The DRE suite of resources has replaced PDAC's original e3 program, first established over twenty years ago (which was expanded into e3 Plus in 2009). These resources include the Principles & Guidance Notes booklet – which aims to help create a solid platform on which organizations should build their CSR policies – plus three comprehensive Toolkits encompassing environmental stewardship, health and safety, and social responsibility. These Toolkits are practical guides for companies who want to move from principles to successful, real-world best practices and performance.

Click on each of the blocks below to download your copy of the DRE program's Principles & Guidance Notes, and each of the three available Toolkits.
