Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is more than a buzzword or hype. In our view, it is a duty that every organisation must take seriously. As an organisation, you must dare to take responsibility for the environmental, human and social impact of your operations.
DNS Belgium is aware of the impact it has on the environment, people and society. We have been making efforts for years to minimise that impact to the utmost. While, of course, we also want to create added value for others. You will find examples and tips to get started yourself.
Four ways we engage in corporate social responsibility

Everyone aware and safe online

Support Digital for Youth
Digital for Youth is an initiative of DNS Belgium through which we want to promote digitalisation among young people. In cooperation with the King Baudouin Foundation, Digital for Youth collects written-off laptops from companies. We refurbish these laptops to as-new condition and then distribute them among social organisations, institutions and non-profit associations working with young people.
In this way, we make young people digital savvy and help them on their way in the digital society. Thanks to Digital for Youth, young people who previously did not have the means to do so are able to do their schoolwork, participate in home education, look for work, apply for a job, etc.
With this article, we support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
