country Manager, said: “We are glad we were able to take part in this project. DHL Express Egypt is always keen to give back to the community, as social responsibility is a big part of DHL global strategy.”
He added: “Our strategy 2025 is focused on sustainability. Our purpose is connecting people, improving lives. Through our services across 220 countries and territories, we facilitate global trade and contribute to economic development and prosperity. DHL has launched numerous initiatives and programs, including GoHelp, in partnership With the United Nations in Disaster Management, and GoGreen to protect the environment.”
DHL has periodized community development as well as protecting the environment. Logistics plays a central role in the global economy and therefore the industry can play a crucial part in the way business is done. DHL has made it its mission to achieve zero emissions by 2050 by pioneering green logistics.
“At DHL, we utilize our expertise to make your logistics greener and more sustainable. The Paper of Hope project is one way to apply circular-economy principles: to eradicate waste and retain more of the value that goes into your products. Our GoGreen program allows us to work on measures to help minimize the impact of our business operations on the environment, where we became 35% more carbon-efficient than in 2007,” ElFangary said.
