Danish Industries
The Confederation of Danish Industry (DI) is a private organisation, funded, owned and managed entirely by approximately 11,000 companies within the manufacturing, trade and service industries.
"In order for companies to prepare for the future global market, they need to be accountable and pay close attention to both local and global demands," says Acting Director General, Kim Graugaard."
"The companies increasingly demand more of their employees and of society. This is necessary if Denmark is to remain one of the richest societies in a still more internationalised and knowledge-based economy. All companies face new demands e.g. politicians, organisations and populations expect them to contribute to a sustainable development. An open dialogue across the society is thus vital," says Kim Graugaard.
