Sustainability & ESG

Responsibility is part of DS Gruppen. We help you with construction projects that meet the growing demands of the industry – with a focus on the environment, climate and social conditions.

A responsible construction industry

A responsible construction industry

Responsibility has always played a major role at DS Gruppen and our subsidiaries. This applies to our relationships with customers and partners, and to the way we organise our work and our impact on society. At DS Gruppen, we want to help you deliver construction projects that meet the standards and requirements that are increasingly in demand in the industry today. We know that high demands are placed on the construction industry, and that is why we continuously work to develop our processes and focus areas – including the environment, climate and social conditions. In recent years, we have expanded the way we work with sustainability by bringing together a cross-functional sustainability group, so that we can develop collectively and ensure that we work together across the group.

Our most important resource

Our most important resource

At DS Gruppen, our employees are in every respect our most important resource, and we continuously work to create the best possible workplace for them. This is especially true when it comes to preventing work-related injuries, where through thorough instruction and induction we ensure that new employees, and especially younger employees, are familiar with the safety rules and our procedures from day one. But it also applies to creating a workplace for our employees where there is room for both professional and personal development.

Considerations in production and projects

Considerations in production and projects

In our production companies DS Elcobyg, DS Stålprofil and DS Stålkonstruktion, we work on optimising our production methods through calculations and planning so that we avoid unnecessary resource consumption and ensure efficient use of materials and capacity. When we design and construct turnkey projects at DS Flexhal, we advise our customers on relevant alternatives and optional extras, including energy-saving options, which can contribute to a robust solution that suits both the customer, the end user and the framework of the project. All DS Group companies work individually on their own initiatives, and on the respective pages of our companies you can read about the specific methods and initiatives we are engaged in. For example, you can download their various EPDs.

Focus on young people’s wellbeing

Focus on young people’s wellbeing

DS Group is also conscious of its responsibility towards the surrounding community. Among other things, we are the main sponsor of Hobro IK. For more than 20 years, we have supported the football club and thereby local community associations. DS Group and Hobro IK both work to support the physical as well as mental health of young people in the local area. Therefore, young people’s mental health in particular has become an important cause for DS Group, and we have, among other things, launched a project in which our apprentice coordinator from DS Stålkonstruktion, in collaboration with the organisation headspace, visits a number of vocational schools to start the conversation about mental wellbeing.

Did you know?

… that we, as a group, are members of the Danish Green Building Council? Sharing experience and knowledge is an important part of development in the construction industry, and it is a priority both across our subsidiaries and within our network in the industry. Through our membership of the Danish Green Building Council, we stay up to date with news and relevant knowledge about developments in the industry.
