The sustainability concept of dc AG

For our environment

We want this planet to stay livable – today and for future generations. Climate crisis, loss of biodiversity, and resource scarcity are real challenges we refuse to ignore. That’s why we question our processes, reduce our CO₂ footprint, and use energy and resources more consciously. Not perfect, but always with the clear goal to improve every year.

For our team

We create a work environment that’s healthy, fair, and built to last. That means modern work models, lots of personal responsibility, flat hierarchies, and space for personal balance. Team activities like Vegan Wednesdays, Plogging Days, and joining STADTRADELN make sure sustainability isn’t just a concept, but part of our everyday life.

For our society

Our understanding of sustainability is holistic. Alongside environmental and climate protection, we’re also committed to social, cultural, and regional engagement. Because a vibrant region is just as much a part of sustainable action for us as ecological responsibility and social commitment. That’s why we support projects that strengthen our community and keep our region a great place to live.

I’m Lisa and I’m responsible for sustainability at dc. Since 2020, I’ve been driving our sustainability efforts and making sure good intentions turn into real actions.
 
We’re not a big corporation with a dedicated sustainability department. That’s why I handle this topic alongside my role as Team Lead in Online Marketing. I plan our yearly actions, regularly update the team, and motivate colleagues to join in on activities like Plogging Day. My goal: keep sustainability at dc practical and truly lived.
