DFDS

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

We, DFDS, will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:

• No member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen
• In some circumstances special treatment may be appropriate, especially for the injured or bereaved.

DFDS recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by:

• Supporting the employment of veterans of all ages and working with the Career Transition Partnership (CTP), in order to establish a tailored employment pathway for Service Leavers
• We will work in partnership with ‘Veterans into Logistics’ to support Service Leavers and families to find meaningful employment  
• Providing special paid leave for employees who are bereaved through the loss of a member of the Armed Forces
• Striving to support the employment of Service spouses and partners by working in collaboration with Families Forces Jobs.
