Sustainability:
We take action today - for a safe tomorrow.
We take action today - for a safe tomorrow.
Our long-term and holistic approach is something that has characterised us in the DEHN family company ever since it was founded in 1910. We see it as our corporate obligation to take responsibility for our own actions, conserve resources and hand over a planet on which life is worth living to future generations.
For us, this means that economic growth must go hand in hand with the protection of resources and people. That's why we have set out to integrate sustainability step by step into all areas of our business in order to position ourselves for the future.
Our sustainable approach
As an industrial manufacturing company, we are aware of our responsibility when it comes to sustainability. This is why DEHN is gearing its business models towards sustainable management.
We act in accordance with ESG criteria and consider the ecological (environmental), social and economic aspects in equal measure and harmonise them with legal regulations and social requirements (governance) – all with the aim of sustainable company management.
As part of our materiality assessment conducted in 2023, we defined four areas of action as the core areas of our sustainability strategy. By grouping related topics together, we can organise the parts where they overlap more effectively and leverage the synergies that arise. This also enables us to use our resources more efficiently and define overarching strategic goals.
Ecological responsibility
Here at DEHN, we see climate and environmental protection as a key part of our corporate responsibility, in the knowledge that a sound ecological system is the long-term basis for all economic activity. As a manufacturing company, we see the careful use of energy, raw materials and other materials, as well as the consistent development of recycling concepts, as a central lever for making a significant contribution to sustainable development. Another way we do this is to actively minimise the impact of our activities on the air, soil and water.

Responsible corporate governance
Inspired by the Global Compact, the Sustainable Development Goals and the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights as important United Nations frameworks, we are committed to value-oriented corporate governance. We treat our stakeholders fairly and expect all our employees to observe the principles and standards of ethical and lawful behaviour and to make them an integral part of our corporate culture. Since this understanding extends along our entire value chain, we also consistently involve our business partners. Together with them, we want to ensure that our actions are lawful, sustainable and conducted with integrity, inside and outside our factory gates.
We also play close attention on the German Act on Corporate Due Diligence in Supply Chains.

Responsible employer
As a development-driven company, qualified and innovative employees are of fundamental importance to us. Recruiting, training and retaining them promotes our innovative strength and secures our future. Fair and safe working conditions that also reflect social changes such as the desire for flexible working hours and locations are a basic requirement here. As a global company, we promote the diversity of our workforce and consciously integrate people from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
