Our Responsibility
Sustainability and Compliance at DS
As a medium-sized family business, we think in terms of generations – and have been doing so for over 100 years. Responsible entrepreneurship and the ability to change are part of our DNA. People are at the centre of everything we do: our customers, our business partners and our employees. Despite all change, this constant is the anchor on which we base all our actions – today and in the future.
With great power comes great responsibility
We take our responsibility towards our employees, our shareholders, our business partners and the social environment seriously. Our business practices are always characterized by reliability, performance and sustainability.
– Jan Christiansen, CEO of the DS Group
