Sustainability at d.vinci: information on green topics

How green is d.vinci? What is d.vinci already doing for sustainability? I work for a sustainable company and would like to win d.vinci as a partner – who can I contact? All information about sustainability at d.vinci is summarized here in the “d.vinci goes green” portal.

Why do we do this?

We are sure that we as a company have a certain ecological responsibility and are not only subject to the pursuit of profit. Therefore, we should take this responsibility to a healthy extent and ask ourselves where we can make things more sustainable and also incorporate this into our corporate culture in a smart way.
