The sustainability concept of dc AG

For our environment

We want this planet to remain a place worth living on - today and for future generations. Climate change, 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 getting better every 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 personal ownership, flat hierarchies, and space for personal balance. Team activities like Vegan Wednesdays, Plogging Days, and taking part in STADTRADELN make sure sustainability doesn’t stay just a concept, but becomes part of our everyday life.

For our society

Our understanding of sustainability is holistic. In addition to protecting the environment and climate, we also get 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 livable for the long term.

Your contact for sustainability: Lisa Köppel

I’m Lisa, and at dc I’m responsible for sustainability. Since 2020, I’ve been supporting our sustainability area and making sure good intentions turn into concrete action.
 
We’re not a corporation with our own sustainability department. That’s why I manage this topic alongside my role as Team Lead in online marketing. I plan our annual measures, report regularly to the team, and motivate colleagues to get involved in activities like Plogging Day. My goal is to keep sustainability practical in everyday life at dc - and to make sure it’s truly lived.
