The “Coup de Coeur” awards were the result of a rich and diversified collection of CSR best practices in the third edition of PostEurop's CSR Brochure, which allows PostEurop Members to share up to 48 initiatives. Once again this publication showed that Postal Operators are investing time and energy in Corporate Social Responsibility, in order to continue the improvement and development of the industry, as well as to provide a better working environment for all their workers and quality services for their customers.
Several external experts with experience in CSR participated to the final jury for the selection of the 2015 Coup de Coeur. Here are some words from two of our participating expert judges:
“The 2015 Coups de Cœur of PostEurop demonstrated the vitality and creativity of the postal sector on CSR-related issues. The leadership of the European postal operators will certainly steer the rest of the postal sector on the path towards sustainability” said Anne-Claire Blet, UPU, Sustainable development specialist.
“Good examples are important and competition is fun. Sustainability is a great topic and the shared good practices really showed the way towards success. It was very difficult to select the best examples and our different priorities and perceptions of sustainability generated really interesting discussions. But in the end this selection process is all about raising awareness and being proud of the projects’ outcome” concluded Eva Stenström - EKSN Consulting AB.
Congratulations to all the winners.
