    To our stakeholders:

    I am pleased to confirm that JuhlerGroup Asia Pte Ltd reaffirms its support of the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption.
    In this annual Communication on Progress, we describe our actions to continually improve the integration of the Global Compact and its principles into our business strategy, culture and daily operations. We also commit to sharing this information with our stakeholders using our primary channels of communication.
    Within our group we hold regular CSR meetings in order to exchange and develop ideas on how to improve relations and reduce our carbon footprint.
    Focusing on proper Onboarding is an essential way of making recruiting new staff a success for employers as well as the new employees. We have invested in Onboarding Group – a company that has developed an essential programme in order to improve this process. We are going to use the programme ourselves as well as present it to our clients.
    We are also investing in a new program called Net Promoter Score in order to ensure that we constantly have a proper overview of the quality of our services. This system enables us to act quickly in case of quality issues regarding our services. This will benefit our clients, candidates and staff by securing that we are always providing the best possible service to all the related parties.
    We have continue investing in green initiatives like solar panel companies and are constantly looking for ways to improve as global citizens.

    Sincerely yours,
    Erik Dyrmann Juhler
    Director of JuhlerGroup Asia Pte Ltd
