Two years ago, DVF received the recommendation from ACE for the first time due to the society’s results-driven and effective work, as well as employee well-being.
This year, ACE has conducted an even more comprehensive evaluation that delves into the rationales behind DVF’s approach to creating change. Furthermore, ACE has once again estimated how many animal lives are saved per danish krone donated to DVF, concluding that approximately one animal life is saved for every nine kroner donated. (1,2 Euros)
In its assessment, ACE writes:
“We are proud to recommend the Vegetarian Society of Denmark as an excellent donation opportunity. It works to reform the food system and reduce the consumption of animal products, thereby lessening the enormous suffering endured by the millions of animals exploited for food production in Denmark.”
ACE highlights that they are “particularly impressed” by our collaboration with other organizations through the Network for Future Plant Proteins and the Plant-Based Knowledge Center.
They also acknowledge the Vegetarian Societys efforts in inspiring the Danish Parliament and government to establish the Plant Fund and Denmark’s plant-based action plan—initiatives that could potentially “lead to a real transformation of Denmark’s food system.”
ACE further assesses that DVF’s recently initiated work at the EU level has promising prospects.
“We are incredibly honored by this reappointment among so many fantastic organizations worldwide. It motivates us to focus even more on creating change both nationally and internationally, especially in connection with Denmark’s upcoming EU presidency,” says Rune-Christoffer Dragsdahl, Secretary-General of the Vegetarian Society of Denmark.
