About Deres
Deres: Leading the Way in Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development
Deres is a non-profit business organization that brings together the leading companies in Uruguay who are committed to developing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Sustainable Development. The organization was founded with the aim of promoting responsible business practices that benefit society, the environment, and the economy.
At Deres, we believe that businesses have a responsibility to contribute positively to society and protect our planet for future generations. We work closely with our member companies to help them integrate CSR into their operations, develop sustainable business models, and create shared value for all stakeholders.
Our members come from a wide range of industries including finance, energy, agriculture, manufacturing, retail, and more. They share a common vision of creating a better world through responsible business practices. By working together through Deres they can leverage their collective expertise and resources to achieve greater impact.
One of our key initiatives is promoting sustainable development in Uruguay. We believe that economic growth should not come at the expense of social or environmental well-being. Our members are committed to finding innovative solutions that balance economic development with social progress and environmental protection.
To achieve this goal we offer various programs such as training workshops on sustainability reporting standards like GRI (Global Reporting Initiative), stakeholder engagement strategies or carbon footprint measurement tools; networking events where members can exchange best practices; research studies on sustainability trends in different sectors; advocacy campaigns aimed at raising awareness about sustainability issues among policymakers or consumers.
We also collaborate with other organizations both nationally and internationally who share our values such as UN Global Compact Network Uruguay or Business Call To Action (BCtA). These partnerships allow us to learn from others' experiences while sharing ours so we can collectively advance towards more sustainable economies worldwide.
In addition to promoting sustainable development in Uruguay we also focus on improving corporate governance practices among our members. We believe that good governance is essential for building trust between businesses and their stakeholders which ultimately leads to better business performance. We offer training programs on topics such as board diversity, risk management, or anti-corruption policies.
Another area of focus for Deres is promoting social inclusion and diversity in the workplace. We believe that businesses have a responsibility to create equal opportunities for all regardless of gender, race, ethnicity or any other characteristic. Our members are committed to implementing policies that promote diversity and inclusion in their organizations.
We also work with our members to develop community engagement programs that address local needs and contribute positively to society. These initiatives range from supporting education programs for underprivileged children or providing job training opportunities for disadvantaged youth.
In conclusion, Deres is a leading organization in Uruguay dedicated to promoting Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Sustainable Development among its member companies. Through our various initiatives we aim to create shared value for all stakeholders while contributing positively to society and protecting the environment. Join us today and be part of the solution!
