Dirk has worked almost 3 years under my responsibility to settle the fundations of CSR in our Group in Europe as a strategic business driver. Dirk demonstrated quickly his sense of adaptation, his strong capability to set the basis of an important project and to define the steps considering different angles (culture-Biz- People- Environment-investments) to make it happen where biz became a real actor of the change. I am open to further practical illustrations of my above comments. Patrick Woitrain
