The sustainability concept of dc AG

For our environment
We want this planet to remain a great place to live - today and for generations to come. The climate crisis, biodiversity loss, and resource scarcity are real challenges, and we don’t want to just stand by and watch. That’s why we question our processes, reduce our CO₂ footprint, and use energy and resources more consciously. Not perfectly, but with a clear commitment to get better every single year.
For our team
We create a work environment that is healthy, fair, and built to last. That includes modern work models, a high level of ownership, flat hierarchies, and room for personal balance. Team activities like Vegan Wednesdays, Plogging Days, and taking part in STADTRADELN make sure sustainability doesn’t stay just a concept - it becomes part of our everyday life.
For our society
Our understanding of sustainability is holistic. Alongside environmental and climate protection, we also stay involved socially, culturally, and regionally. Because for us, a region worth living in is just as much a part of sustainable action as ecological responsibility and social commitment. That’s why we support projects that strengthen community and help keep our region worth living in for the long term.

The podcast about our sustainability concept

In 12 episodes of the green beyond the logo podcast, Lisa and Tobi join different team members and external experts to talk about the sustainability concept of dc AG and share inspiring insights into our green day-to-day work. And we don’t stop at theory: we also take a look at how sustainability is put into practice in other companies and industries - and share practical, inspiring ideas for getting started yourselves.

I’m Lisa, and at dc I’m responsible for sustainability. Since 2020, I’ve been supporting our sustainability efforts and making sure good intentions turn into concrete action.
 
We’re not a corporation with a dedicated sustainability department. That’s why I manage this topic alongside my role as Team Lead in online marketing. I plan our annual measures, share regular updates with the team, and motivate colleagues to join initiatives like Plogging Day. My goal is to make sure sustainability at dc stays practical for everyday life and is truly lived across the company.
