 Douwe Egberts Coffee Systems and its mother company Sara Lee/DE are market-oriented companies. That puts us at the heart of the community. Marketing top quality branded products is good - but in this context, we believe that it does not go far enough. In plain language, we want to be a socially sensitive employer and a good corporate citizen. Our ethical framework is contained in Sara Lee/DE's 'Global Business Standards'. Honesty and integrity are the basics, but our responsibility goes further.
Sara Lee/DE is determined to play an active, progressive role in all countries and communities where we are active - and so contribute to the quality of life.
Concrete programs and policies are:
 Diversity programs to create a more diverse workplace
- Work Life balance programs which are implemented in each of our local operating companies
- Community involvement and the PPP programs (Promoting People's Performance) whereby our employees across the world contribute to their local communities
Douwe Egberts Coffee Systems complies with the 'Global Business Standards of SARA LEE / D.E.' showing our responsibility towards our consumers, stockholders, business partners, communities and to ourselves.
