Sustainability at Dussmann
Ecological. Social. Economical.
As a family business and international service provider, we want to be problem solvers for our clients and co-designers of living and working spaces. Creating something sustainable is our core competence. That's why acting responsibly and ethically has always been one of our fundamental principles. Or to put it another way: For us, sustainability is not a buzzword - it's how we do business.
Of course, that doesn't mean that we already do everything perfectly. We also want to become better. To this end, the Dussmann Group, as the parent company, has set clear goals and developed instruments to monitor and document the achievement of these goals. In this way, we too can measure ourselves against them and learn from them. By acting sustainably, we improve our business processes in all areas - ecologically, socially and economically.

Integrated management system
Our sustainability policy has method
We know: Sustainability policy is not a one-off measure, it is an ongoing process. To organize, control and monitor this process, we have made our sustainability policy part of our integrated management system. This maps and structures all the methods and instruments we develop in the areas of quality, health protection, occupational safety and environmental protection.
In doing so, we adhere closely to international environmental, energy and quality standards. Our integrated management system is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and, in part, ISO 50001. And, of course, we also like to be measured by the satisfaction of our employees, business contacts and clients.
