The UN Sustainable Development Goals

We also focus on learning and skills development. Across the group, we run activities that give both employees and young people insight into our specialist areas. DS Flexhal runs a networking group for newer employees, where experiences of working life and management are shared. At DS Stålkonstruktion, we offer mentoring schemes for interns and apprentices and regularly welcome visits from students so they can see what the work involves in practice. In addition, DS Elcobyg collaborates with FGU Himmerland on programmes that allow young people who are not in employment or education to try their hand at production tasks.

Three of our companies have their own production operations, so we also focus on resource consumption and environmental management. Both DS Stålkonstruktion and DS Stålprofil are certified to ISO 14001, which requires a systematic approach to environmental work. Among other materials, DS Stålprofil uses GreenCoat® steel from SSAB, whose coating partly contains bio-based components. At DS Elcobyg, we work to reduce concrete waste wherever possible, including through more accurate calculation methods and by participating in the steering group for the Sustainable Concrete Initiative, where the industry collaborates on new knowledge and developments in concrete construction. In 2025, DS Elcobyg also participated in a research project with other concrete companies to investigate alternative binders for cement and assess their potential to reduce concrete’s carbon footprint.
