BLOOD DONATION: 1st Donation session at DNEU completed!

Between the 11-18th April, DNEU colleagues were invited to take part in some organised blood donation sessions.

The donation facilities were off-site, so a designated driver was assigned to take the donors to the Blood transfusion Service venue in Amsterdam.

In total, there were 8 donors who took part during the working week, and a further 8 donors who did so in their own time. 16 donors represents 6% of DNEU staff, which exceeds the initial target of 5% of colleagues donating. This is a GREAT result for DNEU, and we hope this will continue!

The DENSO Blood Drive team members all met up at the close of the RAPID program on 8-9th November in DENSO European Headquarters in Weesp, The Netherlands.
Andre had managed to negotiate for us to get some suitable uniforms for our final project presentation:

Our presentation was very well received, and we were presented with our RAPID Certificates.

We will be reporting further about how successful each donation session has been at each DENSO site, so that you can read about our real-life achievements across DENSO Europe.

PROMOTION: DNEU make blood donation easier for associates

As part of a dedicated Corporate Social Responsibility project, DNEU has been working hard promote the donation of blood among it's associates. These posters will soon appear on the walls of the offices to encourage people to make time to donate, and advising them of how to become involved:

In addition to providing transport to and from the donation venue, the DNEU team has made efforts to streamline the registration process that is a legal requirement for anyone in the Netherlands to complete before blood donation, by creating a 'registration card' for associates to complete in advance of the blood donation session.

He is positive regarding our project but wants to have consensus with the Management Committee.
