Our ESG strategy

DS Gruppen works purposefully with responsible business operations across our companies. Our ESG strategy builds on the initiatives and activities we have already launched and describes the areas in which we are working to improve our environmental, social and governance efforts. The environmental area constitutes a large part of this work. In our manufacturing companies, we have ongoing projects focusing on material efficiency, recycling and reducing resource consumption wherever technically and operationally possible. On this page, you can read more about our initiatives and the related documentation.

ESG: Environmental

ESG: Environmental

In our projects, we work with solutions that can reduce CO₂ emissions compared with traditional construction processes, for example through the choice of energy-efficient materials, optimised waste management and increased recycling. We invest in digital tools for construction design that reduce errors and material waste. We can build in accordance with DGNB or BREEAM® when projects require it and when the requirements can be documented and verified.

In addition, we have entered into a Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (cPPA) with Norlys. The agreement means that part of our future electricity consumption will be covered by power generation from new Danish solar and wind farms via guarantees of origin.

Our companies’ EPDs contain life cycle data for our products, including information on production methods and environmental impacts.

ESG: Social

ESG: Social

At DS Gruppen, we work to ensure proper working conditions and a working environment that supports wellbeing, equality and skills development. At DS Flexhal, new employees are assigned a mentor from day one, and we offer ongoing development opportunities, including in leadership. At DS Stålkonstruktion, we have similar mentoring schemes that support apprentices and trainees throughout their training programmes. As a local company in Hobro, we have a particular responsibility to contribute to the surrounding community. Our sponsorship strategy focuses on “Young people’s mental health and wellbeing”, where we support initiatives that can strengthen young people in their education and working lives.
