The partnership, which began in 2011, is underpinned by a common
purpose to inspire positive change among the global communities
that the two organisations serve, and that will continue with the
evolution of ‘A World United‘ campaign with fresh objectives under
a new rallying cry, ‘United for One Goal’.
The ‘United for One Goal’ campaign harnesses the power of sport
and business to help achieve a more socially-responsible,
sustainable world by recognising fans and local heroes who make a
difference in their communities – whether through volunteering time
for worthy causes or inspiring positive change through grassroots
initiatives.
Worthy nominations – that share the partnership values of
sustainability, teamwork, high-performance and efficiency – will be
entered in the ‘United for One Goal’ recognition programme, with
rewards including signed Manchester United merchandise, tickets for
games at Old Trafford, and a unique opportunity to play on the
famous pitch at the Theatre of Dreams. Nominations can be made
here.
Omar Berrada, Chief Executive Officer at Manchester United,
said: “We are delighted to continue our longstanding relationship
with DHL. We share many years of positive impactful work, and this
will continue globally through ‘United for One Goal’.”
“The longevity of the partnership is down to our shared values
and our ambitions to use our global influence to drive positive
change in local communities.”
DHL, the world's leading express and logistics company, has been
part of Manchester United’s family of partners for 13 years and
offers a wide range of products and services for the club's fans
across the world.
John Pearson, CEO DHL Express, added: “The shared values of our
partnership with Manchester United continue to go from strength to
strength – engaging, connecting and inspiring a fan base which is
truly global.
“We are so pleased to be continuing the longstanding partnership
with Manchester United; in this next phase we will look to combine
the global power of both brands to connect people and improve lives
whilst delivering a better world.”
